Fills/ Unfills/ no weight loss

Well after 10 months of fills and unfills and only losing 30 lbs I have decided to just have some fluid taken out for good. I work out very hard 5 days a week and I cant get enough calories in for my workout. I am unable to eat anything before 3pm and end up throwing up most of my dinner. Im sick of it. I had a fill expecting to lose more weight but that just isnt the case. Im very conscious about fitness and nutrition and at this rate Im only doing myself harm.

Ive been so jealout about the people around me lately. My family and friends are doing the 17 day diet and losing crazy amounts of weight!!! Meanwhile, I work out, eat right and have a band around my stomach and still nothing happens. On the 17 day diet, they dont workout either - mainly because the calories are so low. It is only recommended to walk for 17 minutes. Please!!! Im so disappointed.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I still weigh 197 and Im 5'4. Still "obese". Really wanted to get down to 170.

I think you can still reach your goal. It's gotta start coming off with what you're doing already. Best of luck to you on this tough journey.

I dont even weigh myself anymore because its so disappointing. Going for an unfill today so I can eat again. I will continue to eat well and exercise anbd watch others revel in their weight loss success. :(

I can feel you kelly, I am stuck on 220 lbs no matter what I do or eat the weight want come off. People around me losing weight and I paid for a surgery that I wish I never have gotten. Several people ask was I gaining weight again. I felt trouble after they ask me that question. I do not eat much, do not snack and sweets are OUT! The only thing I can say at this point is that we keep doing what we doing to keep our bodies healthy and hope that the weight come off. I had my surgery July of 2010 and lose 40 lbs. that's it. I am thinking about throwing my scale out the window!! GWL

I'm so there! I am sooooo over filled but in order to have a little unfill I have to have my port flipped because it got flipped during my c-section (or at least that is there guess). It sucks because I can't eat anything healthy! I throw up off of MASHED carrots...REALLY! The only fruit I can eat is watermelon or bananas everything else gets stuck....I'm so ready to remove a little fill so that I can eat better choices...I mean I'm not hating the cheese grits but it's not helping me lol ;)
