  1. I was diabetic and sleep apnea. According to the test done on my arm every month I'm not gaining muscle either. I have an inactive thyroid but take medication for it and have even had it upped a little to see if that's the problem. The diabetes and the sleep apnea are gone now but I had truly hoped to lose weight. I just can't believe that I'm the only person that this has ever happened to. I'm going to try the protein to see if that is part of the problem. Got any other suggestions?
  2. Weight was 179 now 183. I have no idea if I'm getting enough protein. Dr. and I have never discussed it. Band too tight for any kind of meat to go down except very crisp bacon if I absolutely feel the need for meat. I can and do eat peanuts. I drink instant breakfast every now and again and it says it has recommended amount of protein in it. Any suggestions?
  3. I was banded March 2007. I have not only not lost any weight, I've gained 3lbs over the past 10 months. I have been filled to the max. I don't eat much, let's be honest, I can't. I can't even eat the 4 oz portions suggested. Yes, I'm eating the right foods. I work out 3 to 5 days a week at least 1 hour to 2 hours each time. I was considered a low BMI on the lapband scale but still enough of a BMI to get the surgery covered by insurance. I'm frustrated and disappointed. Isn't there anyone out there that has had this happen? What's wrong with me?
