Frustrated!

Banderster Hell is when the band is in place but not filled.  We are experiencing all our pre surgery hunger and while able to eat everything our doctors are telling us not to.  I just had my second fill yesterday, total 2.25cc in a 4cc band. Not at my sweet spot but there is some restriction.  Also had blood drawn.  The needle in the arm hurt worst then the belly.  Guess there are less nerves under my stomach fat.  Remember how long it took you to get to this weight, and normal weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week.  Long term is what counts.

 Thanks for all the good thoughts and responses.  I made an appointment for my fill, but can't get in until the 22nd.  Still scared but know it has to be done.  Walked 2 miles yesterday in 40 minutes and felt a little tired but good tired.
Thanks again....

Gosh, don't be so discouraged.  It took you a long, long time to put on your weight.  It will come off in time.  I know we all want it off like yesterday, but it "ain't gonna happen"  Just be patient. 
And yes, I understand being discouraged after hearing in your support group how much others have lost, but don't compare yourself to them. This is your journey.  It will be yours and yours alone.  Just take the time and enjoy the ride......and relish in the changes that are going to happen. 

Bandster hell.........not having enough restriction yet....and being hungry, like you could eat a MAC truck..just give it time........you will be fine.  And definitely don't be afraid of the fill......I had an unfill today......and it was relatively painless...like a huge pin *****  Not bad at all.......and so the journey continues.

Keep in touch!
