I everyone. I got the lapband surgery on april 13 2012. At that time i was positive that it would be a good thing for me. I understand that that this is a tool, but someone please help me. I lost 7lbs with the pre-op diet. I didn't drop a single pound since the surgery. I have followed the post op instructions to a tee. I count calories everyday, and do not exceed 1000-1200 calories. I make healthy choices, have at least 65 grams of protien, drink 9 glasses of water everday. Still, i havent dropped a single pound. I am six weeks out, and i give up. 7 lbs in six weeks, with no cheating. I seriously give up. I didnt drop a single pound post op. I feel so stupid because i am self pay. 16000 dollars is a huuuuuuge amount of money. My only positive is that only hubby knows about the surgery. Please dont think im hear to whine. I just dont know what to do. Even excercise hasnt helped. Please someone guide me, because i give up.
