I posted this message in the lap band forum but thought it might fit better int his forum. I have had my band for almost two-years and my weight was down from 342 to 187.  Due to the fact that I'm geting married in June and can't lose any more wieght without my wedding dress maker voiding her alterations I decided to get a slight unfill to slow down my wieght loss.  I went from 8.5 ccs to 6.5 last Friday.  My weight this morning was 212.6.  I have not eaten more than 1500 calories on any one given day.  In fact of the last 7 days on 4-days I ate 1050 calories.  Rationally and realistically speaking I know it is impossible for me to gain 26 pounds in fat but this is really hard for me to take.  I just sat down and started bawling my eyes out.  I haven't gained any wieght in almost 2-years and now I'm sitting here powerless, watching the scale go up and up.  I guess it is probably water but if I had been THAT dang dehydrated I think I would have felt really sick.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Please tell me this will level out and I can get some of this weight back off and then stabalize.  I haven't felt this emotionally out of balance in a long time.  I don't like feeling like an out of control fat girl again...

Take a deep breath, I can imagine what you are feeling as many of us have the regain fear we deal with emotionally.  I seriously doubt the gain is real......if you are indeed watching what you eat there is no way 26 lbs is real. Push the water and focus on dense protein.........journal you food, watch the carbs and call your doc if needed to see what he suggest. Best wishes on your upcoming marriage.

Do you need a new battery in your scale? Are you clothes tight? If it is a real 26 lbs gain then maybe you should get your band refilled now... Or at least to a point that will give you the ability to maintain.   ((((hugs))))) I am a RNYer so I really don't have any personal experience but I did want to give you hugs!
