So for those of you who dont know i had lapband two years ago. At first i did well but for many reasons i relapsed into my emotional eating habit not too many months after having the procedure. Now after two years of more weight gain and much regret i am finally ready to give myself another chance at a better future. Im ashamed that I allowed myself to continue to gain weight after having weight loss surgery but i have to let go of all the regret. I have decided after many encouraging words i received on this site last night to begin my journey again. I ask that everyone please help me with this, for i know that starting over can be difficult. I am ready to begin a healthy lifestyle so i can have a better way of life. i no longer am doing this for my family who for years have made me feel so bad about myself for being the "fat one". This is a new day and a new me and I hope everyone on here will help provide me strength and power to finally end my bad eating habits and finally start the life I have always wanted and the life I was meant to have. thanks h

Good luck to you! Don't give up.

You can do it. You have a fresh start and a new year to begin getting back on track.

I'm not banded yet, so I don't have all the answers, but maybe seeing your doctor and getting a fill might help.

Don't look at it as a failure...a failure would have been giving up forever on your self....it is just a minor set back....jump back in and tell yourself daily I can do this I am stronger then the food...I WILL DO THIS!!!!!!
