is there anyone from Dorset area that has had the band, I just want to see if there is anyone out there that can have a chat with coz I am really struggling at the moment I have lost motivation and feeling alone about it all

HI i have been banded for a while now about a year and a half i have done really well loosing 16.5 stone but still got a bit to go but i have lost all motivation, i dont know what to eat anymore i cant be bothered to exercise and i dont know why

i am getting a bit worried that i am starting to obsese over losing weight i dont think i am but i have been told by my mum and grandparents that i am and when people keep telling me that it starting to make me think that i am. in april it will be my first year being banded and i have lost 10 stone and still got a lot to go but i am very happy with what i have lost so far, to me most the time it dose not feel like i have got a band and i worry that i might slip back into old habbits has anyone else been though this and have and advise to give me

thank you both, you are right i do feel better about it now

is it me or is it sooo much harder to get a job being big they just dont want to give u a chance

hi i had my opp done 7th april this year and my bmi was well over 60 and i am doing well i have lost 5 and a half stone so far..

i have just had a fill last monday and my band is just over half full i have good restriction so am happy about that but ever since i have had that fill i am feeling really stressed out and everything is getting to me and i dont know why

hi so i have been doing really well so far but i am starting to find it really hard not to snack and my postion sizes are slowly getting bigger my motivation has gone right down and i dont know y

i have had 2 fills as well and still dont get restriction but it will come soon i am gonna give what dave said a go and see what happens

thanks dave i will give it a go..

i am so happy right now... i have lost another 10 pounds that makes it 3 stone and 4 pounds lost since i started in bout 2 months .... SO HAPPY

i have only had one fill and at the moment it does not feel any different from when i had no fills. but i am trying my hardest to stick to small meals and going out for walks and stuff, i cant wait to have the right amount of fills so i can be full more quickly.

thank you
