I haven't been here for months. I am not doing so well and I need some support PLEASE! I had my band placed in June 2006. So approx. a year and 5 months ago. I did well at first. I lost about 47 pounds. Then I learned new things I could eat and swallow Water or juice and get them down. Now I am only down about pounds. I have had a few fills but I have never learned to live the RIGHT way. This sucks. I am embarrassed to talk to the Doctor and also afraid to talk to my family because I feel like I have failed myself. I think my biggest obstacle is the ice cream. I will eat so much at night and not have any problems getting it past the band. I need some support and friends and for someone to tell me where to begin this journey again. Thanks. IMEARLY@aol.com

Okay my band friends..need some help and love! I had my band placed June 12th...I have lost about 46 pounds. Heres my problem. I eat something then drink water to flush it down. I also eat sweets like crazy. I am still hungry after 2 fills. What should I do? Should I get another fill? My surgeon has no bed side manner and to talk to him about this I would feel like a failure!

Well...hate to say this...but I had my first PB! Yuck, ouch, wow! Well, after I threw up like 3 different times because the slime made me gag...I felt nauseated all day...then I have this burning sensation in my back now...what the heck?? :help:

I was really hungry for a while...then I started on solids and I felt full for hours at a time. But the liquid and mushie phase was hard but now I feel incredible!

Thank you everybody! I will have to try to increase my protein/water and just relax! This has been a journey thats for sure! HUGS! Early:rolleyes:

I am 3 weeks out from surgery and I am fatigued in the worst way. I used to be a heavy Pepsi/Coke drinker and of course I haven't had that in over 3 weeks....but I am exhausted...any thoughts?

Here is my question... When you "feel restriction" is it harder to eat OR do you fill up faster and stay full? :phanvan

Well! What happened? What did the Doctor say?

Thats an incredible house! Congrats!!!

At night I get a cramping pain where the port would be...I just had surgery 2 weeks ago...is this normal??

HI! I was banded on June 12th! Wow! Can't believe I can say that! IMEARLY@aol.com

Um, if you cheated then I am really guilty. My Doc said 3 weeks liquids and 2 weeks mushies...HA! I am in the mushies 10 days out...oops!

Yeah by Usher...everyone can dance to that!

How is the bread situation? I am newly banded...but, I love port of subs/subway...can anyone tolerate any kind of breads?
