Kah: I forgot to say I am already taking 300 mg of Colace a day.. I used to take metamucil I have irritable bowel syndrome but this is totally outta whack!

I am unfortunately in a situation where I keep getting constipated... Has this happened to anyone? This isn't your run of the mill constipation I had to buy an enema tonight. I saw a nutritionist a couple of weeks ago and she said I wasn't getting enough carbs for things to pass ok I thought I had rectified that Doesn't how you eliminate affect your weight loss? I am seeing my bariatric dr tomorrow.. Anyone have advice on how to get things moving in a lapband friendly way? Thanks, Mary

Jubee! Thanks for replying! You said such wise words! I have a prob with the choc also! Thank you for putting a lot of things into perspective... A lot of what you said was really supportive and I really needed that thanks again!

Thanks everyone for all the responses! Weighed myself this morning didn't do too much damage I am back on track:)

Ok I'm just going to put this out there. I have a few questions.. First of all. I'm really struggling. I received my lapband in Sept 2010 and I have only lost 45 lbs. I have to admit I wasn't totally compliant at first. I have an obese fiance and a lot of our time involves eating out and I haven't always made the best choices Flash to 2012 a question I want to ask is does anyone know is there a 'window of opportunity'? Am I running out of time to lose this weight? I just feel like I struggle. I had a problem at work and I binged today... How do people deal with everyday stress without eating over it? I NEED TO OVERCOME THIS! Thanx for listening all advice is appreciated!

Hi out there I am in serious need of guidance... I received my band in Sept2010. I have lost about 45 lbs. I struggle with emotional eating, I have a significant other who is obese I struggle with eating out... Making good food choices. I am pretty good w exercise. Lately I have been so tired! Please if someone could take me under their wing! I am in dire need of guidance it is so greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Mary

I too, have to continuously have to ask myself if I am hungry... if I stick to my food plan I feel like I have succeeded. I have issues being so black and white though I must keep trigger foods out of my home too! If it is a bag of something I obsess about it till it is finished. So much better when it isn't there!

Hey lapbanders, I know this is mainly a problem I shouldve dealt with before banding... It is still creeping up. I'm good when I'm hungry and I stop when full. I see a therapist to deal with this issue but once a week doesn't cut it. How do people deal w emotional eating? I am trying so hard to tackle this. I know my stomach got the surgery but my head didn't. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Thanks everyone for your responses.. I am really grateful for your feedback! I think I am fearful to succeed it is unfamiliar territory also doing the same thing is always easier! But isn't that what getting the surgery about? Doing it different? The emotional stuff really gets me. I really try. Thanks again.

Thanks Mandagay it means a lot! I'm really trying to tackle the emotional stuff! I have a fiance that likes to go out to eat also not always great choices so with both things don't make a great combination! thanks again!

Had to see dr to get unfiLled today couldn't keep liquids down medication down. So after he took the liquid out he said to stay on liquids for the next couple of days. So I was good for a while then I had ice cream and chocolate Alright people let me have it! tell me why you think I am sabotaging myself because I can't figure out why! I really need this help because it will be a major TURNING POINT in my weight loss journey Thanks

Hey all, I have to admit I haven't been wholeheartedly dedicated to my journey...I struggle with the emotional eating a lot! I feel like I need a mentor to help! I want to be dedicated, I want to succeed! Please if there is anyone out there who can help I am eternally grateful! Thank you I just need some guidance!

Hey Brian! Congrats on your success! I really need a mentor! I am really struggling I can't seem to get on track! I am really screwing up. I have good intentions in the morning then I screw my day up I really want to get this! I don't know what your schedule is I'm pretty flexible. I live in New york. I would be delighted if you could take me on. I really need a mentor. I hope you can help me. I want to change but I need help. Thanks -Mary
