BEST DIVORCE LETTER EVER Dear Wife, I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. ... Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went ...

I have been banded just over a year (August 12, 2010) And have lost VERY little weight (less than 20 pounds) I actually lost more weight pre-op in the opti-slim liquid diet. I realise this is mostly my fault, I don't exercise... my band restriction is pretty good. I rarely feel "hungry" and get full quickly. Here is my problem: 80% of what I eat makes me throw up. I cannot eat bread, toast, rice Pasta, beef, chicken, even most veggies. All seem to get stuck after the 3rd or 4th bite. And it is NOT how I chew, as the Dr has suggested. I have chewed and chewed until the food turns to liquid. Still comes back. I don't think the band is too tight as this doesn't happen ALL the time, I may have 1 or 2 days a week that I can eat normally and not throw up. My BIGGEST problem is the frequent throwing up, even when I try to eat healthy, and I can't tell you how many times its happened in a restaurant and ruined my day. I get miserable. I get depressed, and then here comes the milkshake and chocolate and ice cream, because they all go down no problem! My sweet food consumption has increased like tenfold since being banded. Lucky thing I haven't gained any weight! I just don't know how I can go throw life eating only yogurt. I even threw up from eating a pear the other day... I hadn't even had half of it! I don't know whether to have a complete unfill, have the band removed, or just keep being miserable. If I gave up sweets and exercised, I'd probably starting losing again. But feeling so drepressed or all the throwing up makes it very hard to be motivated... -
is happy to see the sun shining, but it's be one of those days where I wish I could have slept all day...

Hi from Melbourne! 1 year out, not much progress....
Xandy&Zak'sMum posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi fellow banders. I was banded a year ago in August, and I am still struggling. I could really use a band buddy if anyone else can offer some inspiration and encouragement. I have not lost much weight (my fault, I know) and also struggle with frequent throwing up. It isn't everyday, I don't think the band is too tight. But I've had a hard time dealing with giving up so many foods... even healthy foods. I can no longer eat bread or toast at all, no beef unless it's mince (and then I struggle with it) no chicken cooked in any way, I don't eat fish anyway. I wasn't expecting to be SOOO limited in food choices. Sadly, I don't struggle with chocolate or ice cream and that has been my downfall. I weigh less than pre-op, but not much. Anyone else out there struggling? -
Hi! Thanks for the post.
Doing OK, weight is coming off slowly because I still have a problem with chocolate that the band doesn't fix, but at least I am losing weight. Have lost 20kg since the beginning of my journey last year. How is everything with you?
