WEll..........I guess I fit right into this club!! Coming up to my one year mark since my sugery and have only lost 45 pounds. I admire everyone who has lost so much weight from this surgery and I get so down on why I can't! But then I know why.......I can't stop eating sweets and all the bad foods. I can't get down any meat at all and throw up so much. So I just end up eating DQ and candy. Funny how that crap goes down so easily! I have no willpower, my cravings have not changed one bit and I do not get to feeling full after I eat. Just finished off a big bag of M&M's....and am not full I'm feeling like such a loser......and not the good kind!!!!!

I'm so glad to have found this site. It's been 10 months since my surgery and I don't think I'm doing very well. I can't stop eating bad foods...all the sweets and junk food. Funny how all the good foods get stuck but the garbage just slides down so easily. Sec... *popping in another M&M*... There I'm back now. Why is it that I'm so hungry all the time? I thought we were only supposed to be able to eat 1/2 cup of food at a meal but I can eat so much. I'm sure I've stretched my pouch. I've had plenty of fills and if I get anymore, I'll end up not being able to eat anything but liquids. Not what I want. I've lost 40 pounds so far but have not lost anything in the last 4 months. I have to lose another 40 more pounds but it's not going to happen if I keep eating this crap and being hungry all the time. Also, does anyone else throw up a lot? I get food stuck all the time and I throw up at least 3 or 4 times a week. And I still don't lose weight. I think I paid $20,000 to become a bulemic. Except that I don't lose weight. Any suggestions would be appreciated.........PLEASE!!! I need some motivation. Thanks Wendy

Thanks for your response Tezcanela6. I guess I thought this surgery was the easy answer to my weight issues...but boy was I wrong. I'm still hungry so often and I don't get that full feeling like I think I should after I eat. I don't know if my band is too tight or not. I can't eat any meat, actually I'm very limited with the foods I can eat. But it's amazing how junk food or sweets manage to go down so easily! This site is very helpful though. It definitely gives so much support. I wish you luck and maybe this latest fill will be what you needed. Sorry I can't help with how to add a ticker to your profile. I can't even figure out how this entire site works. I'm still kind of lost. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for your very helpful advice and suggestions. I really feel in such a slump and so concerned about all the vomiting. I think I will go see my dr. and see if maybe I need him to losen the band some. Thank you all so much!
