So i went to my 2nd nutrition appt today, and gained 4 lbs! Granted it is during the final weeks of classes and finals are coming and I am a stress eater. I have been very stressed! But I have been eating healthier than ever and exercising much more than ever too. I have to admit I am having trouble keeping to te 350 cal meal/150 cal snack regimine. If I could do that easily I wouldn't need the band in the first place. When I do follow it stictly, i am starving and preoccupied about when I get to eat next. AUUUGGGHHHHH!!!

Hi there,

Are you banded? I'm banded and sometimes its hard to me to stick to calories, so if you're not banded, then I can see how hard calorie counting would be! Anyway, if you are still working out and feeling good (high energy, clothes getting loose, more upbeat, etc), then remember that your weight is just one number in the many many things that make up who you are. Keep your chin up and remember that muscle retains more water than fat and is denser, so you may be gaining in a good way.

no i am not banded yet, not for another 2 months. I am feeling pretty lousy about myself because of this, i really wonder if i can do it because i am sooooo hungry! Thanks for the reply, i makes me feel better to ven to people who have been there and understand. My 100lb soaking wet nutrionist has really no idea what it is like. By the way, i love love love Denver and want to move there someday!
