  1. Hi Everyone:
     
    I hope this message will not encourgage anyone on how i feel. Just needed some support. Been banded since 12/16/11, almost a year has gone by. My weight lost was from 240 to 163. Now since them i have been depressed on what to eat. Its really hard for me to see someone eating a hamburger with a bun! Potatoes, squash, rich, eggs, green beans, broccoli and yorgurt are so hard for me to eat. It doesn't matter how i eat them or cut them, they just don't feel good. I had to change doctor due to moving from another state. I now weight 180 and i don't understand how i gained weight. It don't seem like i eat anything. I have been having a couple glasses of Bailey's Irish Cream! Can you believe i can drink this!
     
    There are a lost of days i ask myself why did i do this! Please give me some suggestions.
     
    Thanks,

  2. Struggling

    Hi Everyone:
     
    I was banded 12/12/11 and I have lost 71 pounds! I know it’s great, but it’s really hard for me. I have good days and then I mostly have bad days. I can't keep anything down and I feel like I want my life back. I'm missing eating (hamburgers, pasta, and rice) I can't even keep yogurt down. I currently have 5cc in my band. I can't have any potatoes which is my all-time favorite. I'm totally missing food! Believe me I eat really slow and have really little bites. Most of the time I wish I wouldn't have this done.
     
    I'm so depressed about having this surgery!
     
    We recently moved from Texas to Tennessee and finally after 3 months trying to get into a new doctor I have an appointment July 31.
     
    Please let me know if anyone is having these issues!
     
     
    Thanks,
     
    Kelly
