Hi!! I have had two fills, my latest was two weeks ago Friday. I was pretty tight, I actually threw up ( tmi sorry) twice .. I have not lost in the last week but I didn't over eat calorically I'm very careful.- Vetran Bandsters ( Question For You )
I don't eat a lot but I stop myself and am satisfied however I could do that ten times a day if I wanted to. The only time I actually have to stop is if I haven't chewed well and get stuck- Vetran Bandsters ( Question For You )

Don't get me wrong, I dont regret my decesion to get the lapband, but today is just one of those days that I struggle. Not with wanting to eat a lot but rather just to be able to eat some things I use to preband. I have successfully eat a scrambled egg, a Protein shake and some mashed potatoes. I tried ( for the first time) to eat a baked pork chop and found out quickly that it is now among the list of things I can no longer have. It's worth it because my weight loss has been steady but I just felt like venting, that's why I subscribe to this site because I am sure some of you have felt the same.. Tomorrow is a new day!

Just trust your band!! You cant live your life reading labels.. You haven't even had your first fill yet .. You will do great, trust me when you get in the green zone you will know it.!! Trust all you have learned and trust your band.. These very words come directly from my nutritionist when I was waiting for my first fill and also discouraged..! That was just a month ago and once I just started to do these things the weight has started falling off.!! Good luck, you can do this just relax and take a breath!!- Never Realized ..!
Crazy huh?- Never Realized ..!
Just how big of a role food played in my life, it seems like everything is centered around food.. Now that I don't eat much it is an adjustment I didn't think of having to make in this journey... Now I guess I just blog with you guys to fill the void.. I'm good with that!- Had Wine Tonight..
