It freaks me out. I try to have string cheese for a snack, but i am not always sucessful. I have been looking for a weight loss buddy to share these types of thoughts etc with. Connie

Hello, I feel your pain, and can identify with so much of what you wrote, I am not even 3 months out, have not had a fill yet and continually mess up. I had bypass in 2001 did great lost 150lbs, regained 80lbs had lap band on 2/27/13 lost 20lbs so far. My disease of obesity tells me daily what a failure I am, it sucks. I am looking for support if your interested let me know. connie

Hello, pray and give what ever thats got you down to God he will take care of it. You are an inspiration to me everyday, I think how incredible your journey has been and the fact that you have not even had a fill yet amazez me. I am not even 3 months post op and struggle everyday, but instead of taking my own advise I eat the garbage. So take a look down at where your feet are and stay in the day, the moment, the minute and trust that God has got your back. Connie

Hello, I got my band of 2/27 did great in the beginning, now I want to throw my self and the scale out the window, I dont get my fill until May 27, and it is making me crazy, I feel like I eat alot also, so i feel your pain. Connie

Hello, I feel ya, I had gastric bypass 2001 and i was just had band over bypass 2/27/13. However I did not have my broken thoughts removed, and I am still struggling, I cant have my band filled till end of May and I have only lost 20lbs. I hate this struggle. If you would like a support buddy I would be glad to help each other. Hang in there. Connie

Hello, I am Connie I was banded 2/27/13 and I feel the same way you do, I wont have a fill until end of May. I find I dont eat as much, but I eat more then I thought I could, not happy with that, but it did make me recognize the importance of excersising and eating when I am hungry not just because. I am looking to find someone to connect with to share experience etc on this journey. Connie
