I'm not doing so good. I'm not following the diet at all. I know what I should be doing, but I just can't seem to get with the program. My weight is up at this time. I need to slow down and rethink what I'm doing. I do want to lose. I do want to feel better. I know that this last week I've not felt very good. I know it is because I'm not doing what I should be doing. I will try to do better tomorrow. I just have to do this. This is the hardest part of the year with the holiday and all. I have to keep busy and not let thing get to me. I will do this.

well Carol, no sympathy here, you must have had a goal to start. Just think how motivated you will be if the insurence co. wnts there money back.

It's a tool not a miracle

I was experiencing the same thing, but finally got back to the basics and re-read the rules of Lap-band. I started following the rules again, and now I'm losing again. Hang in there and remember why you had the lap-band in the first place. You can do it!

my surgery was the end of feb. and I had the first fill 2 weeks ago and have only lost a total of 12 pounds - could the slim fast shakes be a problem?

Carol,

I it's hard for me too. I'm sure you are looking for sympathy, but I am having a difficult time adjusting to this new lifestyle. I am going to reread the manual and start over everyday again if I have too....And by the way, EVERYONE DIDN'T PAY WITH INSURANCE! BESIDES, TOO BAD THEY CAN'T GET IT BACK!
