Sad

[K6TYX 8]

I had surgery june 2012, I have a 14ml with 7.25 in. If I eat too fast I can feel restriction and usually end up bringing it back up. If I take my time I can eat too much (I think) so far my weight loss is 5lbs in total... I'm just glad I didn't tell a whole bunch of people because I feel a failure. I haven't got my head round this, I wish I also got councelling because the 'crap' food goes down no problem... any advice anyone???

Don't eat the crap foods. This is a tool. You still need to make healthy choices. Eat what you were told, drink lots of Water.< /p>

Also, I'm on a restricted diet. Mostly Protein. Small portions of fruit & veggies. I have a shake a day, and drink lots of Water.

I gave up coffee & pop. Which was huge for me. Doc said I could have coffee later, but I've decided I'm not going to. Caffeine was difficult for me to give up and if I go back, I'd prob would drink pop, which we can't. Besides its not reall good for you.

It's not a piece of cake, but if you follow these steps, you should see a difference.

k6, we were banded the same month

like the other great posters here, we made a huge change in our thinking and eating...how is your food?? the band is not about doing without

you are not a failure and i wont allow you to say that..so stop eating the crap food and change to better/healthy foods....if you cant eat, maybe a slight unfill..you need to be able to drink

and eat comfortably..

please believe in yourself..you cant do it unless you do that
