Hello Bandsters, I wasw banded in December 2010. I made it from a size 22 to a 10. Lost about 75 lbs but gained 15 and cant seem to lose them again. HELP... I have been stuck at this weight for the past 6 months going up and down a few pounds. I am really discouraged and I find that I am gaining inches like I'm drinking water. This cycle is causing me to really get depressed and self medicate.. Has anyone else had this issue? Please help me as I don't know what to do. I'm getting looks from people now that are like you're fat again. The look of I knew you wouldn't do it. When I was a size 10 I got comments like "you're too little,You're a little brief..." Now I just get the yuck looks and asked so when are you going back to your doctor. My EX, when he was my present, said his guys were making comments about me gaining weight.. Well he didn't stand up for me and had the nerves to tell me.. He then dumped me for a former fatty who is small now..Talk about wowww... I'm trying to hold it all together.Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get back on track..I don't want to go back to 22's.

Thank you Zinhaa and Farmgirl for your replies. I have seemingly even frustrated my doc with this up and down thing. I will re-group and re-focus my energy. I appreciate your replies.

Today I saw a old friend who on first sight said.... Ewwwww you look sick. I have had this happen from 2 men I dated prior to my surgery and the current man in my life said if I lose another pound I will be too little for him. Mind you I'm 177lbs... and wear a 10/12. I did come from a size 22 but damned maaannnnnnn. I'm beginning to have issues related to this. I can't see myself like others see me, nor did I see myself as others saw me when I was a size 22. I was in denial then, maybe I'm in denial now??? Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

THanks Crecia!!!

Gatorgal, I am so glad to read your post.. I have been stuck for a few weeks and it's really discouraging. I know it will change soon but I guess I want the numbers to go away now!!! I know it didn't happen overnight but I'm working out hard and just want to see my results.. Your post really was what I needed to read at this time.:biggrin:
