It has been a while sence I have been on lapbandtalk. And now when I come in need. I have lost 80 pound, with still over a hundread to go and have stoped loosing. I may loose a few then gain a few then loose a few and gain a few... It's not that I don't know why. I do. I am just depressed and REALY whant to eat. Now this sound like a post for emotional help. I need that but not as much as I need prayer. I lost my grandfather a few weeks a go (10-24-09) and had MANY minor helth problems. I am sure there is more that is keeping me down and I don't know what that is but I know God does. I don't know where to start, but I know God does. I know I can't do this on my own, but with God all things are possible. Thank you I appretiate your prayers. Karissa

Not doing as well. I found some lost pounds

Thank you so much Kat817 I fw your post to mom so she would have a better idea what she was dealing with, with me. I am starting to get use to it a little bit, I don't exactly feel better but I feel like I know why and I will feel better. I just try to relax. After the cramps eased up my muscles were soare and I still get charlie horses in my back and stomache. I hope that this info is there to help someone like the all of you have helped me. Thank you again!

Thank you for your comments I appretiate your info so much. I did talk to my Dr. last week and he said give it a month. My gyno is out of the clinic as much as she is in. The thing is the I had the same ob/gyn sence my first preg over 13 yrs ago and he left involenterily 6 monthes ago so I am hoping that my new doc will be better enough to be my doc untill I figure out what to do. I am just going to have faith that things will work out for the time being. Or untill I can see my doc. I have lost 60lbs sence Feb, 09

Hey June 30th people I had my first fill Tuesday August 11th. 2.6cc I was pleased. I had to chugg H2O while getting my fill but it was painless. I think it helped things are going down slower. Did every one else have a good experience? I go back in 6 weeks.

I was bannded June 30th and diagnosed with PCOS sometime before my sugery. My first period in July came timely 15th just like in June. I was pleased. July 24th was my birthday and the the MIGRAINS began. 20 days of migrains. Now today August 14th I started (timely yes) and the cramps are killer. My stomache muscels could take out a small country. I have felt like I had PMS for 20 days now I am haveing a super period. I can see how gaining weight increased testostrone so is weight loss decreasing testo? Is the Estrogon increasing? Will things work themselves out. And to top it off I just want to eat so bad. I had my first fill this past Tues and I could just eat untill the food stacks up my throat and nothing else would fit in my mouth. I have had cravings during the ever long PMS that I have had this month, but I managed to control myself. Today just pain (CRAMPS) and cravings. Any thoughts or experiances?

I have been a big time shedder before surgery but now it's double time. So I appretiate these suggestions.

Hi all, Thank you for your advice Bookworm, that is exactly what I needed tonight. My family celebrated my birthday today and I had more to eat today than I have had sence June 16th. I would have been ok if I had stoped at 8:00pm, but when the kids go to bed ... I just want hang out with some food. Anything that even slightly resembels hunger send a flashing what do I want what do I need message to my brain. I get so impolsive and just start thinking about food. So I can see how saying kitchen closed @ 8 out loud, to people can help with accountabilty. Fourteen years ago when I was preg. with my first my DH and I would sit on the couch and veg to the hilt only there were no veggies involved (4 food groups sweet, choc.,salty,and just plain fattening) Now he works on a river boat and is gone 20 days at a time so to sleeping kids and a snoring dog aren't great support. But I know you guys are here and I am so thankfull for this site it has been so helpful. I can go here and just fill a sense of encouragement and it helps distract from the kitchen. Thanks again.

Cathy, thanks for the reply it's funny how somedays you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and other days when it seems like there is nothing wrong in the world. I know the latter is less common for my self, but on the good days I feel like "I was sad yesterday,oh I don't rember why" crazy the emotional amnesia. Good day can't rember any thing bad. Bad day's can't rember anything good. Today's my birthday and I feel very bless. My friends called and wished me Happy Birthday. I have friends on lap band talk that take time to reply to my problems and concerns. I am thankful.

Thank you both so much! I appretiate your replies. I saw my theropist after I posted and I am doing better now, but your replies mean a lot it is so nice when you can just kind of pour your heart out and there is someone out there who understands. The lapband alone puts a spin on who understands what each day is like. I have a lot to be thankful for and your reply is one of those things. Thanks for the encouragement.
