Topic: I'm failing and i need help!
I am almost a year out, after fighting for this band and loving the results, im having issues, about a month ago I got a fill and got something stuck in the band... i was throwing up for 3 days and finally realized why i couldnt swallow... i went back and the doc took 8cc out of my band.. i had 10 in.. since then i keep having issues with eating, im always hungry! i will eat my "band" servings and will have pains by my port and nausated.. so i keep putting off going back and getting more in. Im scared it slipped. im also completly ashamed that i have gained back almost 10lbs. i had been doing p90x and hurt my foot and since have used that as my excuse for lack of excercise. I watch 3 (ages 2, 3 and 9) kids besides my 2 (ages 2 and 4) daily from 630-5pm and by the time they leave im whooped. i barely have enough energy to play with my own kids, cook dinner and do my homework for my full time college classes.. I need help and i dont know where to start. Im spiraling down a path i dont want to be... please post if you have any tips, advice, or anything... i need to hear it
Topic: RE: NEW TO THIS
Yes. My suggestion, each "new" question you have make a new thread/post. This way it doesn't get buried.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Topic: TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST
Morning Everyone,
Hope everyone is having a good week. Mine is uneventful so far and that is the way that I like it. I have a feeling that is about to end though. This post is a daily reminder to us all ( me included ) of all the things in our lives that we have to be grateful for. There are so many little things in our lives that happen to us daily that we take for granted. Everyone of us has something to be grateful for....even if it is just that we are alive and moving. PLEASE feel free to share with us all what you are grateful for today. PLEASE forgive me if I somewhat repeat myself on some things daily. In the early AM...my brain sometimes doesn't remember all the things that I am grateful for. Today I am grateful for........
My Family and Friends and my OH Friends,
For Health insurance,
For my husband's job,
For life and health,
For my Faith and Answered prayers ( whether answered the way I want or not ),
For God's Grace,
For my OH Support Group and all the other support groups I attend,
For little things that come and go daily that I tend to take for granted,
For the weather ( although I hate the heat ),
For Eric Klein and Obesity Help and for touching lives daily here on this website,
For WLS and the hope that it gives us all,
For my WLS and all the other choices available to choose,
For the upcoming OH Conference in New Orleans, La. Sept. 9 - 10. You should go to it....AMAZING CONFERENCES !!!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

“Don’t be afraid to give your best at what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves."

You guys have been so kind! They moved my scope up to Friday instead of Saturday. I just want it over with because it's just getting unbearable. It burns so bad to drink even water. Thanks so much for all the prayers! That's what is keeping me going!
