Don't let your setbacks.....be setbacks!!!!

This is for those you who are have been going along good with your lapband and something happened to get you off track. I was banded Aug 2010...losing weight very well. Down 65 pounds lost forever. I then begin to have reflux like never before....I couldn't even eat ice chips. I called my doctor and he feels my band may have slipped....he had to open my band completely up...so now I have no restriction.....I have to wait 6 weeks before he will fill me again. Other problems begin to happen also, I tore my menicus in my left knee and may have to have surgery.....now I can't do any cardio... In the last 2 weeks I have gained 6 pounds....due to the fact I am open and my hunger has returned....and I can't exercise. Today, I had the most peaceful thought. "Don't let my setback be setbacks" I can look at this 2 ways.....I can feel sorry for myself or move forward. I am choosing to move forward. Eventhough my hunger has returned and I can't exercise... I can do SOMETHING!!!!! I can take the tools I have learned since Aug 2010 and work them. Or I can choose to feel sorry for myself and allow myself gain weight back until my next fill. I am moving forward. I just wanted to encourage those of you that have been in "band hell" that you can choose to do what is best for you!!!! It may be a temporary set back but not a permanent setback!!!! Go forward and do the best you can....keep moving...keep exercising....walk....do upper body....hula hoop....cardio....eat better and clean....leave the ice cream alone....DO SOMETHING. Move Forward.....Spouse of TEJ!
