Hey Girl, 3 pounds is not that much. I know how you feel though. Thanksgiving I went over board myself, but I got back on track and moved on. So don't worry you will lose those 3 pounds and then some. We will get through this. God Bless.

I'm just wondering now if I'm stretching my pouch while enjoying all this food?

I was banded Nov 11th '09. Two weeks prior to that I was on a two week liquid diet and had no problems. Well, sence then I have been banded nearly 4 weeks with no restriction!!! :scared2:What is going on? I get my first fill Dec 10th. I thought I would have at least a little restriction before this fill but I have none:sad:.

I'm sorry to hear the bad news :confused:. Just think of all the time and money you invested into getting this surgery. Most importantly you got the surgery to get healthy and lose weight. My advise is to do exactly what the doctor says. I know it is hard.... but you can do it. I have been on a liquid diet myself for two weeks pre-opt. I know what it feels like being around good food :drool:and not being able to eat it...but I am committed to following doctors orders. It would be a tragedy if your band slips and then get it taken out. I think you should talk with someone professional about your eating habits. They may be able to get to the source of why you eat trough your band. We both know that the band is just a tool to aide in weight loss. Fifty precent of the band works.... the other fifty precent is you doing the work. I know you can meet the band halfway and do your part. I will be praying for you. Deep down you have the will.... because God gave you the power :confused:.

Read next comment... this was an accident lol.

People in this world can be so cruel and out right mean. I am very over weight and find that people treat me differently than a skinny person is treated. I was resently on a plane flyng on vacation. On the plane know one wanted me to set by them be cause of my size. Finally the stewardest said to the people on the plan, "this lady needs a seat can some one please scoot over". I had never been so humiliated and embarrased in all my life! So I sat next to this couple and cried my eyes out. They were very rude and had no empathy. They laughed while I was cring and pretened that something was funny outside the airplane window :crying:.

Hello, I'm getting banded Nov 11th 09' exactly one month for today. I'm getting anxious and wondering if I'm going the right direction with this decision. I've been gearing up for this surgery for over a year now. I need some encouragement. I want to make a healthy life style change in my life. I hope I'm doing the right thing. I'm scared I don't want to be. Help!!
