  2. Thank you all for your support!!!! I really felt like i was the only one!!! It's sad that cookies and ice cream go down easier than chicken and vegetables!! LOL I need to kick the sugar once again. I can't say that I ever really feel hungry. It's just cravings more than anything. I will start having a better attitude and get rid of the self-pity! I am so thrilled I came back to this site!!!!! If any of you want to add me on FB here my page. Please don't discuss the band on my page, due to a judgmental mother in law!!!! A new beginning!!!! http://www.facebook.com/michelle.simpson.740

  8. I feel like a lap-band failure!! I also think I have a food addiction. I started at 230 got down to 160 and now I am back up to 205. What do I do now? Is my band messed up? I am too ashamed to return to my surgeon. I too want to start again but I feel so lost.

    Thank you for all you said about why the lap band doesn't work!! I'm scheduled for my surgery next Tuesday and I'm so sick of "friends" telling me they know people with the lapband and they aren't losing weight. There is a reason I'm sure. I think you listed most of the possiblilities!! I know this won't be instant. My nurse even said to take my measurements because I may be losing inches when the pounds are coming off slow. I'm so glad to have this site. You all GET IT!!!
