I'm not giving up at all. I just thought I wasn't normal. Everyone I talk to lost weight quickly and I thought something was wrong with me. I started my exercise program and look forward to success. Thanks for your support!

I downloaded it today. Thanks!

Thank you all so much! I'm very careful what I eat...I measure my proteins, but I'm not writing it down. I guess that's where I need to start. I've had one fill and go back on the 25th. Your advice and encouragement is very helpful. I did do my research, but it seemed that the forums I read pre-op were through rose-colored glasses. I've started my exercise program, so that coupled with proper tracking should put me on the road o wight loss. I guess we all feel that self-pity at times? Thanks again.

I had my surgey on April 13. I lost 18lbs pre-op. I lost another 12 in the post-op liquid stage. Since then, I've lost nothing. I did a lot of research and read forums beforehand. I read about people not having success. I thought they weren't doing what they should be doing. Now, I'm one of them. I guess my frustration is that if I could have lost the weight without being hungry, I would have. I paid cash for my band and I feel like such a failure. I know people who have lost over 100lbs in just over a year's time. Here I am, losing nothing. Yesterday, I started working out with a trainer, so I'm hoping to see results, but quite honestly, I'm feeling rather negative right now. Why isn't ths working for me?

Great news! Keep up the good work!

Got my first fill this past Monday. I've been on liquids and started protein today. I feel so hungry! I ate scrambled egs for breakfast and two strips of bacon. 3 ounces of turkey and lettuce for lunch. I was hoping I wouldn't be hungry between meals. Should I call my dr for more fill?

Im 2.5 weeks post-op and just hungry. I made a super bad choice and now I'm scared. I ate a few teaspoons of creamy peanut butter. I know I'm not supposed to have solids, but at the time, it sounded like a good idea. I'm scared because I feel kind of a heartburn feeling. I can swallow, but I don't want i because I don't want to create more problems. Have I hurt anything? Just afraid because I know the band isn't quite set yet. Didn't think about the weight of the peanut butter.

How do I stop this? I can't do clear anymore. It's been 4 weeks and the thought makes me want to cry. Is this normal? Obviously, I'm consuming more calories, but will the trend continue or will it level out?

I have it now. I think it's gas.

My surgeon had me get mine from bariatricadvantage.com. The vitamins are okay, but the calcium are very powdery and make me cough, even in small bites.
