Hi, all I was surfing the internet today as being depressed because I can't keep anything down. I was banded 4/28/2006 and I have only lost 45 lbs. I have another 70 to lose. I had my band opened because of this once before and had lost 70 but gained back 25. I am not sure if I do not eat right and I know I dont get enough exercise. I actually hate this thing, but know that if it is gone I will gain all my weight back and more. Today I ate a loose scrambled egg and it would not stay down. The "fur" ball brings it right back. (sorry for being graphic) I would be happy for 1 lb a week right now. I am lucky to get 1 lb a month. I have a lot of stress right now, old parents will be moving where I live, and I have to go do it all no other children. Very stressful job. I think with all this I must be inflaming the stoma. Sorry to go on and on, just needed to vent. My other lap band group just harps pick up your boot straps and eat right. THanks for letting me vent.:regular_smile:
