Hey everyone.
I got banded in July. By the time it was August, I had lost 20 pounds. I was 235 lbs.
I went for a fill in September and they said I gained 5 pounds. Now I was 220.
I went back in November for a fill again then they said my weight was the same - 220.
I went back in January and I was the same weight yet again - 220.
I went in today and I'm the same damn weight - 220.
Why am I not losing weight?
I am doing my best with eating right. I do go to the gym ... I just don't get it.
The doctor says I need a few more adjustments before I can really lose weight. He promised that I'll lose weight as long as I keep eating right and exercising.
Does anyone have tips? Is it true that you can not be losing or gaining weight? I'm just stressed out over this.
