this just isn't working for me

The only thing that goes down is cookies, cake and ice cream? If you can get that down why not protein shakes, soup, eggs, yogurt? You said I guess you were not meant to be thin, however having a defeating attitude and not eating the right things, is not helping. However it is not too late to get back on track. -

Very Scared! Is this what STUCK feels like?
shoegal27 replied to hfrancis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome!! How long ago were you banded? It might be too soon for steak. However the feelings you describe are exactly what stuck feels like. Just stay on soft solids for a few days and you should feel fine.:sad: -

I was banded on 12/29/09 at age 59. I also know of somebody that was banded at age 72!!! I had diabetes, high blood pressure, knee surgery. I am now off my diabetes medicine. Never limit yourself to being able to enjoy your life no matter what your age. :wink2: -

Had my 1st fill on Monday on my lunch hour and went right back to work. You can drive yourself home with no problem. It is just like getting a injection or getting a blood test. Tiny needle and fluid injected into the port.

Banded 12/29/09 and had my first fill today. Have lost 25 pounds so far and I am thrilled. The doctor had a hard time but finally found the right spot
