11 months into lap band

I have lost quite a bit of weight in the first months after surgery getting to 205 from 287 however i injured my back was put on steroids and cant exercise now im back up to 225 and not happy. I am not able to digest much only seems like unhealthy foods stay down. Anyone else going through this frustration?

Steroids will cause weight gain. If you can only eat unhealthy foods are you too tight? Discuss it with your surgeon.

It is VERY difficult to lose weight while on steroids if not impossible. Discuss your options with your Doc and tell him what's going on.

I have been stuck at 270-280 for a few months now. Coming down from 350, still is upsetting to be stuck. I think I have not lost anymore because I have not paid attention to what I am suppose to be staying away from. A couple of months ago I was able to get down to 250 but gained 20 back and that was due to eating chips and more cruchy stuff. That hurt my band and made it impossible for me to keep anyhting down. I finally went in and had some liquid removed. I have been going back and forth. I cant stand the pressure I feel and the pain I have. Sometimes it feels like I cant even breath. Then a few days go by and I feel a little better. Does this happen to you at all?
