<p>Hi Everyone......I need some advice.</p> <p>I was banded in April, of 2005, By Dr. Kwon.</p> <p>I have lost 52 pounds, and that is it. I am so disgusted with myself.</p> <p>I went to the doctor for a fill in Jan. and I felt like such a loser.....but not in a good way.</p> <p>I sat there crying, because I have no motivation. I eat all the wrong things, and then hate myself after I am done.</p> <p>I am in family counseling, cuz I have family issues, but that isnt even helping me.</p> <p>There are days I wish I didnt have to get out of bed.</p> <p>I feel like such a failure.<img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/help.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Help" smilieid="256" class="inlineimg" /> <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/Cry.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Cry" smilieid="223" class="inlineimg" /></p>

I was banded in 11/05 and i have only lost 75 pounds but i am not looking at that as a failure it is still a success! it is more than i have ever lost in my life and it has stayed off. did i want to lose more yes about 70 lbs more but if it is meant to be it will happen. please don't let yourself feel bad, take one day at a time and start small, even if you have something in the day you are not supposed to then just say ok that was my 1 goof of the day and continue on with the plan it will work if you just let it. good luck.
