  1. I'm actually glad that you posted your discussion. I was feeling that I was failing and something was wrong as well. I had surgery 1/2/09 and have only lost 35 pounds. I was down to 50 pounds but in the last 6 months, gained 15 back. I don't exercise and i know that is my problem and i love ice cream. I eat too fast and probably dont chew well enough resulting in me throwing up and then eating all of those foods that slide through. The lap band is a tool not a solution and i have to realize that. I am mostly in pain when i eat protein, terrible pain and if i take some papaya enzymes before or after or some tums after it helps with the pain and i make sure that i chew my meats up well. I need to get back to my doctor to address this problem. Thanks for posting and just keep trying, so will I.
