I thought working out you were suppose to lose weight NOT GAIN IT BACK. I havent had a fill since Nov 4th and I have 7 cc's in me so far. I can eat almost anything after the band loosens in the morning. I have fallen of the damn wagon and I dont know how to get back on it. I guess I keep eating slider foods, i dont know. I'm trying to be good, but I crave cereal late at night and I eat salad and I am able to get down a WHOLE BOWL of salad with all kinds of veggies, cheese, bacon bits etc. I should NOT be able to eat a whole damn bowl of salad. What the hell is wrong with me??? I dont have any diet plan laid out, I just try to watch what I eat and nothing seems to work. I dont get hungry at times I should be and I get hungry at times I shouldnt be getting hungry like at 8 or 9 pm while watching dvd's or reading.

I'm at the end of my rope and I'm seriously thinking that this LAP-BAND® was the wrong way to go..because I have so many things working AGAINST ME IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY...I have PCOS, INSULIN RESISTANCE and I'm FAT! I workout 4 times a week and I'm starting to think that if my body is gonna be stubborn then maybe I should be too and exercise for hrs EVERY DAY..but wont I be risking gaining muscle weight and not really losing any weight? I'm so confused and pissed off!! HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP PLEASE!!!!

Don't give up on yourself so easily. You will lose the weight ,but you have to stick to the program .Continue to excerise and eat the proper foods(not slider foods).

Try and remember back to the first day you stepped on the scale and it moved .How did it make you feel ?? Keep that feeling in your head ,you have been through alot lately ,and you need to STOP beating yourself up .I have this same problem when I excerise I gain water weight ,the weight you have gain could just be that .Then after a while your body will adjust to the work outs and you will see results.
You didn't become overweight over night and you will not lose the weight over night ,this is a tool to help you and you just have to let it . Sounds like you might need a fill if you can eat more than you should .and leave out the bacon bits they contain salt which also retains fluid in your body. Please take a look at what is in your cabinets and fridge grab a trash bag or give it to somebody who needs it.Remove the products that will not help you in your goal . One thing you must do is not eat that late at night ,I know that 's hard (or I would have never gotten where I am being overweight).That's where your will power has to come in to play here,the tool is to help it won't do all the work for you .I read where you said " I get hurgry at times I shouldn't be ,and not when I should be ",now that you know that work around it eat when you should even a little then when you shouldn't be hungry it won't be . If I come off sounding mean that in not my intention . You've come along very well with losing as far as weight coming off ,but you need encouragement ,so please don't be so hard on yourself .You only will be hurting yourself in the long run .When you are hungry grab a protein drink it should hold you over till it's meal time ,if not drink favored water . You've put your body throgh all this ,don't give up now ,sit and think about how you felt 9months ago -10 months ago do you really want to be back there ?? I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you find your better off going at it slow and steady Best Wishes.
