Thank you so much for your postings! I was getting to the stage where I was thinking of having this band taken out! that it hasn't worked. I was banded on August 13th 2008 and to date haven't lost anything! still a sold 14stones
I do feel some restriction and I have apparently 5 1/2cc in a 10cc, I can still eat just about anything! even pizza which was my downfall to begin with AND I never seem to feel full! it makes me very depressed when I see an empty plate! and when I use a smaller plate I still am hungry and find myself floating to the kitchen again! As last resort was going to try meal replacement drinks, but that defeats the purpose? I could have drank those without the band and does that mean I will have to drink them for the rest of my life?. My food lifestyle sucks! I work 12 hours a day and lunch is normally whatever I can cram in mouth and run out the door with! and of a night time all that is open is the local kebab and junk shops! I do avoid these majority of time! but the craving is still there! *sigh* What to do!
Well done to you wonderful ladies that are losing your weight! big pat on the back!, and a huge hug to you ladies that are not quite there yet!. Lots of love and warmest regards!!
