I am replying again. I am experiencing more problems. I have the last week I have had heartburnt o the point that the prilosec and taking 2 extra tums does nto help and also the shoulder pain after I eat and that is when I am able. i am having a hard time with that now again.

I am from Ashley Michigan and I was banded Spetember 27, 2007.

I was banded on September 2007 and I have had those days that I don't think that I am doing right. I still have struggles with foods like chicken today I can eat it and have no problems but then tomorrow I can eat it and it will not settel. I just tell myself hang in there and it will get better. You will find things that you will and will not be able to eat and it is okay to call someone for advise. I know I wonder at times on if I need to eat this and sometimes it is okay to eat a treat to treat yourself. HANG IN THERE AND THE FEELINGS WILL GET BETTER :P:( :sad:I'm having a hard time right now. I was banded on June 1tth and I ahve lost weight but I just don't feel like i am doing this right. I do typically beat myself up or expect too much of myself. I just don't want to be a failure at this. In the department of support I have hardly any positive help or encouragement. There is only a support group meeting in my area once a month and i won't be able to attend the one on July 2nd because I will be out of town. I feel like a bother calling the surgery center lady all the time. Like Oh god it's you again. I don't know what to eat or i feel like what i am eatting is all wrong. I have been working so hard up to this point and i feel like I don't know what to do next. I think i should be losing more and i'm not. i keep a food diary and its very honest. Oy! I don't know. Any suggestions would be very helpful and appreciated!!! XOXO Barbie

I had surgery September 2007 and I am doen about 45-50 pounds and I started out bad too and just hang in there. I was very upset to think why did I do this if I am not able to eat anything at all? I hung in there and all my problem was that they were filling too much and when I went back in I only had them fill me 1/2 cc and I am doing much much better. I want to let you know to hang in there and things will get better. :thumbup::sad:
