Unfourunately, I can not kick the habits of sweets...My bodycraves sweets no matter how much i resist, I need something sweet during the day. I am approaching my one year anniversary and I will be the first to say I have done terrible. I just need to find something that will detox my body of the cravings. I dont have any restriction because I am afraid of the fills.Everytime I get a fill it's an overfill and I just simply feel miserable. Regrouping myself

I havent had a fill since june actually got an unfill ...TOday I cant eat or drink it actually hurt.l am romoving all fluid early tomorrow

How much should I be able to eat in one meal...Should i remove this fill. SO confused with this band

I feel I am to tight.I can barley drink anything without taking baby sips.. I havent eaten a meal in about a month. I would say I get 1/2 cup of food down and feel it sitting in my chest. Have not lost any weight and just feel miserable. I called to get an unfill because I do not feel this is normal. I am going take my chances of doing it without being miserable. If I am stressed or really not feeling stress nothing will go down. I heard that if you are to tight you will not lose any weight?

Hi, We can motivate each other.. I find myself struggling terribly. I hate being fat but have not mastered the sucess of my band. Having a busy life easily puts you off track. Try to plan as I am doing. I am doing a 30day no crabs nothing but Water and see my ends results on August 11. Good Luck we will have sucess ...Good luck

Hi, I am in Jacksonville I was banded November 2010 ... Would love to share thoughts of the band

Dave I am in rethink mode...lol I have caused this on myself by not changing fully in my eating habits. My thought process was I can have little and it will be ok but I see their is not truth to that in my results. I really want to be sucessful in this and I think I want it more now than I did when I got the band. Congrats to you ..You have done Awesome!!

Goal 40lbs by November ...Can it be done?

Wow...This confirms that I am failing big time. I need the help of others to see i am my own downfall...Thank you for sharing. I am definately going to get this right. Not so sure on the food and Proteins..I guess here and there but try to make the best decisions. I want to reach a goal of 65 lbs by November. I have to do this for myself.

November Bandsters.... How many have reached their goal? I am feeling stuck in the same place and helpless. Need a boost and support

Sorry to hear that ..My doctor explained it to me in those exact words..He actually did a visual of my band being filled and that alone gave me a new outlook on whats happening in the inside..Its hard for me to take a big bite of any food but can eat sweets easily..I really hate that part about myself but working extremely hard to change mindset..Good luck !!

Surprised of the comments.. Dr C is a truthful person most obese people dont like to hear the truth to why they are obese. If you are a person who can not accept the truth dont see Dr. C..... Yes Baptista is gone but can not provide the sevices as Dr. C because he dont have all the credentials (confirmed by insurance company) Nevertheless I believe both are good doctors... Pinnar love him... Dr.C stay booked so he can't be that bad...Took excellent care of me!!!

Down 35lbs...Exercise 3-4 times aweek and making much better food choice...Any ideasthat I can use to get better results.... I plan to be down 100lbs by November.

Havent been on the site in while... Since my last unfill the first of february I have been living like a free bird..lol I WAKE daily with the intentions of doing what's right but can not resist the temptations of sweets. I went to get a fill 2 weeks ago and because I said I was not making great food choice but still could not eat a large plate of food the clown felt I didnt need a fill.... Well i really took notice to my eating habits after leaving an I can eat a plate of food and some... Now that requires a fill... Nevertheless I should be able to control my outcome without a fill, so I am vowing to start fresh and get it right. I beating myself up with the mindset dieting still ... How can I live the rest of my life worrying about everything i eat..I am a prisioner to my body:(

Hi Fran Believe me I understand about the money for WW I was thinking of doing it on my own with a couple of friends for motivation. I really need the extra boost. I am not 100 yet been resting for the last three weeks but plan on returning to work Monday. If I can get my body to stop aching I will be a ok..Thank you for asking

Wow you have done excellent...I wish I had your will power

Thank you so I am glad I am not alone with the thought. I need the motivation and I am bored with the same boring foods... I know Weight Watchers produce results if followed correctly.
