  1. I had my surgery back in January and lost 25 lbs but have already gained 15 lbs back. I feel like I can't control my eating and sometimes feel like such a loser for going thru a surgery for nothing! I have learned to eat around the band ( as my nutritionist calls it ) and can't seem to get back in track.I'm even embarrassed to go back to my doctor because he made clear that he doesn't tighten the band if you gain wait...any advise ? :laugh::frown::cool2::thumbup:

    can't stay on the diet...not losing weight !!

    I finally went for my adjustment....it had been 7 months since my last visit. the dr. was very nice and supportive and made clear that if I run away like that, thinking that I can do it on my own, I'm not going to succeed. He encouraged me to go to the support group meetings that they offer once a month, continue an exercise routine, and eat 3 meals a day ( 1/2 cup only ).... I am very excited about this huge step, I feel like I was given a 2nd. chance so I don't want to blow it !!...so here I am, sharing my great news with all you guys...I feel HAPPY TONIGHT !!

    can't stay on the diet...not losing weight !!

    tavimew, you're so right, sometimes I feel like I paid so much money and don't even have the courage to face my dr. and ask for a filling. txfoxx3, we are on the same boat, so feel free to write anything you want on my blog, it's a great way to help each other. I know I suffer from "emotional eating" and had the idea that the band will do the trick but guess what, it didn't and I still have to keep working hard to get where I want to be. Nothing in life comes easy and the only ones that will succeed with this surgery, are the ones that commit to become healthier every single day. For me it's a big challenge but I know in my heart that I'm capable of doing it, so I'm not giving up on myself and will try harder with the exercise, protein shakes, support group and so on....Don't give up !!
