I was banded on may 1, 2012. I have lost 28 pounds. I do not feel so successful because I feel that I have too many days of not eating healthy. I just had my 2nd fill and I definitely have restriction. I just keep making poor choices and I'm depressed about it.

So after taking a bite of my daughters hot dog today and knowing I shouldn't it got stuck. I was banded may 1 and this was my first experience with something like this. I immediately threw up. For a few hours after that I kept throwing up a clear foamy slime. Now it's 7 hours later and if I even take a sip of Water I spit up this clear slimy foam. Has anyone ever had this happen

Mis73 please give a few tips. It seems you have been very successful.

I was banded on may 1 and I am losing weight very very slowly and I know it's because of my issues. I have yet to cut out things I know I shouldn't be having. It's an addiction. I know what I want to do for myself but sometimes it's just so hard.

I was banded may 1. I have my bad days and my good days. I still feel I need to stay focused on a more strict diet

Try to keep yourself busy. When I'm on liquids there are some nights I have to go to be early just not to deal with not eating. It's very hard. Stay positive!

That is amazing !! Good for you. I was banded on may 1 and I have lost 20 pounds. I would like to lose 150 total. You are an inspiration

Prop yourself up with pillows! My port is on my left side so I slept on my right side and hugged pillows

I was banded on may 1. I am down 15 pounds. I am having my first fill next week. I am super excited because I have no restriction and can eat anything!!!!

I will be having my first fill next week. I had my surgery may 2. The first two weeks I lost 15 pounds. I have not lost since. I have no restriction at all and it is so depressing. I feel it's hard to stay on track. If a fill will make things work for you I say do it.

I don't want to be a fat mom I want to not worry if I will fit comfortably In a chair I want to buy nice clothes I want to be healthy I want to have more energy I want to not worry when someone is taking my picture

I am the same! 3 weeks since and I feel like I have no band. Also feel hungry all the time! Over the weekend I downloaded the app lose it. Seems to be keeping me on track. It's so hard. I need some restriction! Def know how you feel.

I was banded on the first and having the same issues! It is very hard

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it!

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks for me. I feel like I can eat anything the last week. I feel a little pit of control the last few days. In the first two weeks I lost 15 pounds. Now here I am hungry and making poor choices which depresses me.

I feel the same way. I am 3 weeks out and I feel hungry and I can eat anything!!! They haven't even talked about a fill yet!!! This is hard

Don't beat yourself up about it. The hardest thing I have faced in my life is losing weight. Just because we have bands isn't going to make it easier. You can do it! Just make up your mind and move forward. We will all have weak moments!!!

I am facing the same issues! I haven't had a fill yet and I am feeling hungry at various times throughout the day!

The dr told me if I am losing they will hold off on the fill. They didn't even mention a fill!!!

Hot tea helped me a Lot!!! Walking helped as well. In a few days you will feel so much better. I used a heating pad for my shoulder!

Was banded on may 1, all went well the last two weeks. I found my appetite increased the last two days. I am very nervous about that because my dr has not scheduled me for a fill yet. This was a big decision for me to make. I don't want to be a failure

I have two Maltese. I was banded on may 1st. They totally know when something is up. They were laying by my side while I was home!

I felt better with camomile tea

Sometimes if I drink too fast or take too big of A bite I feel the same way! Sleep it off. Tomorrow is a new day! We will all have moments of weakness!

I had to have my dr look. I am 8 days out of surgery and my dr put me on antiobiotics two days ago. Be careful. If you think infection go see your dr
