Thanks for all the input-I am going to do the steps at work that is a great idea. I seem to be able to eat larger amounts of foods than I should I don't go back for a fill for a few more weeks I think I will make an appt with the dietician then also. Thanks again for all the help.

Thank you both so much-I get so frustrated with myself and I know there is no magic band. I start out the day thinking this is it and then I get hungry and the things that seem to go down the best are the worst for me. Any suggestions on healthy things that slide down easy-haha? I know I need to exercise and excuses...excuses.. I work 13hr shifts and seem to have no energy on my days off. I live in a rural community and it seems all the classes are on my work days-any at home dvds that really make you want to exercise? I thank you both again and thats why I found this site-I need motivators and I appreciate all the help.

I seriously need a LAP-BAND®® buddy-I feel like I am doing everything wrong and need some support will undestand-have friends s/p LAP-BAND®® but I seem to be the only one struggling which is great for me but they don't seem to understand my emotional eating- maybe someone who fights the same struggle. I am 38,married and an xray technologist. I work 13 hr shifts so seem to be too lazy to exercise on my days free-someone help me!:rolleyes2:

I am new to this site and sought it out to try to gain some support. I work at a facility that does lapband and had mine done Oct.1,2009. I have only lost about 10lbs since the surgery and and I know I should be greatful but I see so many others that have lost so much so quickly and I feel like such a failure. I know I am still getting hungry alot and seem to be able to eat to much. I am not sure if I am just eating because of stress or what. I see so many people who have dropped weight like crazy a coworker had her surg over a month after me and has lost 50lbs. I know this is my fault I don't excercise and seem to always choose the wrong foods so I need some support-any words of encouragement or ideas to help motivate-give more energy-anything. I would really appreciate it-thanks:frown:
