Not sure if anyone remembers me but...

The Lap Band is such a failure for me and I'm pretty much at my wits end. Just looking for some words of encouragment or understanding.
I've missed you all so much.
I was too embarrassed to come back, you were all losing and I was gaining. :(

Hopefully I can overcome  how I feel and keep coming back here for support.

Love you all,
Sukie

((((((Sukie)))))))) Yes, I remember you.  We are here for you, hang in there and please share with us.  Anything we can do to help your process?  I have had a stall that lasted for 9 plus months.  Frustrating is just a minor word for the feelings.

Have you talked with your surgeon, do they have any suggestions for improving your losing?  Have you been going for fills?  Feeling the restriction after a fill?  How are stressors going for you?  Trigger foods?

I am thrilled that you are back.  Hugs

Hi Kathy!!!! How are you? It's so good to hear from you  I haven't really talked to my surgeon, I was/am too embarrassed. I DO have an apt. with him now tho, it's not for a few weeks due to my crazy work schedule.  I'm also trying to find a counselor who deals with food issues/eating disorders in the hopes that that might help.

How have YOU been? I hope things are going better for you and that your stall is now OVER!

Lots of hugs!

I am doing well.  Working too many hours and having a hard time with the word "no".  I am on vacation at this time, left town to get away.  Patrece and I are exploring Omaha, NE for a few days.  I am looking forward to warmer weather in MN.  Too much snow, slush and icky weather.

Learning to put myself first.  This summer/spring I plan to play with my quilting machine.  Take the time to put your health before other "things".  You are important and the only one who can make the important decisions that will lead to health and weight loss.  Hugs
