I need to get back on track. I've been completely deflated for like 4 months. I've gained like a million pounds. No only 40 pounds until my goal weight and I would be happy with losing 20. I think I need help getting back on track.

PLEASE GRACE ME WITH YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM!

You do not have as far to go as I do. Take it in stride. Be positive and kind to yourself. Make the band work for you. Switch up that exercise and have fun doing it. Change the food plan many of us get in a rut. If you have been banded the band does not forget how to work so work with it and shake it up. Try to Live it not Diet.. Does that make sense? I hope so, I have been banded for 5 months but I have changed and it is the reason for my change. 68 pounds in 5 months. So you can do this. So Get Crackin! Best Wishes imaluckydog

Thanks for the encouragement. I lost !00 pounds in my first year and now I need to get back on the wagon. I've have to be completely open for too long. I just e-mailed my doctor for a fill :] Makes me nervous though because I haven't had one in forever.

Girlfriend you can do this. So we all take little breaks. Just do what you know you have to do to get to where YOU want to be. I have had three fills and I have never been so tight in my life. I was supposed to get another, fourth fill and I did not take it. I've got to go back on Dec. 21 and it is unlikely I will get another fill. I know I am losing and for this I am grateful. I am working with my band because some days I am more tight than others and somedays I can eat a ton and others hardly anything at all. Lets Live it together. imaluckydog and I want to lose 100 pounds too Best wishes.
