  2. Celebrating my bandiversary today! At this time one year ago, I was scared to death about to go into surgery. One year later and 83 pounds lighter and feeling SO much better! Only wish I'd done this many years earlier. If you're on the fence at all, go for it! It will change your life for the better!! :)

  8. Need some motivation...... Feeling defeated :(

    1. Mikee57

      Mikee57

      we all feel this way sometimes...you need to kick yourself back into gear though...you have come this far...don't give up on yourself. I was feeling this same way a few weeks ago. I had to get my head around that we all lose differently and if I wanted to be on the losing end I needed to stick to MY routine...not everyone else's. So hang in there you can do this...you are not defeated you are invincible you are Woman!!! LOLRH...now go out and do something good to make yourself feel better other than food!!! OKAY? Take care!

  12. feeling very depressed. Since I mve from mushies to solids, I have not lost. In fact I have gained a few pounds. Im ready to throw the towel in. Thinking this wasnt the right WLS for me :(

      dlamp112 that is really normal to tell you the truth for some of us...I am out 5 mths now from my lap-band surgery and the weight loss is slow. I was just told at my last appt that for some until that band reaches it Green Zone it is merely us being really aware of portions, eat slowly so our minds catch up with our tummies and chew chew chew. I put an app on my phone called eat slowly and it has helped me slow down my eating. Although I am not losing like others I am losing about 4 lbs between fills. So please don't get discouraged...it will get better I promise. Let me know if you need anything else okay? Take care!!!
