Hi Shelly, I read your comment to Gregnir and I just wanted to give a bit of support to you! This band will work if you let it and you really have to listen to it and get your fills or really they are called adjustments on a regular basis. I have a great Doctor who allows me to be the judge of when I need a fill. If I find that I am starting to eat more then my cup of food at eating time then I call and get the adjustment that I need. I have only been banded for 6 weeks and I have now had two adjustments. It sometimes takes 6-8 adjustments before you get to where to are loosing regularly. I hope that you will not give up and that you will get back to having the LB help you! Good Luck! Cheryl

Failure? Plz I have you beat and I'm not proud. Banded 10/04 and 5/09 I am 6 lbs under where I started w/2 fills ever! Wow...can I actually start over??? -
Some of us are not bitching. We have not been as successful...do we just give up? Or can we start over? I'm happy for you....very. I've felt a loss of 25 and w/out fills and maintenance have gained most back. Do I give up? Or can I start over? Mind over matter. Takes some of us longer to "get it" and shouldn't blame anyone else. But I didn't come here to "bitch" or "moan" afterall I choose to put the food in my mouth and sit in my car 2.5 hours a day (commute to work) and another 8 hours on my butt (at my desk answering the phone).... do I quit or can I start over? Banded in 04.....2 fills in 5 years....15 lbs lost. 215/200 What to do? What to do?

Thank you for the welcome. As far as the ???'s regarding counting calories etc...no...I haven't counted much of anything. Actually - I have not had a fill in over a year and a half. Toooo long. Basically, I have just decided to start over and make myself a priority. I have three kids and the best husband in the world - a great job, we have finally moved back "home" near the beach - and it is just time. Yesterday after finding this site I found and made an appointment for my first fill in forever...in Santa Barbara on May 4th. I am getting ready! Thanks for the encouragement!! Shell

Starting "Today" all over again - Wed 4/11/07
Shellybssa commented on Shellybssa's blog entry in Shellybssa's Journal
It is 9:02 and I have had one cup of coffee. I am deciding whether or not I am going to eat. One bowl of cereal or take a pill or a liquid shake. I love food and I need to learn how to eat food that matters. My throat is sore. I weight 212 pounds. Last night Steve said he wanted me to get checked and was happy that I found a DR in SB. He is the best husband. But what kind of wife am I if I can't attempt to get to my old self? I would have a hard time if I wasn't attracted to him - He must have a hard time if he is not attracted to me...it works both ways and I need to remember this. I know he won't say it but I am sure he thinks it. So here is to the first day of starting over. 215/212/155 -
