  1. :mad:i was banded on 02/26/09 almost 14 weeks ago. first two weeks i lost 9 pounds next 3 weeks ZERO! next 9 weeks 10 lbs. this week think i gained all my weight back. ive only had 1 fill end of march next fill is on may 28 im feeling so disgusted and disappointed in myself i thought i would be losing more weight by now:cursing:
  2. dont be afraid everything is going to be ok the only thing you should be afraid of is changing your mind that would be a big mistake i was banded on 02/26/09 i arrived at the center at 730am my surgery wasnt scheduled until 930am so i had all that time to think i was sooooooo scared and almost changed my mind but then i thought about how sick i was of seeing myself and feeling tired all the time not doing anything but staying home i didnt want to be seen in public and i stuck it out i did it! the worst thing for me was being put to sleep but now that i know how it is i could do it again dr will give you something for your nerves to relax you and it makes you forget you are scared then put a mask over your face ask you to breath and thats it 1/2 hour later you'll wake up feel a little discomfort when you breath but they can give you medicine for that walk you around and thats it the rest is up to you trust me it sounds worst than what it is i am so glad i did it let me know if there is something else i can help you with good luck dont worry really!!!!

    wow that is great never in my life could i have eaten 1/2 a burger and 8 fries its always been 2 burgers and xxl fries with xxl coke dont get too down on yourself thats still good hope you re feeling better
  5. hi i get that alot and i believe that happens when you dont chew your food throughly or you ate something that you shouldnt for example french fries i tried to eat just one and it got stuck and the feeling is like the one you described
  6. I have another question if you eat too much can you stretch your stomach out? Does anyone know? Thanks
  7. I don't know what it is either during the day i can't eat alot don't even feel that hungry sometimes i have to make myself eat. i do good all day but as soon as night comes i get this ferocious appetite and have to eat. for some odd reason it feels like during the day my band is tighter and at night i can eat more. is that weird or normal :purplebananna:
  8. :laugh: hello had lapband surgery on 02/26/09 and 1st 2 weeks lost 10 lbs next 3 weeks lost 0 lbs the next seven weeks 9 lbs 6 weeks ago had 1 tighting of band i think i am doing something wrong not quite sure what i should and shouldnt be eating i feel so disappointed if anyone has advice thank you
