I Don't Want This Lap Band......

[2muchfun 8,927]

When I finally pulled the trigger and decided to go for the band, I knew I was giving up my 2nd love of my life. Food!

I gave up food so I could be there when my kids finish school and I also wanted to be there when my grandkids needed someone or I needed them. You've gotta love your children and family more than food to make this work. I know I did and I have no regrets.

I dont know how far along you are but if you are just in the post op diet stage all I can say is hang in there. I know this is tough, This is the worst and hardest part. After you get past that though you can eat whatever you want. I eat burgers. I eat pizza. I just dont need or want to eat as much. I promise you this part will pass and things will be normal again.

PLEASE hang in there !!

When were you banded?

I can eat anything except rice and apple skins.

It does get better. Remember to take tiny bites and make sure you finish what you have in your mouth before you take your next bite. Have you talked to your doctor?

Have you been able to talk any other bandsters in person or on the phone?
