I actually hate this thing, but know that if it is gone I will gain all my weight back and more. Today I ate a loose scrambled egg and it would not stay down. The "fur" ball brings it right back. (sorry for being graphic) I would be happy for 1 lb a week right now. I am lucky to get 1 lb a month. I have a lot of stress right now, old parents will be moving where I live, and I have to go do it all no other children. Very stressful job. I think with all this I must be inflaming the stoma. Sorry to go on and on, just needed to vent. My other LAP-BAND® group just harps pick up your boot straps and eat right. THanks for letting me vent.  |
Welcome, did you just want to vent or are you looking for suggestions? More info would be helpful. How many calories and what kind of foods ( and in what quantity) are you able to eat? What size band and how much fill do you have.
So many people that are too tight do not lose weight. I know it doesn't always make sense, but many people that are too tight, get a SMALL unfill and when they go back to solid healthy protein, they begin to lose weight again. It's a balance between being loose enough that solid protein goes down and a meal of solid protein satisfies you for several hours.
I'm sure many on the forum will give you some suggestions to get back on track, with more info.
