Still no restriction!

By colorado_chick

I had my third fill a few days ago. No difference still. I can't even tell I have a lap band. I think about food all the time, I'm hungry all the time, and I can still eat large portions (although I try really really hard not to). I wonder if I have failed this, too. Getting lap band surgery was my last option. Now what do I do?

 

On the bright side I have lost about 20 pounds since getting the lap band. That's good. But I haven lost any weight for a while and the fills don't seem to help. I guess I'll call the PA and see if I can get another fill and see if that helps. I can't believe how discouraged I am. This is horrible.

    losing 20 pounds is great and i dont consider that a failure and the more negative you are, the more miserable you will be..

    ...so you and band are obviously working...20 pounds is a great start..

    if you dont want that, i will take it.. :)

    if you are hungry, EAT.....eat more protein, drink more and stay busy..

    what to do now...keep pushing forward on exercising and eating better food and believe in yourself....the band wont work miracles...it will help.

    i wish i could offer more but dangit, i believe in YOU

    now you need to.

    That was the best motivational post ever!! Thank you! I am feeling less dismal today. You're right - my attitude needs to perk up a bit for this to work! Thank you!
