U guys I was sp excited abt having my lapband surgery. Just the thought of losing weight and putting on stylish clothes and feeling good abt myself again was like a dream to come true. But now i feel like im getting no where, it's been 17 months and i've only lost 47lbs im getting so discouraged, my start on the journey was good, then it just got slow and and now its darn right hard to get the scale to even move,i was in a size 20 now im in a 14 but i have been in this 14 seems like forever and a year!!!!!!! my goal is to get the scale down to 165. I just dont feel that its going to happen for me, i read and see of of u guys stories and results im like wow, i know their happy and feel good again!! I want to feel good abt myse;f again so badly and to be able top look in the mirror and be happy abt what i see looking back instead of this fat person i know i still im. now with new yr i said i got to do this i want to make it at my goal by or b4 my birthday in august. i know i have to kick it up on the walking and working out. but are there any other helpfully suggestions u guys can give me. i have a 10cc band i think im at 8.5 or 9cc, i still pretty much can eat what i want, i feel more restriction now than i have the whole 17 months i been banded. Sometimes i have a problem with getting some foods to stay down, sometimes it will come back up, but i feel i could be/should be tighter. I have to be honest ova the holidays i did now try to lose weight, now im back on track and ready to get this weight off once and for all. what do anyone suggest as far as what foods to eat and would u get another fill?? i need some help u guys, i dont want to have been went through surgery and took the pain from it for nothing. i have just got to beat this weight battle, it has taken to much from me i want to live and be happy with me again and i cant do this until i get the rest of this weight off me.
