Feeling like a total failure.

I know how you feel, I got banned 13 months ago and have only lost 47 pds. I still have 70 pds to go. So I too am frustrated. I throw up a lot. Even on soup. Eating the right foods is hard when even lettuce make me hurl. I spent a lot of money (my own cash, no insurance) on this and really feel jipped!! The only positive thing I can say is that at least the scale isn't UP 47 pds cause that is the track I was on. So I feel blessed that way..but still frustrated. I've been working out off and on through out the last 13 months too.... Try and stay positive and look at the accomplishment rather than the finish line. Good luck to you! -
I hope you are feeling better!! I too was banded June 5th 2009. I have lost 37 pds. and I fluctuate with 3 pds. as well. I don't know why that is and or how to break that. I just keep telling myself that I am making progress and it's not about the numbers so much as it is how I feel about me and how my clothes fit. (clothes falling off is always good!) Hang in there....and good luck!

Hi...well I had my LB on 6-5-09 I have lost 30 pds...however, if I were to do it again I would take my regular MD's advice and have the gastric bypass...just cause I think it would be easier now and in the long run...but, having had the LB...I do experience stomach pain, right under my left rib cage...hurts to breath in. But, I can handle it. I know it's not life threatening and after time will disapate. I lilke what "imaluckydog" said...she eats small to be small...I would like to incorporate that into my life. I can tell you that for me, it took about a solid 10 days to get back into the basics of things...not the swing of things..that took more like 20 days. Read my blogs...it's all there. What ever you decide good luck to you...I hope you get the desired results you are looking for. Oh, PS....I paid outright for my surgery....I had no insurance coverage for this..if I would of gone with gastric the insurance may have covered it..... Just so you know...

Hi all! Wanted to share some before and 3 months after pics with everybody. Take a look. This band journey is a strange thing.:crying: One day I can eat and the next day 2 bites will do me at one sitting. Throwing up has been more of a common thing than I thought it would be. Still a little bruised feeling at the port site :eek: and have had more gas in the last 3 months than EVER before. I go in next week for my 4th fill. And I am going to ask about these issues. Total wieght loss has been 30 pds! :smile2: For once in my life the scale is going down not up!! :sad: I'm lovin it! :wink2: Can't wait till the next 30 pds goes away. Then I feel I will REALLY see it! And that's when others will really see the true effects of the band~! :thumbup: I had a lot of "bulk" on me and that's the 30 pds that's missing! :wub: If you have any suggestions or props, let me know. Always love to hear from you. :redface:
