So sad about your port but you don't want to see that 268 lb woman again. You have been thru sooooo much just to get the surgery so try to eat the right foods and still chew and chew and eat slowly and maybe while your waiting to get your port fixed you can still loose some weight. I know it must be hard but you do not want to see that 268 lbs woman again. Good luck to you, Judy

Thank you Judy! I feel much better about. Still staying focused. Those words r sooo true I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT 268 lbs WOMEN AGAIN. EVER!!!!

Boshie, take this opportunity to realize that it's you...and not your band, doing the work. YOU choose what you put in your mouth, the band only helps you eat less of it. The sooner you make peace with that, the sooner you can make wiser choices about what to eat. I had to come to that realization after being stuck at the same weight for a year and realizing that if I wanted to lose more weight and get to my goal, I had to change what I was eating. So even though you can eat whatever you want, try to work on wanting to eat what's good for you. Right now, I feel like I could be completely unfilled and still be successful because I've learned so much about how to eat properly.

Best of luck to you!
