Hi Everybody!
My name is Amy and I got my band last October. I know that the band is a tool and I feel up until now I have not used it properly. I knew that losing weight was not going to happen overnight and it would take lots of hard work and yet....since I was banded almost 4 months ago, I have only lost 15lbs. I do have several stressors in my life, the main one being that my husband is currently in Afghanistan but that shouldn't be an excuse!
I have had two fills and I go back on the 21st of this month for my third. I feel like a failure and a dummy for spending the money on this surgery and not getting any healthier. My nutritionist put me on a low carb diet and its probably the hardest thing diet wise I've EVER done. Please someone, anyone, tell me I'm not alone in that I'm still hungry and I don't feel any fuller even having the band! I don't know if its because its not tight enough or what, but I am seriously frustrated!
I want to lose weight and get in shape so that when my husband gets home later this year, we can do a Warrior Dash together. I need some positive stories!! Annndddd.......GO!
