- it has give has left me feeling really vulnerable. I've realised that I have to find other ways to deal with negative emotions. I've taken a really big step and sought out a therapist to try and sort myself out. To make sense of why I've been abusing myself with excess food consumption. I am feeling a lot better about things. One day I will write 'my story' but I'm not ready yet. But I'm finding inspiration from everyone on this site and It gives me the stren...

-why are YOU fat? And it confirms to me that there is a whole psychological thing going on, e.g traumatic events in the past etc. it made me take a deeper look at my self, and as I can no longer stuff down my past with food

I love lbt. As someone who refuses to go to my hospital support group, lbt is keeping me sane! It's so nice to read about everyone's different experiences. I have been very interested in the thread

hi i had my band put in in march 12. ive had 3 fills. (the 1st 2 did nothing) i have a bit of restriction now. my last fill was 2 months ago, yet the last 2 weeks im struggling to get food down.is this normal? i dont think its the band. food seems to get stuck between the point of swallowing and reaching my stomach. i have to quit eating.i either wait along painful time for it to go down or i have to be sick. its like my oesophagus goes into lockdown. its especially embarrassing if in the company of others coz nobody knows ive got a band. im sure a couple of friends think im bulimic.i'm not. i would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same?? why does it happen? and is this all just part of the band thing?

is it possible that the more weight you lose the tighter you're band can become???????? my last fill was over 2 months ago, felt restriction but it seems to be getting more and more. has anyone else experienced this? is it all good or should I be worried? would be very grateful for replies x

congrats on your weight loss! nobody apart from my hubby knows I've got a band. no one at work had said anything about my weight loss. I think that they are so used to me losing weight then putting it back on again that they dare not comment!! I've been saying like 'oh I don't half feel the cold since I lost some weight' then they'll say ' yeah you can see it in your face and everywhere' which is nice. But I bet they are expecting me to put it all back on again. Well, not this time!! I also believe that some people would like you stay fat so that your the 'fat friend' that makes them look better! Well, i WONT be your 'fat friend' anymore! ha ha that's it, rant over!! x

I am fat because when it comes to food, I don't possess self control. yeah I could be on a diet and lose a couple of stone. But then I could have a stressful day at work and all i'd want to do is say" f*** it let's have a few beers" then order a massive takeaway!! (my husband is easily led in this! but he's not overweight) I still want to do this but now I physically can't. this band is the only thing in the whole world that will stop me from overeating. it is my saviour! sometimes I get frustrated when my husband is sitting there with a huge pizza covered in mayo (it smells so good!) and i'm sitting there with my soup! but after I think 'i'm glad I couldn't eat that now, all those calories!! the way I feel about food is changing.. i'm now eating to live, not living to eat. it's been tougher than I thought and I've got a way to go but i'm very excited about the future and the new, slimmer, happy me I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!

where would i be if it wasn't for porridge? lol i think ive hit the 'sweet spot'.. but how do you know???
-
porridge pots are great, just add boiling water! keeps you full for a good while and low fat. If you are really hungry you can add half a chopped banana to it, yummy x

thanks guys. I must have irritated my stomach I think. going to be very careful for next few days or weeks. it will be the first time ive ever LOST weight over Christmas!!! long may it last x

hi I am experiencing the same kind of thing. my last fill was 2 months ago. I felt restriction but not a great amount. ive now lost 52lb and my band feels tighter. I can only eat soup, porridge or mashed foods. im just wondering if its possible that the more weight you lose the tightness of the band can increase? seems strange to me.. would appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks x

hi i was banded in march this year. i'd fogotten about the angst before hand. i'm sure everyone feels anxious before their surgery. on the count down to my surgery i was a wreck. 50% totally excited about my new life and 50% terrified something would go wrong. and on the day it was hell coz my op wasnt til 8.30pm and all i could have was water!! all i can say is i have no regrets. would i do it again? 10 times over. i felt a bit selfish getting a loan to pay for it, but why? im the one paying it back. its only money and money cant compete with quality of life. its an investment on your healthy future! best of luck to you x

I Dont Know What To Do
kassie2012 replied to knknosmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi,at first i thought he was scared for you having surgery. but then i felt that he just sounds incredibly insecure. men dont really like change. some very insecure men like to keep their women overweight so no other men will look at them. at the end of the day youve got to do this for yourself. if he can't deal with that, its his problem.. be strong and do what's right for you.. go for it!! x
