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.

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.

thank you all for the noce welcome.... trip2B what do you do in brimley for fun ? I like going tot he casino here, I love to go thrift store shopping and visiting with my grandkids.

I treid biotin and it didnt do much..... the evening primrose oil caps helped alot tho. they are gel caps and cheap.

back out ???? no way...... 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 !! my whole process took at total of about 5 months.

I actually have always flet alot MORE restriction right after the fills and it seems to lessen in a week or so.

:hugs: 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!!!
