i Am Due To Go To The Dr On Thursday

during Xmas I Could Not Eat Anything Without Pb And Vomiting

know It Is Better , Usually 1-2 Weeks After A Fill Is When I Feel The Difference. I Want To Hit My Sweet Spot Also. I Feel I Am Sabotaging My Progress.

i Stop Exercising And I Eat What I Want. I Wonder At Times Why Did I Pay For This And I Still Have To Eat A Certain Way. Too Many Calories , Not Enough Protein. Well I Guess I Will Make It

i Know I Have To Change Again. I Was Hoping Once I Hit My Seet Spot I Will Not Be Hungry Or Even Wanting To Eat. Help Young Bandster Out Of Control.

Wow I'm not alone. I currently have lost only 20LBS since my surgery May 25,2007. I'm very discouraged also. Since Octocber I have not been able to the way we should be able to. And very frustrated with foods also.I have ahd a total unfill now for 2 weeks and really afraid

of gaining weight back. I went to have to have the Barium swallow after the unfill and everything seems clear. My doctor seems has if my body is rejecting the band I have an appointment next week the 29th, But I with just 2.0 fill I wasn't able to eat only at night and certain things that are not good for you, except the Protein drinks.It's as though something I was drinking or eating was causing a blockage. My DR said no power drinks but I was doing Protein Shakes in the morning because your able to add fruit or whatever. I have not told him yet I was. And he states that can cause a blockage so I think I may be in trouble. Will let you know.I hope you are better WE CAN"T GIVE UP ! Sandra

Don't give up. Do something different to help you regain your focus. Lately I have been doing a food journal and it has really helped me make better choices. Are you getting enough support from your doc? You have undergone a serious lifestyle change and it's normal to backslide a bit. Take smaller steps to your goals (like getting through the day without between meal snacking or adding in a pleasurable activity like a craft to distract yourself from mindless eating, etc).

Good luck!
