txprincess, thanks for chatting. My problem is at night too. For breakfast i usually have a protein shake, or hard boiled egg with fruit, snack is usually yogurt, lunch is always a protein, usually chicken, and i try to get in a veggie. Dinner varies i do a lot of grilled chicken, and fish. Sweets is my problem and the drinking on the weekend. I will still devour a piece or cake or a couple brownies with milk, then lay in bed in agony. My husband asks why i do that to myself....and i have no good answer. I really thought i would do well with this, and it is very frustrating. If you ever want to talk more about things or how a day went my email is rachels0678@aol.com. Maybe we can compare things and work together:) Im trying to keep my head up and so far today hasnt been so bad....

I also wanted to write that i just received my 4th fill and i am at 7.25cc in a 10cc band...........i need to change because i am worried about my pouch stretching

I had just recently posted and i do realize my no weight loss is coming from sabotaging myself. My husband and i have always been weekend drinkers. We have no children yet so we still like to go out more than we should. I had stop drinking for about two months after surgery 1/2010 and lost 28 pounds right off the bat. After that I went back to having a few drinks to now being about to drink beer. I am very careful, but i know the carbonation can possibly stretch the pouch. I am also able to eat whatever i like. Today was a bad day and dinner was 2 pieces of pizza and a garlic roll. This is hard for me, because i have no self control when it comes to what to eat. At surgery I was 273 now i am 226, so... its going but i beat myself up for how i eat. This is how i got heavy in the first place so im constantly asking myself how lapband is really suppose to help when you have a food addiction. All the dieting ive done, was very similar to the lapband....watch what you eat, and exercise......uggghhh well tomorrow i am going to try to get back on track i would really love to lose 10 lbs by the end of August! Thank you all so much for the support and listening. This is a great website to let feelings out and get responses from people who feel the same or can give helpful advise.

Thank you so much for the positive support!
