Hello, I'm new to posting and really wanting to utilize this helpful tool for my weight loss success. I had the band for 3 years before dealing with blockage and slippage, and recently converted over to the sleeve. I admit that I am weak and struggle severely with self control. Wondering if any locals know of any support groups other than the one at the Stockton Kaiser location?

Im in! And I'm a newbie... Currently 260 Target 245

Okay, so I am very newly banded (May 20th) and Im already feeling defeated! I know that I am supposed to be on my liquid and protein based liquids, but I have already cheated. Had a few solids here and there, and even a binge session. Have I messed everything up? I have my follow up appointment tomorrow, and Im almost scared to go. I do have a lot of pain in my stomach area, could it be that I have prolapsed my pouch? I thought I was going to do so well and I already feel like giving up. Has anyone else experienced this? I am really looking for some comfort and encouragement. Thanks!

OMGosh! Thank you guys so much! All of your comments have helped pick me back up off the floor. Turns out, what I call a binge and my doctor calls a binge are two different things lol. So no "official" binge. But I did fall off the wagon, and he said just as "CheckYes" did: NOT TO DO IT EVER AGAIN. And for the same resons. So, I am glad to say Im back on protien liquid and looking forward to losing more weight. 10lbs gone this week! The nice thing is, Im not REALLY hungry. Even when I fell off the wagon, it wasnt because I was hungry, I just had the urge to chew, and chew, and chew more. So I have no fills and yet Im still feeling good. Thanks again to all of you for the support. Cant wait to make some band friends here =)
