AWe Teri, That's GREAT!!! Keep it up!!! Good job!!!

Hi, You can't say your a failure! If you were on your own w/out your band would you have lost 40 lbs? Would you have kept it of? I would not. Think of it that way hun! :-) We can all do this!! I have been eating around my band for about 8 months now. I feel like I am back agian. I think it really helps to plan ahead. Make sure you have your protien ON HAND ready to make good choices. Like this week I cooked a bbq meatloaf & chicken ahead & I just take 4-5 oz at each meal w/ veggies. I don't feel deprived at all. I like to use daily plate to keep track of my cals ect... HOPe this helps!

Oh no! You must feel awful about this. I hope you can work this out some how. Keep us posted hun.

YAAAy Teri!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I know you have had such a hard time! Glad your losing! What are you doing different?

Hi everyone! I have to say I'm pretty pround of myself for making through the week. This week I've been back to measuring, weighing, counting cals, & eating the right food. I feel really good. I feel like I'm REALLY back this time! I still want to fight the fight! Thanks for always listening to me complain ect.. LOL!

hi there! I know it's been awhile since your post. How are you doing? I just want to say I feel your frustation. It is always hard to put our selves first. I have a big problem doing this being a mom to 3 young girls. I was banded 9-25-08 & have only lost 45- ish Lbs. The first 6 months was good & that's when I lost most of the weight. I have lost MAYBE 8 lbs in the last 9 months. This is my own fault though. I know I have been eating around my band, my choices have been bad, & I do not exercise. I am bag on the wagon now & I feel like I still have the will to fight the fight. Atleast we have not GAINED the weight right! Normally I would have lost the 45 & put it back on again & then some! Hang in there! Pm me if you need anything .

I have had no problems w. them. All of a sudden I'm getting bills. Anyone have this happen? I have been banded over a yr now. I guess I'll have to call. I hate it wehn you get a different story from each person you talk to. :-(

I have BC/BS NH. Only took a week! :-)

Blue_ that is a wicked funny!!!! lol! Jay-I saw on a show one time this girl had to go to the hospitol & they gave her a shot of something that finally did it. ??????????? I don't know????
