I have had my band since April of 2009. I have only lost 42 pounds. I feel like such a loser!! No matter what I try I can not get back on track!! December of 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so most of 2010 I have been focusing on that, I am ALMOST through with everything to do with the breast cancer. So now I need to get back on track and get this weight moving again. Anyone have any ideas what I can do. I seem to be hungry all the time. I saw my dr. and she said I am in the green zone I will not be getting any more fills. So now it is up to me.:puke:

First of all I hope yours breast cancer is in full remission. You are not a failure. You have spent the last year battling for your life I would not call that a failure . You are a hero in my eyes. As for getting back on track if you are hungry all the time you need a fill. Resintx how does your Dr. know if you are in the green zone?

hopefully others will see this post and help you get going again. Remember to love yourself you are a survivor.

You have had to focus on fighting cancer rather than weight loss. I am glad you are almost at the finish line in terms of the cancer. I don't understand why your doc. thinks your in the green zone when your hungry all the time. Maybe give your doc. clear data on what your eating and how long your staying satisfied. Best wishes!

I agree with the other posters. How does the doc know you are in the green zone since it's different for everyone? Make an appointment, show the doc a diary of foods you have eaten, (make sure they are more solid/protein dense foods), the amounts, how long until you are hungry. If he/she still doesn't want to give you a fill after showing what you can eat, how much and how often, then ask for a referral to another doctor. That band isn't going to do you much good if you can't feel the restriction.

BTW - I really hope your treatment is a resounding success. You've had a tough year...time to get your mind on the future! You can do it!
