One fill and I still am eating the wrong things and giving in to temptation.

I feel that I have no restrictions and I can't go for another fill before three weeks.

So I give up.

Just had to say that

dont give up-this is going to work-you just have to do th best you can and know that we are all here with you-it is very hard and I definitely understand.

You simply can't give up, we won't let you! Chin up, tomorrow is a new day and your band is waiting for you to push it with correct eating. Hard protiens first! You can do this!

Don't give up! For MOST people it takes 3-5 fills to get to the right restriction level. It takes time. 3 weeks isn't that long of a time in the grand scheme of things...it might seem that way now, but a year from now, you'll look back and realize that it was all worth it.

Use these 3 weeks to concentrate on eating good things. Good, solid, nutritious food. Take these 3 weeks and do an exercise routine. Take these 3 things and concentrate on drinking Water. Hey -- that's 3 things.

This week: work on good food.

Next week: work on exercise.

3rd week: work on getting in water.

Now...when you come to the 2nd week, that doesn't mean you can eat junk again -- you add something new in.

It takes time to change habits.

BigMom,

Are you eating every 2-3 hours? I find that if I stick to that schedule I don't get as hungry and it's easier to resist temptation....

You did not have surgery to give up, not to mention the money! Patience. You will be proud when this thing works for you!

I felt discouraged after my first fill too, I thought I would get some restriction then, but didn't feel any different from before I went. Hang in there, it will get better. The main this to concentrate on right now is getting your protein in first. You can do this!

Nope...yer not allowed to give up after 1 fill...most folks need 3-5 to get "just right" and you'll get there too...this is the frustrating part and just take comfort that most of us had to deal with that period of frustration too.

Until it's properly adjusted, the band will not do much of anything...once it is, it'll be easier to focus on making better choices because you'll know you can't eat as much and you won't be hungry all the time.

Hang in there.

What they said. If you had surgery just to "give up" after a short time, well, why did you have surgery? This is a lifelong journey and you have only just started. After another couple of adjustments you'll look back and say, OH! That's what it's all about.

You're NOT giving up!!

Today is a new day and you can get back on track. Incorperate More solid Protien at everymeal.

Hi all,

Here has been my roller coaster for thelast few weeks, Had one fill of 2c.c and had restrictions for three days. Went back for a second fill three weeks later added another 4ccs felt well after the visit went to work, three hours later began vomitting non stop had to rushed back to the doctor where he removed 2.5cc. Went on liquids for three days then tried to eat msuhy stuff but it won't stay down. I am not going back to the Dr. but this is really getting annoying.I am giving it one more week then if things are not better I wil go see him again.

I give up with you. Phooey on the whole thing. For today, anyway. Tomorrow I'm starting a new day. Want to join me? I started a whole new thread about it. Go check it out.

Here's the link to DeLarla's new thread. I signed up for tomorrow

Good luck!

Don't give up. I know it's hard...I am having a hard time too right now, but hang in there. Today may be a "bad" day but tomorrow is a chance for a "good" one. Just keep posting, sharing your thoughts and feelings, and get all the support you can. You can do this.

Hugs to you.

Well

Monday morning back at work and staying on track was easy, but.... home by 6:00 quick wrong bite run out to soccer with the little one, back by 8 supper for all (baked chicken) tried to eat too fast spent the next few hours praying to the porcelin g-d, now for tomorrow need to be back on liquids to have time to heal.

What a way to end the day........:cry

Bigmom, it's a learning curve and you're learning. No one ever said this was going to be a bed of roses. But it will get better as your behaviors change to accept the reality of restriction, and you'll be losing weight!!

Hope you're feeling better today. Take it slow!!
