Starting Over

Allison M · September 2, 2007

Hi all,

I have been a lurker here for a few months, and finally decided to join in. I had surgery in May 2003 and have really slacked off for the last year or so. I have decided to start over and join the "band wagon" again. I struggle with head hunger and am really looking to have some supportive friends on here so I can be held accountable. Being single and living alone, you really have no one to police you . Any tips, ideas, and/or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hi Allison! Welcome back. I was banded on 08/24/07, and I'm doing great so far. I've lost 18 pounds!! Yahoo!!!

Question...how much weight did you lose when you first got the band, and how much have you regained? Did you get your fills? You don't have to answer these if they are too personal. I'm just worried about losing and regaining!!

I'm struggling some with the "head hunger" thing too. It's a really difficult thing for me. I was banded on 7/30/07 and had my first fill on 8/15/07. I went back to the dr last week frustrated but he said I had actually lost 30 lbs since I signed up for lapband. I didn't think I had done that well, but lately I'm not doing well. Any suggestions on the head hunger thing would be appreciated.
