Hey all….

Not been online at all. Getting depressed and discouraged. 1st fill May 8 left me as hungry as ever. I'm trying to hold my own; gained two pounds.

Next fill is on 6/28 - My birthday; go figure. So I'm hoping this one will bring my some sort of restriction. It was just a good feeling to feel satisfied on such a small amount of food. I was doing great with lower blood sugars; even those have come up, b/c I'm eating more to get satisfied.

Well two days til Fill 2. Wish me luck.

good luck for the fill and happy birthday .....i to have bad days, but the future is starting to look better .. keep going girl

Most people who have had WL success do so with the help of a support group. If you are like many of us...this is easier than going to a meeting. I check in a couple times a day and it does help me. I read good posts and ones that are not very motivating..I try to inspire others and hope that in my times of need, others will be there for me.

So, stick around and let others support you. This is a jouney not a quick ticket. It is okay to get discouraged as long as you don't give up. You can start anew at any time. Give yourself some positive talk about why you chose the band and what you hope to accomplish with it. You are the pilot...you have to make the decisions...and you can do it,

Sherilynn - I've been missing you! I'm at 3.0 cc's and have lost my restriction, sucks! But I'm going for fill #3 on July 2nd.

Come to the board for help, even when your discouraged - it really helps.

Sheri, keep getting fills until you get good restriction. It took me 5 fills to get there. Good luck.
