I began gaining weight as a pre-teen and by high school I weighed 265 pounds. After trying every diet out there and continuously failing, I looked at surgery. It took me almost 2 years to save up enough money to have the lapband surgery.

I was banded October 2007 with a starting weight of 320 pounds, size 28. I lost just over 80 pounds in the first year. Then I lost about 20 pounds the next year, and about 10 pound in the third year. Since then, I had pretty much floated at about the same weight...gaining and loosing the same 5 pounds and a size 14-16. My lowest weight was right at 200 pounds.

Last year I had entered into and ended a bad relationship and had gotten pretty depressed. I ended up putting on about 25 pounds.

Today I stepped on the scales for the first time in about 3 months, I weigh 235 pounds and am in a size tight 16

I started back on liquids today and scheduled an appointment to check my band and get a fill.

I'm determined NOT to regain the weight! I will lose the weight that I had recently put back on plus get back on track to reaching my original goal!

I'm here looking for support and encouragement!
