WHY IS NOTHING WORKING!
UGGGGG< I'm so Pissed off at my self, I feel Pathetic, I should be happy, right I'm 10 pounds away from having lost 100 but you know what i feel, fat, ugly, and any other hurtful words we tell are self's. I have stopped losing weight, I go to the Gym 5 days a week. I have gone down to 1200 calories a day (or try too,) and nothing is working now, I'm fed up with this. I need to lose another 90 pounds to blow my family away when i see them in July, I feel like I'm failing them. everyone says i look so good but there just saying it to make me feel good, it doesn't it make me feel Awkward, like I'm obliging to tell them something and and and I'm not strong to say no to some candy, why why do I feel like shite when I should be so proud that Ive dune so good.

Anyone not doing as well as they would like?
Im in the same spot as you, when i first get a fill, i droped 20 pounds fast, like 2 weeks fast now its been a long strugle to get the next 10 pounds off, I now know i need another fill as I have stoped losing. It sucks looking at the fact that so many are saying o i have droped this much or that much and you just sit there not doing anything.

No more truffle shuffle :(
I feel the same too, I have lost over 100 and I still feel supper fat. I still see me as that 300 plus girl who was never thin in her life. I know I will feel fat tell its a gone and I have a tummy tuck as I have the skin apron and the Muffen top above that, and tell i see that hour glass shap, I will fill fat.

*sigh* O the Season is here for over eatting even for us who are banded, Today and Yesterday we got droped off a Crap ton of Chacolate and Though I dont eat a lot of it, they had my Very favorit Kind! * O NO!* So when i thought I was 20 pounds away from having lost 100 ...lets just say I'm fearful to go on the scales. What is it about food and being happy? Anfd where the hell did my will power go to? anyone got some tips for not diving head first into the Blissful season of over eating?

Info and some fun!
Hello Ya'll Well I'm new to this site and I found it cuz I was looking for a support group in my locale area, I have been with out one since i got the Lap Band last March, 6 . I went down to Mexico to get it and I have to say I love my Dr. Dr Kuri is one of the best Dr I have ever meet and thats saying a lot from me who works with dr a lot. I got this dune Because I have been heavy all my life and I didnt want to keep sitting in the shadows of my friends who where smaller then me. Both my Grandmother (who had her tummy stapled as one of the first Stomach surgery) and my Mother (who had the gastric sleave) supported me and helped me , even when others didnt. I love having them both there when I freak out over something or just get fed up with not loosing as fast as I want too. But I wanted to talk to someone my own age, and thats why I'm here to read whats going on with everyone els and see how we are the same and not. So now you have the Basic Info on me I have some good news Last night I went out with My Grandparents to one of there friends Christmas partys, I was nice but my Band is supper small right now , so I didnt know if I cud have anything as somedays I can eat a lot and others I cant keep anything down. But I went fine. I even had chocolate for the first time in a month (a very painful month if you get the hint) all was great! But it gets better I wanted to go hang out at the bar and see if anyone would hit on me (they didnt the bar sucked and I left after only one drink) but I when into freadmyers ( up scaled walmart here in WA) and was looking at some really cute clothing, All of it fit! I was so shacked cuz hafe of it was a 1x and I have never in all my memories eve been in a 1x, so a got some clothing even though I know in a few months it will not fit anymore I didnt care, I looked and felt soo good. I was even jumping up and down in the changing room =) even if no one hit on me last night it was still a very good one!

1st fill question
Hmmmm this makes me wounder, I have just had my first fill too, on the 17 of Nov, The ride back was fine, drank down to glasses of OJ with out a problum, came home an cuz I had nothing all day ,tryed to eat something, it came right back up. for the next week i was living off of ice cubes cuz anything more then that would come up and still have a hard time with it as of today 2 weeks out. Now I can drink more but only after 2 to 3 houre of being up and out of bed. I can take mouthful of Water now and not hurt for the next 3 houres and even tried some refried Beans. Now i'm kinda woundering if my band is slowly going to open and I will need to get another fill or is it stuck like this and I'm going to need to get some out ? (and not any time soon I am loving the 25 pounds I have lost)

I love this, it so nice to finally talk(read) about people who have the Band who are my own age! I had a great ones this last few months. My grandmother and mom both have had the band dune and they keep telling me how good I’m looking and it showing in my face, well I finally found the pic’s of me on the day of my sugary and omg look like a blotted cow! my face is so much smaller now. I still have a lot to go and am looking forward to when I have lost 100 pounds only 22 to go for that! This summer my cousin and I when shopping and she loves old navy, I dreaded it cuz nothing fits , well I take that back cuz now it dose I have gone from a size 28 to 20 and am almost at 18! I went out with my good friend Heather and she is one of toughs truly beautiful girls who all the guys drool over, most of the time I sit back and watch everything that happens cuz most of the time I enjoy it but I also hated being the one in the background there just for supporting the "pretty girl" well this time a guy came and started to flirt with me and not her, now he was not my type and need the lap band too but it felt nice not being over looked.

Excess Skin
I'm there with you, I'm 24 now but i got it last year. my mom and grandmother who are both banded say i'm younger so my skin bounces back more. Going to the gym will help out a lot but in the end you may need some skin removed.

I'm new to this in a some what old way
Hay Everyone, I'm Morgan,I'm 24 I had lap band Since March and since then I have Some Problums with it or more with me. I got a Job to go work at Yellowstone Nat Park in Wy. I had a Great summer up there but Before I went I tried to get my first fill and they used me as a pin pusher, it hurt so much I ran out of there with out a fill, off I went to YNP and had a grand old time. Now I'm back in Wa and have just got'n back from my first fill form my Dr in Mexico. Dr Kuir who I love! Sweetess Dr in the world. I'm having Problums With the fill, you see I'm still having Problums drinking things and if I drink andthing more then a sip i cant keep it down. I love that I'm losing so much so fast , its great but my bigesst problum is I want food. over the summer I didnt have any problum. I can have everything only in smaller amounts, bread, rice, pizza anything and now I still want it. it's to the point even reading about some one eating is making me hunggry. hmmm I probubly should of read someother intro's to see what I should put her but o well, I dont have a Support group and would love some feed back. Thanks Morgan
