Gaining weight with my recent gastric band.
Posted , 6 users are following.
So it's been 2 months and I'm up to 3.4mls and still like before I had the op. I can eat anything with no restriction and hence my weight has recently gone up a few pounds. I'd lost 6lbs in my first week but nothing since then and now I'm gaining weight.
I'm so disappointed. My hubby and I are getting another fill this week and are hoping for the best as we're in the same boat. My husband ate two massive bowls of pasta at dinner and wasn't even full after that. I'm just feeling like maybe this won't work for us and so I'm feeling so down. Everyone else is losing at this point it seems, except us.

I only have 0.5ml at each fill so took me a good 6-8 months to really notice restriction!
It will be worth it in the end x

Sorry yours is frustrating, everybody puts in different amounts in the band at a time and many people have found the right level at 5ml, rather than 8ml or more....I was warned this is the slow phase and that it is normal for between 6mth-12mths to get to the right level and for you to be loosing effectively. Stay with it and we just have to be patient for that bit longer. I have been strongly advised to eat 1/2 plate of protein, 1/4 veg next then only eat the 1/4 carb if necessary. Hope this helps. x
