I feel like a lost cause at the moment. all my motivation has gone gone gone.........

Well I have been so bad of late,i have been to embarresed to come in here. Had more taken out. so for the past few months have had 2mls, then 1 ml then 2mls again. i cant stand it i want to be back up to 6 mls where i was before, but when ever my dr fills me up to quickly i just get soooo stuck that i cant even swallow my own saliva to the point that he has to remove again. So basically i feel as though i am starting the whole process again. and i have put on over 2kgs it is really effecting my self esteem and my confidence. i dont want to be fat again. but i seem to be making wrong food choices again. i just need to be good and stay focused, i have an appointment on the 7th may for another fill. but i will see if he will see me every 2 weeks untill i get back up to where i was. I have to do something and fast.

i was like that, at the begining. But after a few weeks, i found it mentally exhausting so i threw them in the garbage bin. My husband bought some new ones a few weeks ago. but i only use them on fridays.

Lellow way to go girl. you seriously ROCK... Well i am back down to 50.08kg so back to where i was a couple of weeks ago. Went to coldplay concert last night and a few little treats, but over all reasonalby well behaved. Good luck to all.....jo......

Im happy for you, i wish i had the same success.... I am just feeling very down with mine at the moment. got up to 6ms in my band and one stuck episode, that was sever, so had to get 4 mls taken out. so was back down to 2mls. went back last week thursday where he put another 2 mls in to bring me back up to 4 mls.. and 3 days later ate some toast with tuna, and got it stuck again. but instead of just pb it had to go and swell again to the point that i could not swollow my own saliva again. so had to go back in 8 hours later for him to turn around and remove another 3mls.... why cant i just get something stuck like other ppl and move on from it. why does it have to fully close off so that nothing can get through. I am now 6 months along in my journey, back down to 1ml in my band i feel depressed and annoyed with myself at the moment. When i was at 4 mls before i never ever got any thing stuck, i could eat any thing i wanted and did. I guess my big fear now is that every time i get something stuck what if it does this again. has this happened to any one else, and if so how did you go about changing it or working your way back up to a good restriction, my fear of getting something stuck is so overwhelming at the moment, that i actually have a fear of eating.. cheers to all. jo....

Well This week i have been a bad girl. I guess it was not the 1/2 box of cadburys favourites. or the thins, light and tangy chips, they did not tie me up and force themselves down my throat. No!!!!. Could it have been that i did not exercise all week. MMmmm I wonder, who knows, it will remain a mystery to me. Any whoooo!. Last week. 50.8 kg This week. 51.2 kg + 400gms I hope all have done very well this week, and Lellow if you are at goal this week i will of coarse after congratulating you, will then proceed to kick myself. Cheers all and good luck...... Jo........

Well had a good week again this week, although did not exercise as much as i had intended, due to tonsilitis, but am still happy with my results. last week. 51.8kg (114lbs) this week. 50.8kg (112lbs) so 1kg, or 2lbs loss. Im happy with that. Good luck to all other bandsters this week.

I was too tight and had to have 4mls taken out i was that swollen, and couldnt keep any thing down, i am now back down to 2mls in my band, and the surprising thing is, that i am over my plataeu and have started losing again, The post traumatic stress, i have over the too tight, has made me be super concious of my portions right now, so i cant complain, i feel great, and only have 7kgs to lose till i get to goal now. 15lbs.

When i found out last week that lellow is nearly at goal, it somehow unleashed my competative streak and i have been very good this week. last week. 52.9 kg (116lbs) this week. 51.8kg (114lbs). I hope i am just as good next week. good luck to you all

Oh i feel sorry for your dissapointment, but seriously it is a very minor thing to have repaired, do you remember the wife, out of every body loves raymond, i remeber seeing pics of her at the beach after her tummy tuck, and she didint even have a belly button. nothing, but now it is fixed, im sure once all the swelling goes down, and you see your flat stomach you will feel a little better. good luck

your with cirlce of care balkham hills are you not. My work collegue that goes to that clinic, has 9 mls in her band. she has no probs with it.... good luck

are you at your goal weight already, or still have some more to lose. How much weight did you lose all up, and would you do it again, surgery if given the chance.

you are so beautiful and humble an inspiration to us all. you deserve every success, you have just given not only myself, but every other reader here hope and faith, that it can and does work, you are living proof. Thank you.
