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.
