  1. I feel like such a loser

    · pointbeach · 07/15/10 01:24 AM

    I blogged for the first time last night. that I hve had the band for two years and I have failed my band, I just thought it was going to magically take away my weight with me not haveing to do anything. My life got real real crazy for a year,now things have calmed down and I am focused on myself and restarting eating right, slowly and all the things we are suppose to do. Anyway I went to a lapbnd support group my surgeon has been having and I felt like such loser. I am the only person who not only did not lose weight I gained back the weight I lost right before surgery. Most people there had lost 25 or more pds and they have had the band less then me. I left there felling like such a loser and wanting to eat.But I didnt. Iwish I didnt beat myself up so bad but I do. My whole life I have failed at weight loss nd now I cant believe I have filed at this too.I ws not like this last night I was in such better place I dont know why seeing people who have lost weight vs blogging people has had such a bd reaction to me. Anyway thanks for letting me share this.
    My stomache has been hurting alot too my Dr keeps saying its not the band but he finally said I can get an upper GI. thanks for letting me vent
  2. I never have blogged before. This site is great. I have been going to threads,I am still learning the difference, and alot of good threads are not active anymore.
    I have had the band for two years. I lost 15lbs right away but then stopped losing weight.I really thought the band was going to be a magic switch that was going to just take away my desire to binge or eat foods that put the pounds on.Anyway I never committed to the band and the rules for making it work.I just thought having it was enough.Also and this is a big also My life got really stressful after I got the band my husband got really really ill and I was mother father and evrything else. No time for me. So now things are much calmer my kids are more independant and I have time for me. I saw my doctor today for the first time in over a year. And I am going to see the nutitionist next week for a whole new beginning. I know I can do this if I work it the way it is suppose to be worked. I love reading your blogs and wish me luck Mary
