A lil about me

[cjack 0]

My name is Carla and I was banded 7/3/10. I have lost 127lbs. I am now in the 150's and it seems to be a struggle everyday. I know where my comfort is and I now know how to play the "food game". I am sooooo glad the the carbs get stuck or I may actually gain back every ounce that I have lost. I tried to sneak a doughnut hole tonight and I have paid for it in the bathroom for the last 2 hours. The thing about Lap Band is that no 2 people are alike. Some may not have a problem eating potatoes while with me.... They get stuck everytime. This is honestly the best decision that I have ever made but it will always be a struggle. food has controlled my life for so long that I have to train myself to not let it continue to control me.

Carla did you looooose fast at the start and then sloooow down or what? I was banded 6/14/10 and have gone from 265 to 196 today. This last fill has not been very good, I can only get a few liquids in and solid food is a bear. I might take in 400 cals a day so I think maybe my body is MAD. I go next week to the Dr. I was suppose to have a fill but he may need to take some out? What do you think?

The weight loss has been about the same over the last few months, 5-10 lbs. It was alot faster in the beginning.You may need to go back to the Dr and have him back off on the fill. You don't want to make yourself sick.
