Don't be critical, we are all here to learn how to be better. This is a process, and a long, lifelong one at that. Please ignore rude people. Being one week out is extremely hard, you have so many emotions that you are working through, and old habits are HARD to break. Maybe you should try to find another outlet instead of eating, at least that is what I am still trying to do. Most people on here are also here for support so just ignore the rude people, apparently they have never had an addiction and are too ignorant to have empathy. Hang in there I promise it gets better!

Please don't be so discouraged, I am 28 weeks and was down 60 pounds, and have only put on 15 or so pounds. I didnt get my fill totally removed until around 11 weeks, I just wasnt hungry, and the Dr's were worried that I wasnt getting enough nutrition. Just follow the rules, dont go crazy with sweets and drink lots of Water. I promise this too shall pass, you have made huge strides since surgery, so there is no reason to be upset. keep up the great work, eat sensibly and you will do great! keep us posted!
I also wanted to say, the port reallly just started bothering me today, just a little sore, I have been doing a lot of pushing and pulling though. it does feel funny though b/c there is not so much padding around it, dont worry it doesnt stick out. I have a 4 yr old son and carried him totally different, but this one is a girl, so i really do not look pregnant from the front or back, only from the side. I was huge all over with my son. it probably depends more which sex you are carrying, than anything to do with the band, in my opinion.
