gaining weight

I had the lap band in Oct. 2007 and did great.  I lost 115# in a short amount of time and had only a couple fills.  This summer I was vomiting daily and had reflux and had to get an unfill.  I immediately gained 14#!!  I had a fill and have felt little restriction since then and was told to keep a food diary and then see the nurse prac. who does the fills.  Well keeping a food diary is very hard for me and of course I am eating the wrong foods.  So when I can keep the diary for 2 weeks I can then go into the office.  I feel I need a fill but no diary = no fill!  Anyway anyone else having this issue?  I am exercising but it is hard not to eat between meals.  I do not feel full.  I am drinking my water too and it isn't helping.  I feel like a failure, but however my eating problems have been with me probably since birth!  You would think after almost 2 years of eating little food it would be no problem but it itn't.  Any words of wisdom?  I will keep trying to keep the diary and hopefully things will click.  All of my old feelings have returned and I am again FAT!  Thanks!

Your not alone, don't ever let them tell you it is your fault.  These surgeries are not one size fits all and we are seeing more and more people gaining weight.  What to do about it, once I figure it out, I'll tell you!  Don't every say you are a failure, you are not, you wouldn't have lost #115 if you were.  A lot of the dr will try to convince you that it is all your fault and make you feel like a failure.  Look at this site, there are more people that regain than don't.  If you feel you can't lose the 14 you've gained, try extremely hard to not gain anymore.    Can they do anymore fills?  Keep on them, that is there job and you are paying them to take care of you.  Good luck, and keep your head up, your did a wonderful job!!  :)
