I also deleted the app from my phone and my iPad. I took a break for a few days, and now breeze in and out. It became all consuming, and I needed to just be with my band, and the support from my doctor's office. These forums are a mixed bag; can make your head spin :rolleyes: And the posts by the people with complications are informational, but unfortunately, a lot of the posters think that the lap band sky is falling if someone posts that they're having an issue. It's just TOO much sometimes!

Exactly i have enough of my own stress i cause by over thinking so sometimes these threads had my mind in another world! Just want to think positive as i am still in the beginning and even though im losing slowly or not at all i rather hear positive things right now and continue my journey to success even if i hit bumps in the road!

I'm sorry yes alot may disagree with what in about to say but I agree with all the above, TRuE there is alot if great advice on here but alot of times I stay so stressed out now reading the bad that has happened an plain scared to death : is this gonna happen to me and when is my feelings a majority of the time. Please don't get me wrong I have leaned ALoT from this sight more than I ever would I just need to learn to listen to my own band an stop comparing to others. I also have a problem of worrying for the people that have problems I feel like they are family now. If I offended anyone this want my intentions at all !!

Me too i do it almost everyday!

It's exhausting, and yet one MORE reason I eat to self medicate ;) This process of not being able to go straight to food when I'm "workin' it".......whatever IT is, has been quite frustrating. But I'm getting through it, and hopefully the urge to numb out with the hand to mouth activity will get easier as the weeks and months pass. I don't think we're ever cured, but would hope I find alternatives to deal with the madness :blink:

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
