Why am I still not happy?!

I've been hungry for almost two weeks now. Strike that, four weeks - I want to make sure to count the pre-op diet. I have lost 17 lbs. I am just sad. Worried that this is not going to work. This is my last chance - if the lapband doesn't work I am doomed to wear this fat suit the rest of my life. I don't have any real reason to think this will not work. Like most of life's problems, it is all in my mind.

I thought the same thing. My doc and nutrisionist told me it would work if I worked it. I have taken their advise and so far its working. I had the surgery January 7th and I have lost a total of 53 lbs. Just listen to your doc and eat right. Here is the rule 30-20-30; wait 30 minutes before you eat, after you drink; eat for only 20 minutes and then wait 30 minutes before you drink again. It has saved me.
