Waiting to get filled!

I was banded Sept last year and still not had a fill due to the port being fitted back to front. On the 29 May I go and have it fixed. I am eating like mad at the moment only for swimming and gym each day I would have put on a lot more weight. My husband is having a op to clear his veins on the same day and due to his other illnesses it is risky. I think the stress could be the cause of my comfort eating.

I was banded on 4-8-08. I had lost 20lbs. But since have gained wieght back, I now have only maintained 15lbs lost. I feel okay about this, because I know Im doing the right things. However, my family and friends are like" how long does it take to lose the weight?" Its frustraing for me because I feel as though I am letting them down. I know its about me and my journey, but could you tell that to my friends and family!!!! lol!!! I feel the pain too, it hard not to lose weight and keep positive.

I have the same problem too with family. I bought myself a baby/childs plate to eat off of. The ones you get with charaters on it with some of them that have the 2 parts to put either catsup in or vegs or what ever in it and they look like ears on them..well anyway, I bought me one of those so I can seperate my food and they are small enough well one day I was eatting and it looked like alot of food on it cause I was eatting pork-n-Beans, well I didn't drain out most of the juice out of my spoon, well my dad comes up to me and said " OH no you can't be eatting all of that, are you? You will threw up for sure" I just looked at him and said " This is not alot, just let me eat and when I am done then I will let you know" Well I felt so small, that I was half way threw the meal and couldn't eat anymore. It was like he put me on the spot or in a hole. So you are not alone with that part about friends and family. Plus I got my grandmother always calling and asking me How much I lost? I know they mean well but sometimes they can make you feel small. So when we have a gathering, I just take one or two pieces and put on my plate and eat like that. I hate to tell him something but I don't want to hurt his feelings. My mom is not like that. She wants to know if I ate enough..

I hope it gets better for you and for me.
