What fun! Love these pics!

Thank you for this post - it captures exactly what so many of us have felt and are continuing to struggle with. I only get weighed at my nurse practitioner appointments (monthly) and the last time I had gained a pound. I was devastated and actually cried in her office! All I could think was just what you said...all that money, all the pain, all the deprivation, and I'm going to fail at this, too. Then...what choice do we have? We dry the tears, get up, and simply move forward.

Thanks again for your post.

For me things began to improve after 5-6 days, and from there it just got better and better. Take the pain meds, and get a lot of rest.

I was banded in October 2011 and have been worried about this as well. However, I'm going in for my third fill this week and can't wait to see how it turns out. Throughout the whole process I have continuously heard that the weight loss can be slow and we have to be PATIENT. It helps to hear it again.
