i WAS BANDED IN 12/11/06 I FEEL SO AWFUL BECAUSE THE ONLY THING I HAVE LOST WAS 42LBS., BUT I WILL NOT TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD, I LOOK SO MUCH BETTER EVEN IF I HAVE TO SAY SO MYSELF. I HAVE CHEATED SO MUCH BY EATING WHOLE BOXES OF ICE CREAM DAILY AT TIMES. I STARTED BACK WORKING OUT YESTERDAY AND TODAY. I WANT TO START DOING THE RIGHT THING. IT IS SO HARD FOR ME TO EAT meat, IT GETS STUCK AFTER 2 BITS, SO I TURN TO ICECREAM SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT GET STUCK. I DO NOT EAT Breakfast, I AM EXTREMELY TIGHT IN THE MORNINGS, SO I EAT AFTER 12:00. IF ANYBODY HAS ANY ADVISE TO MOTIVATE ME PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND OF SOME MEALS THAT IS EASILY GOES THROUGH THE BAND:confused::laugh: IS ANYONE IN THE SAME BOAT?

:eek:Re: Food getting stuck "causing and chest and upper back to hurt" I was banded dec. 10 2007 and I have really lost motivation I am going to start back over on the shakes at the beginning to the year. Just about the only thing I can eat is patato for bake patatos with turkey (ground) that work really well for me. I know I don't suppose to have the patato but does anyone have any suggestions on what to eat? __________________ :biggrin::confused::iagree::grouphug:

I am a religious person and when my days seem nightly, I just look to the hills of the Lord and pray. I can only imagine what you are going through, I have 2 children 14 and 8 and I know I will have my day too. As long as you know you have done your best to raise him, dont' be so hard on yourself. Sit down and talk with him, ask him to think back and see what wrong turn he made? Ask him about his early childhood, was he harmed in some type of why (not by you of course) maybe could have been a daycare. Just try and see why he is choosing to act out this way. Ask him if he is understanding everything in school and if it is anything or subject in particular he struggles with? Please get back with me about this matter or private me a msg. Well I for once have lost motivation, but I look how far I have come and how good I look and I know I still need to drop about 30 more lbs. I have set new goals of changing my eating plan/style. The last time I went back to the doctor, he stated that I did not need anymore fills because he has the band pretty tight right now and can tell. I can not eat breakfast, usually my first meal is around 12 or 1 o clock. I have set new goals for my self to lose the 30 or at least 20 of them by May 2009. I beleive I can do it if I can leave the ice cream alone and eats it by the box. My doctor says that is because it go's down with no problem. "So I am buying me carnation instant breakfast" since it is sweet and I love sweets in the morning Well I feel i am talking to much, I must say this I had the surgery in Dec,. 10th 2006 but I continue to do and try and get better no matter how far i have gotten I have lost over 42lbs but i went from a size 20 to 14, hopefully I will be in a 10 with at least 20lbs lost by may 2009 you take care and let the Lord fight that battle and Remember the Bible says: Cast your cares upon the lord and he will take care of it. we was not put here on this earth to worry I will be praying for you. __________________ Scorpio
