    I Realize I Need A Support Group

    I was banded on April 23, 2012. I'll be updating my profile with all the details later on today because I want to be open about everything. Initially the weight came off really fast. At first, my band was too tight so I threw up for three days after surgery. That was a nightmare!! I lost over 20 lbs in three weeks. It was crazy. I should have scheduled my next fill earlier because at almost 9 weeks, I have NO RESTRICTION and I'm back to my old habits. It's horrible. I really thought the old habits were gone. What I realize is that I didn't eat the old stuff because I couldn't eat it. I know this is only a tool and I don't want to go backwards. That is why I'm reaching out today and joining this group. i have realized so much about myself since this surgery. I didn't think I was an emotional eater....I AM!! So I have realized that I really have to go deep inside myself to remove "food" as my cure. I love the feeling of not being hungry, but I need to do better when this year is up? If anyone has been banded over the year, how are you doing? Do you still get fills? Are you able to eat the small portions without the fills?
