ChocolateChips

I can relate a lot with everyone else in this forum ... I was banded in 2/2012... Lost 40 pounds and gained back 30 (230 lbs currently). I have had three fills. I failed my band. I love food. I love wine. I hate the gym. I stopped going to the doctor because I am so embarrassed that I have been gaining it all back. I honestly starred down a piece of chocolate cake last night, and said to myself... You are slowly killing yourself... And then ate it anyway. I know I have some issues to work out. I have just moved out of state and I planned to look for a new doctor soon, hopefully I can find my way- and a support group (I have never attended). I just wanted to post to thank everyone else whom has posted, it is such a relief to know that I am not alone. Thank you and best of luck to us all !!!!

Thanks so much guys, it is great to know that it isn't just me. I did buy the gas x stripes and they are helping... And yes walking walking walking lol. I appreciate your replies thanks so much!!

Hi all, I was banded on the 9th. Surgery was ok, terrible nausea and gas pain on surgery day and yesterday.. Today I feel great, other than I am paranoid to drink too much, scared of stretching the pouch or it just coming back up...smaaaaalll sips lol

Hello everyone. I am on my 2nd day post and I am having trouble taking in the 6.5 cups of fluid my doc recommends. Yesterday was extremely difficult because I felt gas pain every time I drank something, today I think I am just scared that it might come back up, or that I might stretch the pouch. I am alone with the difficulty of taking in this much?
