I Did It!

[JMV 35]

I just had to share that I created a plan, I have stayed with my plan, today I weighed and I hit my goal of 175 pounds before Sept 1st! (The scale really has 174.4) but I am so happy I cried. It's been a long time for me to be where I am and I am just so thankful!

Thank you so much, everyone. It has been work but well worth it and lurking the forum and reading the posts has really helped.

Tricia, you WILL get there (here) and it is a great feeling! Best of luck to you and just keep going!

I need some serious help I am so discouraged with the whole thing. I hate my lapband I am spitting up all the time and there is so much I am unable to eat. What should I do? Has anyone been there

[JMV 35]

kiki, don't get discouraged. I was banded in Nov 2010 and I had only lost 10 pounds and I think the majority of that was from stopping my Dr. Pepper addiction. Some life-changing events caused me to keep my band but just have it empty until things settled down. In March of this year, I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss having my band removed. We talked about it and I had a fill instead and set up my goals. I've been doing what I am supposed to do, had my fills and this is where I am today.

If you are getting sick, you could be too tight. Have you talked to your doctor? You are supposed to be able to eat but just control the portions. Proper nutrition intake, Water and NO empty calories combined with exercise and you should start to see positive results! Hang in there...you CAN do this!
