We can do this !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow I have just read these comments from top to bottom and I admire the support that has been given and the positive vibes I want to say how happy I am to have logged in as a lost bander I needed this thank you to all and especially to lap banded because I wanted to go back to my pre surgery diet of 2 shakes and one meal to kick my butt but in the back of my head I keep hearing the surgeon saying no fluids with calories Thank you to all

Good evening I too am very disappointed with my band I was banded in May 2013 I realise it is not as long as you have had yours however the weight I have lost was prior to surgery with very little since. I do have restriction when eating good wholesome foods like meat and vegies or salad. But chocolates go down real easy. I do get support from my surgeon and the surgery nurse however the dietician is a bit useless and I haven't been back because she just sat there shaking her head saying I don't know why....... everyone else is losing weight. I see my surgeon tomorrow so I may get another fill? Other than this I don't know what to do I have considered having the band removed and having a sleeve done. I realise I haven't been much help to you but I needed to get this off my chest because I thought I was the only one having problems because every time I log in I see all these people doing well and this decreases my morale even more I am not sure about you but there are very few people in my life know that I have a band so I don't have a big support group. Thank you for listening bandmay2013
