Why did I gain weight

Hello to you all,

I was banded on 8/26/10, and have currently lost 72 pounds, however, since today is my weigh in, I went to weigh myself and gained 1 1/2 pounds. I am very disappointed and cannot understand where I went wrong. Do any of you that have been on this journey longer than me, have been through this. Thank you.

    I also started gaining weight. I had my band in Dec of 2009 and i lost 75 lbs after having several fills. now I have moved from NY and can't afford the $250 they want for a fill here in Washington. I can eat anything except steak or bread..anything that swells in my esophugus. but I can eat an entire bag of popcorn or a alarge meal. You probably need a fill, like me. I know I am not eating right and wish i could get a fill too!!! Good Luck

    i wouldnt worry about 1 1/2 lbs.your weight will fluctuate due to Water retention,now if you gained 5 lbs then i would worry.
