IndioGirl 55, I have been reading some of threads since I sent you the e-mail and I can see that I am my own worst enemy...I am going to go back to the basics with the food I am supposed to eat and keep my focus on the long term goal!! I need tough love, my friend have been trying to remind me when I eat sweets (which was my weakness before the lapband) and now I have allowed them to control me again!! I justified it by some of the tough times I had been going through and not having my treadmill any longer kept me from walking, but it's all in my mind!!! Thanks for the tough love, thanks for the words of wisdom and most of all for the encourgement...any other words are welcomed!!!

Lucky 7, I have not been on line for a while, but I am really down about my lapband and needed someone to talk to...I have no idea how I got to this thread, but I read some of your support e-mails and thought you might be able to help me. I was banded in Oct 2007. My doc did not put any Fluid in at surgery, so my weight loss was slow. It took a while, Jan 2008 to be exact before I had an restriction. I currently have 7.5 ccs in a 10cc band. For about 3 months after the Jan fill I would throw up because I was so used to be able to eat whatever. It took a while to get back into the swing of things, but during that time I developed a habit of eating soft foods...fatty soft foods to be exact!!! Now I have lost 40 lbs and beginning to gain weight. I am so excited to be able to eat and not throw up and be able ta acutally swallow the medicines I am on that I don't want to be too tight again, but there has to be a happy medium where I'm not hungry, but don't throw up when I eat. Can you give me some pointers??

Judy, thanks for the good info...I was banded on 10/11 and I have the new 10 cc band. My doctor did not put any fluid in to start with, so I have been hungry from the get go. I got 3cc's on 10/25, just 2 weeks post op and the first few days made me think, wow, this is going to be good, but now that is had been almost two more weeks, I'm just a hungry as ever...I appreciate your encourgement to exercise and it has been what keeps me going because you feel so much better!! I have wanted to rush this process but after listening to you, I know it will come and I have to be patient so my band will last a lifetime!!

Holly, Add me...my user name is MrsIvo, but my real name is Terri and I was banded on October 11th!

Hey Jenne, I have just found this website last week. I, too was banded on October 11th and am going through all kinds of emotional ups and downs. I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks and have already had a fill on Oct.25. I have the new 10CC band and have noticed people complaining that they don't like the new band, but I was told it was the new and improved band and would be better, but I am just hungry alot. The mornings are not too bad, but I at night I stay hungry!! How are you doing? Terri (mrsivo)
