KabinKitty, at first I lost weight on the band. I was 335 five years ago and I went all the way down to 255 at my lowest. Slowly I started to throw up after every meal. So they had to loosen it and as a result I gained weight. So then I got put on phentermine which worked great for a few months and I started losing again. I ended up falling into the 40% of people who had problems, and my problem was I could not fill it enough to keep restriction without puking my guts out after or during anymeal.

The band seriously is a FICKLE BIA!!!!

I too was fearful that the little tiny bit of food was going to leave me hungry, but as you say it is really is just enough. Currently I feel a little self conscious and nervous bout my future success only because I failed with the band. With the band I either threw up while eating or sat there and finished my plate and either way it made me feel like a complete failure.

Little by little every time I go to eat and actually feel restriction and comfort some of my fears are eliminated. SO I guess over time that willl work itself out. I am probably going to have mental food issues for a long time, which is another reason I should go see a therapist.

** I really wish that I hadnt gained 30lbs in the past few months. Instead of 311 I could have been 270 which is what I was a few months ago and my 23lbs would have gotten me further. Now I have to lose what I recently gained.

DONT WAIT PEOPLE>>>>>SEIZE THE DAY!!!! Life is to short to be unhappy any longer.
