B52 you continue to inspire me, sometimes I can't say that enough on our other group but it's yours and xavier's words that I listen to. I have no doubt this is going to work for me. You go B52!!!

1 Yr Post Band, Struggling To Keep Food Down
needamulligan replied to Mpurnell617's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I have heard this too with the coffee ground symptom. If anything call the surgeon you had and explain your symptoms, get some advice from a medical professional -
From the album: Progress Nov and Dec 2011 212lbs to 185lbs
yay getting a waist!! I love my band. I will continue to add photos as my journey continues. I can't wait for summer, finally I will feel comfortable in my skin, it'll be great not to have to cover up to hide my problem areas (my entire body, I honestly considered wearing a snuggie to the beach) this year I can't wait to feel the sun and a cool breeze on my skin instead of sweltering in all my cover ups. This would be my ultimate goal. We go to the same campsite in British Columbia every year for the past 11 years, every year I arrive I am a different weight, sometimes down 30lbs sometimes plus 30lbs, finally I will be skinny, everyone will think my husband got himself a new woman!! -
Finally after weeks of stalled weight loss I am down a pound and a 1/2. First fill is Monday!!
-
good grief scale, you are totally pi$$ing me off, first fill next Monday, hopefully that'll bring some results
-
SOOOO excited for 2012!!! I can't wait till this time next year!! back on track after a couple slips over christmas and I am ready get this train moving again!!

This is a rough time of year for a food addict, but 5 weeks post op I am awaiting the next phase of my journey with my fill on Jan 10th. I'm trying to remain kind to myself and not fall into the self hatred trap just because I've made some poor choices.

So I Guess I Failed Already ......
needamulligan replied to 2bSMALLER's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded Nov 22, and I am exactly like you. I couldn't get over being full on a cup of yogurt now I am HUNGRY, and I have been making some pretty poor choices. I was hoping to be one of those people who never need a fill. WRONG...I need to make that next step, it's been 5 weeks time for phase 2. I know once I have a fill I will once again be satisfied on a cup of food. You have to think how swollen everything was right after surgery, now after a few weeks of healing the swelling has gone down so the restriction is much less, therefore it's time to get a fill. I know I'm not horking out but I'm not always following the rules, add holidays in there with tons of crap laying around what's an addict to do?! Don't beat yourself up, this is a journey not a race. It's a small phase of your trip and the beginning is rough. Hang in there and just know this is common from what I've seen. Listen to B-52 I totally agree and it's posts like his that make me realize this is temporary, so be kind to yourself, you are not failing, try and imagine yourself this time next year we are going to be amazing!!
