Just had my 5th fill. I'm not gonna say my 5th and final because I thought my 4th fill was my final fill. I don't know why but, every time I go I feel like, "ok this is the magic dose and now I'm gonna get skinny". I guess lapband is a disappointment in that regard because its such a slow process. I, however, am also thankful for my lapband because I don't want all the skin issues, bypass patients get. Yes, they lose weight fast, but some gain it all right back because, unlike lapband, when they stretch its permanent. My sister had bypass and lost a 100 lbs. I became the fat sister. 8 years later she's put about 30 back on and now I have lapband. Needless to say she's already contacted a surgeon about band over bypass lol. Come on 5th fill!! Make me skinny! I know it doesn't work like that but I use my band correctly so I know the weight is gonna start really falling off. I'm not gonna be the fat sister. Hopefully it won't be her either. We're sending "fat" vibes towards our skinny sister. Its her turn lol!

I Have Days Also Where Food Goes Down Easily. Other Days Barely Get Anything Down. Makea It Hard To Eat With Others.

I Drink Something.Hot.first.Thing In The Morning Which I Do Think Helps.

Brianb its so funny you mention chips. When I said I love salsa I failed to mention I eat it with chips. I don't eat a lot, however, I'm not totally cutting all of my favorite foods out of my life. I'm losing weight, I eat healthy and I allow myself carbs.

Hi There....I Also Eat.chips And Salsa. I Make A Small.plate. Tastes Great. Cant Eat Alot. Nothing.Wrong With Enjoying Small Portions. Band Works.great Making Me Full After Just A Bit.

I agree with you 100%. Carbs are the bodies main source of energy and I refuse to stop eating them. I don't go overboard. But I do eat them. I also allow myself to eat sweets. I control it though and its not everyday. Just a treat here and there.

Dont Think.I Know Hos To Use The Quote....Oh Well.
