The sucky thing is that I never ate a regular diet the whole time I was losing. I was on predisone and mushy or liquid diet so much....I never even got to try to eat a piece of steak or chicken. No, I take that back, I did eat some tiny bits of chicken a couple times) I think I ate one salad....it came up. I love fruits and vegetables. I couldn't eat them because I wouldn't have room to eat them after my Protein.....which was eggs or baby food or slim fast. I had 2 pieces of pizza. Total. Small pieces.

The only thing I learned was that I really wish I'd never heard of lap band. Randy is losing patience with me and tells me I need to get over this but I am so freaking angry I just can't hardly stand it. I know that I will probably need to see someone professionally to get over the anger. I am so pissed I can't stand it. My blood pressure is totally outrageoius. It was 210 over 115 the other day. I'm back on 2 extra meds. now, I have recurrent gout on my foot. Am taking prednisone coz of gout, can't take anything else because of kidney disease. I feel so trapped. I'm not looking forward to them taking out tube from stomach on Tuesday. I think I just want to go to bed and curl up.

Oh Carol my heart goes out to you..I feel really bad that this has happened. I too would really be pissed if the band failed for me. I wish I lived close to you so that I could give you a hug, but since I don't I'm sending you these..(((((hugs))))). I will pray that you start to feel better soon. Please take care of yourself...get that blood pressure under control....Email me any time. Later....

Hey everyone, Sorry i havent posted in soooooo long, but my life has been CRAZY!!!!! My husband and I have seperated and I filed for divorce! My kids & I have moved into an appartment, so life has been a mess! but the good news is I've lost 75 lbs since April 8th WOOOO HOOOO! yeah I cant believe it myself I started in a size 24 and am now in a size 18, I have only had 2 fills but i am pretty tight most of the time, pretty sure its mostly from stress but im losing so im not going to complain. how is everyone doing?

WOW! I've never checked out this thread because I was banded on April 10th. I wish I knew all of you were in here having hard times. There is a handful of other April Avengers in the main thread (Calling All April Bandsters) that still post. I would love it if you all would join in.

We need each other and this is a great way to get and give support. A few of us are now logging on The Daily Plate to see if that helps too. Many of us have stalled in the weight loss, experienced some band troubles and are trying to get back on track. Sounds like we all could use each other!

Please pop in or PM me...I'd love to hear from you!
