Anyone from the Bronx or White plains NY

[Carfigure 3]

Well I am 3 weeks post op today was wondering if there are any ppl from the Bronx or White plains NY I really need some motivation. I was really excited about the band before I got it but now I am not sure. I don't have any restrictions what so ever and feeling like this was a waste I know I have to wait for my fill to feel some type of restriction but it can come to soon. I just want not to be hungry God this is why I did this. Any advise will be appreciated!!!!

Hello! I'm on Long Island but understand how you feel. I have had one fill and know its not enough, going for second fill on Friday. I have never regretted my band, I'm sorry you are having regrets. I've realized though the band is a tool. Yes we have all heard that before but you have to diet and exercise and use the band to guide you. I changed what I eat since being banded I pack my lunch every day! I go to the gym, I try for 3 x's per week. It's hard, not easy, but I have lost 30lbs since being banded on 8/11/11 I'm not done losing and pushing myself to keep losing. I hope to be in onederland in a week or 2! My day is usually muscle milk or Protein Shake for bfast. Lunch is usually Morningstar turkey griller and chobani yogurt, dinner some sort of Protein veg and maybe carb. I'm not always good, I treat myself when I want, and like a glass of wine occasionally. Good luck and don't regret anything! Use it to guide you and it will help you more than you know! Message me if you need a buddy or wanna chat!

Thank you for your reply. Don't get me wrong is not that I'm eating bad choices is just that I don't feel full I am suppose to be in stage 2 and eating 2oz of food which sometimes I do but its not fulling at all. I just feel as though I don't have a lap band. I can't wait till I get a fill and maybe I will feel better. I know the band is a tool but at this time i feel like I'm on a regular strict diet without a band.
