Starting our lapband support group tonight. I hope that it will help me to stay on track with my weight loss. I need the encouragement and reinforcement I can receive from helping others. I have had mine for almost a year, and really should have done better with my weight loss. I have lost 60 pounds. I can tell and others can tell, but I find myself falling back sometimes and responding to stress the same way, with food. The band is a great tool, but that is ALL it is. The rest is up to you. You can still make bad choices and eat too much. I think it helps me to not eat as much, but I still find myself eating whatever I want really. I need to get back to why I did this to myself in the first place. Still have 140 lbs to go.
Inspiration, please??

Boy, was it just what I needed to read this whole string of conversation...I am feeling exactly what she is! I have wondered for quite some time if an antidepressant would help me for a little bit with all of this. I was banded in December of 2009, and have lost about 60 lbs since then, which I could have done sooo much better. I have not been exercising, and for the past weeks have felt I can eat anything I want. Sometimes I can eat more than I should and some days one bite gets stuck...at least I know I am not alone in that. I agree that stress really makes a difference in how the band works. I plan to talk to my doctor tomorrow. I am a nurse, and I think that we are the last ones who decide that we need help like everyone else. Thank you so much for this string of words, I needed it so much. I want to win this battle. I really do. God bless all of you. And best of luck with your weight loss journeys. <3 Shaun RN <3 -
