I can only imagine your frustration.. Keep your head up.. the speed bumps along the way are nothing compared to the big picture. You will get there.. I promise!

Don't do the PIZZA! Not a good idea to use food as a Reward.. That has been the one habit I struggle to break.. Oh I ate good today so I can have just one cookie - or whew rough day a bowl of icecream would be great. How about a nice spa visit - pedicure would be a great way to enjoy the new you. New purse or shoes are always nice too. Congrats on reaching your goals... Celebrate the "New" You!

Surgery on Wednesday back to Work on Monday.. Office Job.. No problem.. I was a little tired for about a week..

Hello all. I was banded 7/27 too... Weight loss has been slow.. very slow but my second fill - last Thursday has been great.. I have lost 5 lbs already. I think I just needed a good fill to get me on the right track.. 33 pounds total lost but feeling 100% better and enjoying life so much more. Good luck to everyone.. Only 13 more pounds till I hit the 100's.....

I had surgery on Wed and they also found a hernia in my stomach. Went to work that Monday... a little sore for about a week but it was not bad at all.. Good luck..

This also happened to me. I actually was getting quite nervous because I couldn't even see my phone to dail numbers. My sister thought it was a side effect to the pain medicine. My surgery was on a Wednesday and my eye sight begin to improve on Sunday.. back to normal within 7 days.. Not sure what causes it but I do feel better knowing it wasn't just me.. Best of luck, Anna Marie

I was banded a week ago 7/27 - lost 8 lbs pre-op and now I am down a total of 15 lbs. Scale hasn't moved in the past two days and I was starting to get nervous. Think I will stop weighing everyday! Great job everyone.. We can do this!

I sooooo agree with you. I have surgery in the morning and the only person that knows is my husband. My mom had Gastric bypass surgery a few years ago and my sisters were very judgemental. (of course they are the skinny ones in the family) I mainly kept quiet and only wished her to be healthy.
