watching others eat good food!

Do you find yourself getting worried that your situation is going to turn out like some of the others that haven't been successful with the band? I like to come to the forum to read what other people's experiences with band are like but sometimes I get a bit discouraged. I was banded on 11-02-11 and so far I've lost 15lbs. And I'm super excited but then i'll read someone's post about losing about the same weight and not losing anything else for a year or so and INSTANTLY I start saying, "don't get excited this could be all the weight you're gonna lose!" I know everyone's journey is different and I try to keep that in mind but I was just wondering if anyone else has these thoughts.....,

Thank you for the encouraging words I just got banded on 11-02-11 and although I get discouraged at times I think it was the best decision i've made so far!

EXACTLY! We have to keep pushing now! It never hurts to try... hell i'm sure like the rest of us you've tried everything else. Why not give this a shot too right. I'm glad you replied and said you get nervous too i'm sure the feeling is quite normal seeing as though this is such a huge decision to make and also something very new for us! Good luck with your weight loss i''m rooting for your success!

WOW that is amazing! Congratulations! I am doing pretty good so far still in the liquid stage but feeling good no hunger pains or anything yet. I can't wait to get to the place you are in i'm sure you feel GREAT!! Keep up the great work.

Thanks Dulci! We'll be fine! As long as we stay encouraged. I'm glad to know i'm not the only one that has these thoughts. I think this journey is going to show us just how strong we can be! It takes a lot more than some think. Mind over matter is huge with this one! Good luck to you as well and i'd love to continue catching up with you on your SUCCESS!!

Thanks for being so encouraging. I know this journey isn't going to be EASY and at the same time, it'll be a lot easier than it has been. I appreciate your reply! Thanks!

I was banded on November 2, 2011 and I've lost 15lbs so far!! I have 55lbs to go and I'll be home free! Yayyy!!

Hello everyone my name is Kimberly i'm from California and I was just banded a few days ago. I have come to this site for so many questions I needed answers for and have appreciated being able to read into other peoples experiences and journey's. So much that I decided I should share mine. I'm looking forward to chatting with you all....

Looks like we have a lot in common other than our banding date... I'd love to continue chatting you about your progress etc. we are close in age,weight and goal weight!

Hi! I was banded on November 2nd and i'm feeling fine. I haven't had any of the side effects that most people post about (yet). I wasn't able to stick to the pre-op diet so technically I haven't had anything but Water Jello and Protein Shakes (started yesterday) and i'm still not having any hunger pains. The hardest part is seeing my children eating foods I love to eat it's hard controlling my desires!!! How are things for you?? I'm Kimberly by the way!_
