hello all I do a lot of reading on the site and not a lot of posting. I feel like a failure after looking at all the march posts. I was banded 3-14-05 To date I have lost only 36 lbs. But I have went from a 18-20 pant size to a mostly 14 some times i need a 16. I see my before pictures and there is a big difference but i really thought i would be further along. I have one draw back. I don't like my surgon so I don't go for banding and often as i should. I am going on november 4th. I have times when there is no restriction and times like tonight we went to the mall I ordered a tostada with Beans, meat, lettus and cheese I got 4 bites but i think lettus got stuck or something and it all came up. I have only lost about 5lbs since my last fill over 2 mo ago. Well i needed to vent and talk with you all because sometimes I feel as though i don't even have a band. p.s. I am glad to know that i am not the only one on this site that struggles with soda diet or not. I have tried to come off again and i have gone 4 days. I know its better for me so i am trying. Thanks for being a great big ear for me.
