I had my 2nd fill day before Thanksgiving. Since then I have been having a REALLY hard time. In the mornings - I can not even get water down... As the day goes on I can get some water down and then maybe just some yogurt (way later in the day). When I have tried to eat ANYthing (and believe me I am chewing VERY well) I am PBing it or vomitting - every single time. Obviously it sounds like I am too tight right? But what I am confused about is that I have only lost 5 pounds in over a month of eating nothing... So this is why I don't want to get an unfill... Advice??

That is hilarious! I too got married in the midst of it all! I got married 9/6 - oprdered my dress in March and it came in June - and first fitting I had lost 40... Luckily I was in the process of getting the lap band when I ordered my dress - because I ordered it a sz smaller and made sure to get a corsette (sp?) back! So it ended up working perfectly! Thank Goodness!

Thank You!!! That helps a lot! I have an appt 1/15 - so I think I am going to ask him to take some out! It makes sense that when it is too tight you make poor food choices - because you will just eat whatever goes down (icecream) :thumbup: Thanks Again!!

I know how you feel Zeama! I get discouraged at times too (a lot lately). And sometimes coming on here doesn't help!!!! It makes you feel worse! I know - because you get those "over the top" (for lack of better words) people who can just do it all so perfect (or they say they do) with no mistakes and that they have all their old habbits kicked. Well I don't!!! Everyone has a different story, and maybe you shouldn't focus on just the bad! you have done so good already, and Why not just focus on a weightloss for the summer months rather than so close to the holidays!!! I mean lets face it - its the time of year to eat and sleep! :cool: I have a weakness for the holidays too! And I am sure there are a lot of us who are going to have a tough time with the holidays - but I know we will get through it - and if we don't get through perfectly - well we can start over! You have done great! Just remember that!

Hi Everyone! I was banded July 3rd 2008! I just found this sight last week. I was so happy to see there is a July fourum! I love seeing everyone progress and stories!

I am so bummed. I had the lapband put in July 3rd. I have lost around 50. And I was starting to feel so good... but lately I have been feeling like I am failing. I have been so hungry all the time. I went to my surgeon 2 weeks ago and he told me to wait another month before a fill. I have only had 1 fill and I just think it was a big mistake. I have been eating way too much. I am just so worried I am screwing everything up, and then I am getting so worried that I feel like everything I have been eating is terrible. Blahhh - I just wonder if it is PMS :angry_smile: that is what I am hoping.... hehe- But I absolutely can not wait until my next fill. Then I was chatting the other day on here and the people in the chat room made me feel even worse. So now I am even more concerned. Does everyone never eat anything bad for them? I mean I VERY RARELY have had a "treat" but that still must be too much. I feel like I have fallen off the wagon or something... And then I wonder - well why is it so hard for me not to eat... why am i hungry all the time.. I wasnt feeling this the past 4 months. Well I just have to be patient until the day before Thanksgiving - my next fill! And thank God! None of that junk for me then!

Hello! I was just searching the internet trying to find others with Lap Band so I could have someone to talk to. I don't know any people around me that have had weight loss surgery and Succeeded. I know of several people who had weight loss surgery and failed - miserably... So that is constantly on my mind... I don't want to fail and I figure finding others to talk to would be a great help. Especially when I think so often that I will somehow screw it all up. So far all has been great... I have only had one fill. I go for another the day before Thanksgiving... and can't wait... I know I am eating more than I should - and that worries me! So much... I just try and take it day to day. I would love to lose 100 more but I would "settle" for 75 more.
