The title says it all.. I have been stalled for over a month. almost 6 weeks to be exact. But I am happy, I have did so well so far... and I dont wanna end the Journey, before it really begins. Holidays are just not kind, so much good food, and parties, and not keeping count of calories. Also, I need to get to the gym, I told myself, when I got below 300, I would start going.
Why am I not going? Its close to the house, My kids are in school for 4 hours in the morning daily, I have the time. But no motivation. I went thru my closest, got all the 5x tops and size 32w jeans out of there. Huge contractor bag full sitting on the floor of my room. ( I did keep 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants to remember). Still nothing.
I went to Macys and got a 2 pairs of size 24 jeans. and 2-3x tops. I actually bought clothes at a real store. Not on line. I had all my old clothes, I could not wear that I can actually wear now. I just kept them in my closet, wishing one day I would be able to wear, Now I can.
I keep telling myself, Lets wait until the new year, and start fresh. But I fear I will fail this too.
I went and had another fill on Dec 4, He only put in 1/2 cc. But I dont feel any difference in my eating. Not feeling full really.
Anyways I am done venting. I know what I need to do, Just have to follow my own advice..
Start over and get my Ass back in gear...

I've only been banded for a week but it seems when I eat it kind of hurts around the port area is this normal?
also how long before any of you had your first fill?

Your welcome...Valentine shows videos of the actual procedure, my husband sat there with his eyes closed while the videos were showing he can't stomach that stuff, LOL....I found it helped me to understand it further...I hope you will too.
What's you name, I'm Pattie...have a identical twin Paula, who got the bypass...i am so glad I didn't get that done...she lost 200 pounds tho, but she has all kinds of health issues...not from the surgery tho.
Good luck...I think you will enjoy Valentines seminar.

I live in Caldwell, Dr. Valentine just did my Lap Band a week ago, I go for a follow up thursday...my twin sister had dr Korn, I do not like him as well as Valentine, sorry...she had the bypass done 3 years ago she lost 200 pounds but she has a lot of health issues now....Dr. Valentine to me is a good Dr and has a great personality...he's not just out for the money as far as I can tell so far.

Hello, I'm not sure what I'm doing so please bare with me...I had my surgery a week ago and I saw somebody post that they had some pain where the port is...thank you for mentioning that because I have had some discomfort and wasn't sure if that was normal.
I know the first fill isn't til 6 weeks out but I was wondering how much did you eat once you started the full liq diet...it seems I am hungry not long after I eat is that the norm?
I don't know where I'm suppose to fill out the questions asked, so forgive me that you don't see much about me...will someone please walk me through it...thank you.
