Hello Lapbandgirl,
I'm in the EXACT SAME boat as you are! I posted on here a couple of weeks ago and our weight loss is almost the same. {I was banded 3-25, lost 33lbs.}
I know I need a fill, but can't afford one right now. My problem is portion control and eating around the band. I am trying to 'be good' but it's hard with very little restriction.
I don't want to mess this up and I do get discouraged, but I am going to get my crap together [day by day.]
Just know that you are NOT alone, you can PM me any time you'd like. Take care, Darlene
