Thankyou both so much for your encouraging words.. I have definitely realized that the demon I need to battle is not eating my emotions. How are you all progressing?? -

Hello my band buddies... I have been AWOL for a month or so now, so I'm sorry for not being there to support and encourage you all. I have been stuck in my own "poor me" downward spiral and have not been in a great headspace. I have stayed away from the site because as strange as this sounds, I have tried to pretend that I don't have a lapband. Silly huh? But I have really been struggling with the restrictions - the small bites and the chew lots. It has taken my satisfaction away from eating, and as I medicate myself with food, have found myself in a place where when I feel sad, mad, tired, or stressed, I struggle to make myself feel better. I have been eating the wrong foods but my band is keeping me at small portions, so I have not gained weight. But I haven't lost any either. I haven't had any more fills but am planning to schedule one for next week. I really need some words of encouragement to get me back on track xx -

Welcome!! There is a tab at the top of the screen for surgeons.. you might have some luck there. I'm in Australia so I can't help lol. I was banded on August 6th and have so far lost 41 pounds, and I can tell you that I don't regret getting the band at all! Although I have had success with weight watchers in the past, this time around I needed a different tool. Best of luck with your journey -

That's great! Is the plan the more weight you lose, the less pills you'll need? -

I take a couple of tablets but have no problems getting them down, including my multi which is a big one -

No I don't think I am in the green... definitely noticing a difference with this second fill though. Not in terms of restriction but what I can eat and how I eat it. Bread has become a little difficult to pass through the band but I have adjusted to it. My doc only puts in 1cc per fill so I'm now at 6cc in a 14cc band. -

21lbs is fantastic well done! I'm still learning with the small bites, and this last fill is pushing me to get better at it because if I don't bite small and chew well, it gets stuck!!! Up until now I could still eat normally with no problems, but not now !! -

Well I had my second fill today and doc put another 1cc in, bringing me to a total of 6cc's. I was also pleased to see there was nothing wrong with my scales lol and his scales showed a 40lb loss since I started pre-op. I'm very happy to see things finally turning around -

That's great news. I'm doing well. Getting my second fill today. And I've now lost 40lbs!! So happy to have lost 5 this week after staying the same for three weeks! I've got 4cc in at the moment and still not in the green zone. I'm eating more than a cup three times a day to satisfy my hunger so I definitely need today's fill. -

I don't know for sure but I've heard there is a lot of indigestion and reflux. It's worth still giving your doc a call and making sure everything is ok, even if you do feel better! -

Its hard to change a lifetime of habits.. I still catch myself taking big bites and not chewing well. Hope you're feeling better soon -
