Yes, it is here already! It is my one year anniversary of getting my Lap band. Overall i am very happy, down 110 pounds, have no complaints. Have had a few little issues along the way but really has been relatively easy.

Unfortunatley I think its harder for me now then it was in the beginning. I am not losing as much, which is to be expected but it makes it harder to stick to. The last 2 months i lost only 3 pounds a month and agreed to have my 1st adjustment. Was really unhappy about that, couldn't help but see that as a failure for me.

Did okay after, didnt notice any difference but committed to do better for this month. 2 weeks ago I started having problems, noticed I was feeling really sick and in pain after only a few bites. Thought I did something wrong, so I let it go. Tried to convince myself that I must have eaten too much or too fast or just something that I should have. It continued and feeling miserable, tired of being in pain, tired of vomiting, I decided to stay on liquids until I saw my doctor the following week. Ok, maybe not the best idea but i did it and felt a little better. No more stabbing pain and no throwing up, YUCK!

Sunday got up, went to the gym for my boot camp and conditioning classes- 2 hours of heavy classes- on liquids for 3 days prior- of course I got a little dizzy but I got through it, home, shower, run around, keagans football game- really feeling dizzy at times, had to try and eat- got sick:-(

Monday morning took the kids to school, went to the gym, had to pick up my son from school early after he banged his head during recess, cleaned house, picked up the other 2 kids, home work, dinner, off to work for me. The standard crap for me- worked all night- still taking just liquids. Tuesday morning got off work, went home, took kids to school, went to the gym, home, showere, doctors appt. Really not feeling well!!! Almost passed out in his office, oh how wonderful. Thinking about it now i probably did it to myslef by not eating for 6 days and continuing to go to the gym and run here and there and not sleep since sunday night. But what can I say, I am a genius!

Doctor was obviously concerned but i cant help but feel a little annoyed at him- while Im dizzy and fighting nausea- he asked me if I took any medication? I know he kind of has to, i understand the reasoning, i get it but REALLY??It takes a lot for me to say that something is not right, that im not feeling good and for that to be the responce, kind of pisses me off. Took me a while a hit me what he was talking about, I run all day long, like I really have time to start popping pills.

Even after leaving there, i went home and cleaned house, picked up the kids, homework, dinner and back to work I went.

Upper Gi showed the band is fine, great so maybe I did this to myself?? Maybe my biggest issue is the fact that I run on power naps so that I can stay up for my 72 hour days. Oh and just to add to me feeling like shit, I lost absolutley no weight over the month, 0! Just add that little kick in there.

Sorry, I really have no regrets about choosing the banding and have had great results, I am just frustrated right now and I do not have any clue what I am doing wrong:mad2:
