  1. I feel the same as all of you do. I got my band on July 31st and i really have only lost about 8 lbs since my band. I did loose about 18 lbs in addition to that but it was because of the liquid diet before and after the band. So i really feel like a failure.. I make the wrong choices and i do everything wrong. I had too much of a fill and i was getting sick, so i had them take some out and now i really do not have much restricion and i basically just give up. I decided to come on this site today just to take a look around since it has been so long since i checked in. I joined ww a couple of weeks ago thinking that maybe that would help but i have lost about 2lbs in 2 weeks. Still failllling. I think that I mentally i guess i just don't want it bad enough.
  2. Wow, I feel like you are writing what i am thinking. I feel better knowing that i am not the only one who wonders if this is the best decission. ANd your poll was great. I love to hear the inspirational stories. My first appointment is May 2nd. I am anxious and nervious, I have actually gained 6 lbs since making the appointment 2 weeks ago. I have been eating everything in sight because i am so affraid i will never be able to have some of the stuff again. From what i have read, it seems as though i will be able to but i will have this control switch inside of me that will not let me go overboard. I love this forum i feel better with each success story that i read.
  3. wow some great ideas... I acutally have been eating what ever i want when ever i want since i made the decission to get the band. I have my appointment with my doc on May 2nd.
