Does anyone have type one diabetes and thyroid problems and got banded? Does it take you a while to lose weight?

i dont feel like I need a fill..I just need to exercise...but even when I exercise I seem to gain weight still...I mean really how fast can you gain muscle? Just very frustrated. Some how this will work out i know but wish it will happen sooner.

well I been banded for a year and have only lost 30 pounds and feel like a failure and would love to have any help ..suggestions ...anything. b4 band I exercised but had problems with eating.. I find that when i do exercise now I gain rather than loose and very frustrated...I know I should have been eating more calories..I tell i cant eat what i used too and have not exercised lately..(too busy) I feel like I am just ranting and raving and not really making any sense..sorry. If you could tell me what you ate when you first had the band and your ideas on what i could do to lose some weight i would reallllllyyyy appreciate it...

How often do you do cardio? Have you ever experienced a weight gain after doing a week of cardio? I have noticed when I bumped up my cardio I have gained 3 pounds..I dont get it.. I know muscle weighs more than fat..but I could not of gained 3 lbs o muscle in one week. Does anyone have any suggestions?/ and what do you eat for breakfast....do you eat oly three meals ...any snacks?

I love to work out on the elliptical machine. I would like to get one for my own house. Does anyone use an elliptical and what brand do you own.

Just wondering if you could give me some samples of eating plans. Thanks for your help...it is greatly apprecitated..I just want to get back to loosing.:thumbup:

I had my surgery july 7 2008 and onlt have lost 30 pounds. I am type 1 diabetic and exercise regularly. Does anyone have any advise for me? Do you follow any meal plan or just eat what you make for the rest of the family? I think if I had a dietician that would make me a plan what to eat and when that would help..but when I suggested that to my dietician she said not everyone likes the same food she likes! She never even tried.. but if anyone has any advise I sure would appreciate it..:cool2:

I had the same thoughts because I was exercising and thought i was eating right and still not loosing before i got the band. I am diabetic (type 1) and listed all my concerns to the dr, still got the band and had about 5 fills and 1 year out and had only lost 30 pounds. I never had to do a presurgery diet though. Just wondering if there is anyone out there that can give me some advice on what they are doing to lose weight //// I dont drink with my meals I wait about 1-2 hours after and eat protein first (nothing slimy to just slide down) I am really flustrated. Help:angry: Please
