I"m going on my 3rd year of being banded. I've only lost 15 lbs. yes only 15 lbs. UGH. i'm so disappointed in myself. I keep saying to my self the lapband is not working. Why dont' i feel restriction to make me stop. But its not that.. I know I have not let the band work for me. I need to feel "SATISFIED" when i eat to stop me. hard concept to learn.

I think i have like 7cc of stuff in my band and well at times i don't feel full or satisfied. I know its all in my head and i need to focus on eating only small portions and not snack.. VERY hard! I'm been trying to make a come back. I start back work tomorrow so I'm hoping that will keep my mind off of food since i've been home all week due to spring break.

I just need some help to help make this lapband work for.. I"m so depressed and angry at myself.

Maybe you need another fill? Why don't you schedule an appointment with your surgeon or fill doctor and discuss your problems with them?

Are you portions limited or can you eat as much as you want at every meal?

Or

Are you "grazing" all day.

Have you ever felt any restriction at all?

And last but not least......when did you see your Dr last.

i just had a fill.. i'm at 7cc... he said of course to go on a 1/2 c diet.. ... I'm trying to do this ..i've join a monthly support group.. I just feel hungry all the time.. I know i need to increase my protien and only get protien w/ veggies.. just gets so hard.. as of right now.. i'm snacking alot.. which i know i need to control that. I just tired and need to make this work. I started to take my vitamins so hoping that will give me back the energy i need..
