Finally went to counselor she has counseled lap band patients before so I feel better about that Ive realized that it will probaly be a couple visits before we get past the "honeymoon" stage. So in the meantime Im going to try and find chair exercises to do and get me backon track. As an update on me I have "frayed" my achilles tendon on both ends where it attaches to your ankle and to the calf muscles. So now Im in a cam walker boot for at least 3 weeks the only time I can take it off is when I shower... oh boy... I am extremely thankful that it wasnt ruptured as they thought 2 weeks ago when we started this. Im also trying to be aware of what goes in my mouth and see where I can improve small baby steps. I also am checking into changing lap band providers for two reasons and they both are equal reasons. I am tired of driving all over to have services so this one is closer and maybe I can get good restriction. I will keep everyone updated. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!

WOW I didnt expect this response. I have stayed away because I havebeen embarassed for having this issue. My Dr said I "should" be in the green zone I need to talk to someone about the mental aspect. I have never had, I guess what I want to say is Major restriction, I have always been able to drink water fast and keep it down even seconds after getting a fill. Is there such a thing as having a dr be to consertative, she seems to really worry about slippage. i just dont know. i think I will go to counselor then go see my lap band dr. I am trying to get back on track, my Dr gives a book she has put together to read about what to expect what to do so tomorrow I am reading that again. Im thinking about going down to the mushie stage and going up from there.

I was banded in November 2011 and I am having such issues I dont know what to do. i originally lost 25 lbs felt pretty good about my self then it was like I became possessed and have lost all control over my diet. Im eating stuff I shouldnt eating to much(Im beginning to think Ive stretched my pouch) I just dont know what my problem is. :angry: Im soo disquisted with myself I feel like such a failure! I want nothing more then to loose 100lbs and weigh 160-175 which still puts me overweight but I dont mind that weight I was healthy at that weight. i want to be healthy, get "rid" of the diabetes, high blood pressue, sleep apnea.. But its like I have an alien in my mind over riding all that I try to accomplish. Help me I dont know what to do. I actually have made an appointment with a shrink to see if they can help me figure out why I want to stay unhealthy and obese!!! Has anyone else done this????

I forgot to post this week but I made it in on the last day. I went for a fill on the 28th and I am back down to 260!!! wooohoo I made my goal, I also think I have made the green zone. I have noticed that if I drink to fast it feels "weird" cold water seems to keep me feeling full and I have ate some pretty awesome homemade vegie soup for lunch and it fills me up! 4 oz chciken and 3/4 c of soup and Im full!! WOW Im so stoked I am going to find exercise I can do now that does not require me to stand (Ive developed bilateral achilles tendonitis pretty severe) and see if I can burn 4 lbs off again this week

ok I went up 2.2 lbs!! I have had a horrible time with my blood sugars this week :blink: So its back on strict stuff and to see if I can loose this gain before Wednesday the 28th....

I weighed this morning and I have made my high end of my goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D 260.0 this morning I even weighed myself twice to be sure it was correct Now all I need to do is keep my mind from being stupid and keep the weight going down......

Sorry, I was running late Thursday morning but..... Im down 2lbs!!! wooohoooo Water aerobics here I come this morning...My mental chant this week... keep the scales going in the downward spiral :wub:

What is a good daily -aloric intake? I have started watching calories real close the past two days and the site Im using says I should consume 1200calories a day! i personally have not hit that but am beginning to wonder will my body go into starvation mode if I stay around the 875-900 calories a day?? Im determined to loose weight this month as I think Im very close to my green zone! thanks for the replies!!

name, real or screen Wendy goal for March 30th 259-260 Weight on March 1st 266 age 48 dietary goal for March~ eat smaller portions exercise goal for March~ exercise 2-3 times a week Personal goal for March~I will have to get back to you on this....

ok I only lost 2 lbs this month. However, I have lost 5 inches on my waist and today when I went for a fill I was told my fatty liver isnt so fatty anymore!!! Oh yeah that kind of makes up for being 8 lbs off from my goall. On to a new month maybe I will do a Leprachon challenge with my self this month. LOL

I dont remember where my weight was the last time I checked in because I havent weighed since then either but today I am at 266. I think I only lost 2 or 4 lbs this month and that pisses me off!! I have discovered that I have lost 5 inches on my waist since January though so I guess I shouldnt be to mad. Oh well a fill appt on Tuesday so hopefully I will hit the sweet spot this time. Im also going to start counseling and see if that doesnt heltp me with my issues....

I am really having issues right now. I was banded on 11/29/1 and have lost 15.5 lbs since. I have 7 cc's in my band I have a large band. The issue I am having is that it seems when I have a "good" weight loss week I am in "hand in mouth" mood the next week. I so desperately want to get to 250 before the end of March but I seem to be my WORST enemy. Does anyone else have this issue? Do I need a shrink? Im going to email my doctor and see if she has any ideas. Im so disappointed in myself i thought the band would be the tool I needed to help me get rid of all this fat ive gained. Please help any advise is welcome!!

Update lost 3 lbs so far! Ok I have 17 days to loose 7 lbs I hope I can do this...
