So, I realized I was being ridiculous. I was doing nothing right. I wasn't eating healthy...and the majority of the time I just wasn't eating. I haven't been exercising and I've been stuck at an 85 pound weight loss for about three months. I'm done feeling sorry for myself because I need to get my butt back in gear. I did not pay nearly $15,000 out of pocket just to sit here and be disappointed in myself! I need to get back on track because I'm still at the point that whenever I look at my body in the mirror I cringe a little. I'm not okay with that! So it's all or nothing. I need to get off my lazy butt and take care of myself!

You guys are the greatest support. Thank you all so much

:smile2: This keeps happening. I keep losing determination. I've lost 75 pounds but I feel like that just isn't good enough. As of June 11th I'm a year out and I feel horrible. I'm eating wrong when I eat...most of the time I don't eat at all. I'm not working out anymore....I just suck right now. D: Someone please give me some good advise, I want to get back on track and stay there but I feel as if I have lost my support from everyone. I was way too young for this.

So, I went to prom on April 16th 2010 and wore a dress that was a size 16! My prom that was May 1st of last year, I wore a size 22 dress. Pretty happy about that.:smile:

I'm worried. I got banded on 6/11/09 and it has been 8 months since then. I have only lost 56 pounds and I'm losing determination quickly. I don't want to give up and I'm not but I feel like everything I'm doing isn't right. I need to get a fill but every time I do, I get over filled and it hurts like hell. I'm getting back into working out, I was sick for a week and had to stop. I'm trying to create healthy meal plans for the week but even when I do..they end up falling through. I'm scared that my skin isn't going to snap back and I think that's why I'm sub-consciously keeping myself from doing the right thing. I know that being healthy is more important than vanity but I'm 18! I've been made fun of for being overweight for as long as I can remember...I don't want to be made fun of for having loose skin too. I just need to get my head on straight. That's why I came back to lapbandtalk, at least here I can get good advice and support. Not even my doctors and nurses help me anymore. I feel abandoned. :thumbup:

So I decided to buy a scale today, one that is supposed to be very accurate. When I brought it home and tried it out it said that my weight was 268.6. As of 5 days ago I was 280. I have lost 11.4 pounds.:confused:

Hello everyone! My name is Katherine and I am 17 years old. My band was put on by Dr. Michael Snyder on June 11, 2009. I'm still on the all liquids diet but will be off of it on Wednesday. I'm still in pain but it was all worth it. I will be checking on Wednesday to see how much weight I have lost.

I live in Lakewood and I was banded 6/11/09 by Dr. Snyder
