I agree, this is harder than I thought, too! I was banded in October 2010. I lost 40 lbs. by December 2011. I went in for a fill and it was way too much, so I had it removed. now, I have gained back 20 lbs. and I am just sick about it. I am wondering if I have it all removed and start over would it help. Has anyone ever had this problem? I really need some advice. Thanks!

slow! I need a boost to get exercising and losing.I think of you often with your little bundle. I have 2 sons ages 36 and 39, a daughter age 32, and 2 beautiful grandsons ages 5 & 8. Like yours, mine are my joy and my blessing. Have you started prepping for Christmas yet? I shopped in the US for Black Fri so that gave me a good start. Your 1st fill is soon isn't it, it doesn't hurt, I have 2cc,

Hi Pat, it's been ages but first my computer was acting up and now I'm having trouble understanding how the new format works. I think I'm sending you a message but I might be sending it to myself. Let me know if you get it. I had my 1st fill but no difference, a woman I met at my clinic just had her 3rd and was hoping for restriction. this is toooo s...

Hello My Friend! How are you doing with the band? You need to let me know what's going on with you. My sweet baby boy has really kept me busy the last couple of weeks so I haven't been on too much. I know why the Good Lord gives us babies while we're younger......ENERGY! I don't have it like I once did. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Take care. Blessings......Pat

You might try Slim Fast. I love chocolate and their chocolate is very good. Walmart's brand (Equate) chocolate is good too. I wish you the best! Blessings, PitPat:rolleyes:

Texasdream, don't worry too much about your weight loss. I was banded on10/18 and I have only lost 21 lbs.. It was discouraging until I realized that's not too bad and it's not going away overnite (but I wish). I've not been able to walk like I should and that is a disadvantage. So, if you're not walking, and you can, get out and walk a little every day until you can work up to about an hour. Take care. Blessings, PitPat -

I think of you so often. And you are in my prayers and I send you blessings. I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Some days are really bad. I want to eat anything and everything. I will be glad to get the fill on 12/1(6 wks. 2 days). Going through the holidays is going to be tough. I started keeping my great-grandson today. I didn't have time to eat. It has been so many years since I had a little one around. I love it but it lets me know my age. How sad:frown:. Take care and let me hear from you soon. Blessings, Pat -

Congratulations on being banded!:crying: Don't worry about what people think, or say. We all know that if we could have lost the weight on our own, we would have. If someone mentions about you have lost weight, just tell them, "thank you. I'm trying". Keep us informed on your weight loss. We're all in this together. Blessings, PitPat:smile2: -

Hello! I totally understand about trying to stay on the diet. I won't have my first fill until 12/1! The upcoming holidays are messing up their scheduling. The nurse said that it was normal to go four to six weeks before a fill. Maybe for her but I feel like I need one before then. Oh, well, I can't do anything about it but fume. I can't walk either. I twisted my knee and then ran into something in the middle of the night and really messed it up. Thankfully my orthopedic doctor's nurse is working me in tomorrow. If it's not one thing, it's another. But, it could be worse. Take care ad let me hear from you. Blessings, Pat:smile2: -

I am sorry that you gained, lost, gained, lost but it did make me feel better. I gained on the pre op diet! :smile: I had not been eating that many calories for about 3 weeks, so I had lost about 10 lbs.. And then....gained it back, then 2 more. Mad? Yep! I was. One week and one day out from surgery and I have lost 20 lbs.! Whoohoo!!! Do take your pain meds. I find that if I do a lot during the day, I still need it at bedtime. Take care and when you "find" your scales, I hope the number has dropped dramatically!:thumbup: Blessings, PitPat -
