Ive had my GS since Feb. of 2009 and in the begining it seemed to be pretty good. but then I stopped losing weight and actually gained back most of what I lost. I got so frustrated & depressed I I began not to care anymore. I seem to be able to do well for a bit but then Im back to eating unhealthy, and sometimes eating more than I should or need to. My son had a GS done last October, he has had tremendous success & I am SO proud of him you cant even imagine. I thought for sure his success would inspire me, & it does, at times. WHY CAN'T I STICK TO THIS ????
Anyone with some suggestions please please share. msg me on Facebook, Cathy Hurkmans Tolman or email me cmt@chartermi.net or reply here, whatever you can do.
Im lost, Im depressed and Im ready to stop trying even some of the time

I know I have days that I feel hungry all the time, and some days I can eat a lot more food without feeling over full.
however, my dr just recently put me on prilosec and Im noticing that I am not getting the urge to eat so much or so often.
Im sure some is boredom and some is just head hunger, but I still am battling the food demons.

I just cant seem to stay on track. I want to, I want it more than anything. I did great in the begining, but now I get discouraged so easlity and havent lost any weight in months. I seem to have NO will power at all. Im just disgusted with ME and my lack of self control.

I can't believe there are no posts in this section. I am struggling so badly and sure could use a mentor or something. please reply if you can help me get back on track.

I found out why I was feeling restricted then not. My port was leaking. I had it repleaced & relocated in october. so I kinda started from square one. right now I am filled at 3.4 cc in a 5 cc band.
I have heard tho that some people feel mosr restriction later. also oyu will notice more restriction in the morning ussually.

I couldnt get a date that was soon enough for me. after all the months I waited for the seminar, the evals, the whole process, once I was okayed. I wanted the band NOW !!

I know exactly what youre going thru. been there done that too mnay times, since being banded not so much, but b4 all the time. I wasnt eating the best during the 3 or 4 months after surgery. thinking I was eating less so I could get away with eating anything. NOT TRUE!!
I gain 6 pounds and woke up fast..... Im nearly 9 months out and down 40 pounds..... I wanted desperately to loose 50 pounds by my 50th bday...... well that was april 24th..... I didnt make it and have no one to blame but M E !!
the best I can tell you is dont buy the bad foods.... dont give yourself the temptation. when you "think" youre hungry, take a glass of Water and leave the kitchen, sit down make yourself sip it untill gone and by then, I bet the thought of having to eat will begone or lessen alot. just tell yourself each timne. " IM NOT HUNGRY " and keep repeating it to yourself.it does help.
good luck to you and drink that water!!!

Levve Guru, I only WISH I could answer that. I dont really know whats going on. for the most part, my meals consist of a protien and a veggie. I will totally admit that sweets are a huge weakness for me. I'm just at a point that I need to know how to care again.
