I was banded on June 18th. I did really well with the first month or so and lost 23lbs. Now I'm stuck. The scale won't move. Maybe I had unrealistic goals going into this whole process, but I really thought eating the smaller portions would be the trick and would be the thing that helps me. Some people who have been banded are telling me to go back to my liquids and see what happens, but I think I'm just too depressed to even try. I've been exercising, doing Weight Watchers healthy eating and it just didn't work. Then after my last fill I found I couldn't eat eggs or much of anything without it getting stuck and my having to throw it up. So, I went to a food that I know doesn't get stuck ---- potato chips.....they slide right down. So, that makes me depressed again and I'm an emotional eater, so that doesn't help. Then I feel like such a failure because people are like, "wow, shouldn't you have lost more weight by now"??? Yeah, probably people, but I haven't been. I know it's a matter of getting back up on that horse, but I just don't feel it's going to work. I also am a diabetic, on synthroid and just feel this will never work. Yes, I'm happy about the 23lbs, but I need to lose 80 total. I'm just really disappointed in myself.....
