Sandy, we cant feel like failures, I felt that same way but sounds like you just have hit a plateau. I have faith that we can all get through this. Have faith and lets take this one day at a time. You can do it.

Yes, im now understanding that it is not a temporary fix, just like everything else. Its a helper, but I have to help it. Catfish87, thanks for sharing that because that lets us all know that we cant just stop. we have to keep going. Nothing comes easy. Its a daily fight.

Thank you. Best wishes to you as well. The holidays are a big test of how much will power we have. Enjoy the holidays and NY.

:DThank you everyone for every comment. Today is day 2 of my all liquid and im actually ok. after about 1.5 cups of liquid im full, not stuffed but full. That is a HUGE difference from before the fill yesterday. Every one of your kind words mean a lot and I truly appreciate it all. THANKS

I tried logging onto the other site that was lapbandtalk and it directed me to this site and I had to get a new profile... Ill be uploading a pic soon. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

I was banded January 2012 and everything was going great. I was down 50 pounds. Then something happened, I just quit, I stopped going to get fills, I stopped exercising like I was. I thought that the band would continue to do what it was supposed to do without me doing my part. Fast forward to present. I have gained 40 pounds back. BOOHISSBOOOOO... So, I went in for a fill today, it has been since around April since I went, and even then she didn't give me a fill because she thought I had enough even though I was telling her that I was still hungry soon after I ate. My band was ok, no issues, no slippage. So, I tried the whole 2 Protein shakes and 1 meal thing that she told me to do, and my gracious, I was starving, because I didn't have any restriction which caused me to just eat whatever was in sight. Its embarrassing! So today at my visit we did a x-ray and barium and she seen how quickly the Fluid went through so now, I'm at 7.8cc in a 14cc band and on liquids x2days and soft Proteins on day 3 and the back on track for a month..(HOW AM I GOING TO GET THROUGH CHRISTMAS WITH THE food MY MOM IS GOING TO COOK FOR THE FAMILY?...OH I NEED WILL POWER) I kind of feel like I felt after the surgery minus the pain. A new start. I need all the support I possibly can get from people who actually understand. The few people who knows I have the band are supportive, but I feel like they do not understand and im embarrassed that I haven't lost, but gained back what I did lose. Thanks for reading my rant and ALL positive comments and suggestions are welcome.

Normal. I still get pains as well in my left shoulder every now and then. Same pains from post op Gas pains

its a struggle had a few downfalls but they not strong enough to hold me back :-)

So I'm just noticing that this is a older post lol I'm on my phone :-\ eh..anywho...Heyyyyy y'all lol
