11/11/06 (181lbs) - :cry I decided to start this journal to help in tracking progress, both physical and mental through this new phase of my journey. After 30 months with my lap-band (VG) and being told on Wed that my band has totally leaked out from the band, I am slowly recovering from the loss and mourning. I have to diet now in this period. I am trying to get my head right to cope by using the tools I have; FitDay software, OTC Venom pill to help with hunger, carring around my 1/2 gal water container, promising myself not to eat the bad stuff, reading the support boards (obsessed again)... and more. The moment of truth . . . can I diet again for a while til I get my 2nd band? Time and my weight will tell.
