Congradulations to you. I was banded two years ago. I know I haven't done what should be done to loose weight. I'm scheduled for a fill next week. I'm really to ashamed to go. I've lost a total of 40 pounds. I'm copuld really use some encouragement from you all.

Yes I've had this to happen to me several times. If I eat meat (beef) this happens and also rice. I've had to eliminate rice from my diet totally. I've found that if you eat slowly putting the fork/spoon down and chew until the food is liquid or very soft this will help a great deal.

I though I could lose without multiple fills. I know now that I can't. I've tried to set goals that didn't work. So I'll be getting a fill this week and will keep you all posted on my progress.

:mellow:I had my lapband done in August of 2007. I've had one fill and that was in November. I really thought I could lose a substantial amount of weight without another fill. It just didn't work out. I can take in a lot of food. The only difference is that if I eat fast I will gag and vomit. (very unpleasent). I will have another fill this Wednesday. I will try to work very hard on portion controll. I was down 33 pounds. I know I have gained at least 7 back. I feel like a total failure. Any suggestions/words of encouragement from anyone.

I'm a slow loser as well. I was banded August 2007. I was down 30 pounds. It's extremely hard trying to lose even with the band. I've had one fill and that was last november. I will be having a fill done this Wednesday. I'll keep you posted.

Get rid of the snickers. You won't eat just one you'll eat the entire bag. Think of the rewards that you'll get a little later like good/improved health etc.
