I am disappointed because i have had 2 fills and i can eat as much as i want as often as I want and i have never had the band to stop me from eating and that is why i got it!!! I am so disappointed need some help from those who are losing!!

As you can see I am a Newbie so anyone that has some inspiration, tips, motivation, and shared experiences would be appreciated!!! I don't feel like I am losing enough with my surgery. I am under alot of pressure because I had to pay the 12 K's for my surgery and I want to do the very best that I can!!

Patty this is the first that I have heard about the band being tighter or lose throughout the day!!! Didn't know anything about this could you tell me what you've heard and your experiences??

I went for my monthly check-up yesterday and that is exactly what my Dr. told me!! I thought I was doing the right thing by replacing a meal with slim fast drinks because I love them, but in fact, I was hungry not too much after I drank them and should have eaten an egg, turkey sausage patty and a half piece of toast. I tried that this morning and it was alot better. I really feel like I have eaten something!! Just a thought!!! I found out I was trying to make good choices and I wasn't at all. For example: My husband and I ate at Mcallisters, he ate half a sandwich and half bake potato, I ate a cup of soup. My Dr. said I should have eaten what he ate because my soup went right through me with empty calories. (meat on the sandwich without the bread) We also went to eat at my favorite seafood place, I ate a cup of gumbo, he ate a salad, fish, and shrimp. She said I should have eaten the salad and fish!!!! Needless to say I was devastated knowing I thought I was eating good and wasn't!!!!
