Cathouse

Hiya! I live in Westford and see Dr. Shen. He and Jiser are supposed to be the best in this area, although I'm still waiting to lose ANYTHING 6 months out.

I'm ready to throw myself off a bridge...I really am. I had a band put in six months ago and have actually gained five pounds. I've had FIVE fills and the food still just whisks through...they won't fill it any further and have checked for leaks. I have NEVER felt more than just a tad constricted. I can guzzle 20 ounces of water at a time in huge gulps, take a big bite of something and swallow it hole, swallow huge pills...I just don't get it. I do feel full faster, but am perfectly capable of eating 2 cups of food before I feel full. I have always eaten a pretty healthy diet, low carbs, little fat, but just eat too damn much, and nothing has changed with the band. The Dr. keeps insisting I must be eating gallons of ice cream or other easy to swallow, high calorie soft foods. I wish the bastard could come to my house and see what I eat. The problem is the same as always...I'm hungrier for way more food than my body burns off. With three meals a day I still need two snacks. Has anyone else had as dissapointing of an experience as I have? What the hell is wrong with me?:help: :cry
