kristi - oh wow i do that too lol. im very surprised i havent done damage to myself :/ im so stubborn that no matter how hard it can be to eat i keep trying until i figure out how. i dont think that will ever change. i just want to try harder not to hurt myself and be satisfied with what i can eat. im anxious and nervous to see my doctor (well, her assistant i guess). i know i deserve criticism and some scolding but i dont want it lol.

Hey I'm Kelly. Lapbander for almost 1 1/2 years. I had an account on here in the beginning, but wanted to start fresh. I have fallen off the wagon quite a few times and have my first fill in 6 months on 1/25. I am really struggling mentally with this. Still eating everything I ate before, but of course in smaller amounts for the most part. I am down 28 lbs as of 1/3. I have been up and down about 5 lbs since I hit my 30. I hope I'm not in the same boat here...Stubborness is my biggest downfall. If anyone has any advice or a particular thread I should look at, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Happy New Year

PS shirley, what MFP site?

kristi - that food is my downfall as well! thank goodness the holidays are over for awhile! in the last 6 months i would say ice cream has been the worst for me. i think i got more addicted to it because it slides right through. what i mostly meant by my stubborness is that i will eat whatever i want no matter how hard it is. which is dangerous most of the time and definitely not helping the weight loss. my biggest thing is bread. i cannot give that up. shirley - i do have a fitness pal account i deleted the app though. i use lose it from time to time but mostly to keep track of the weight. i tracked my food intake for awhile but it became so tedious figuring everything out. it is very scary to know that if i become thin i could gain it all back i know thats a risk with any diet, but after going through surgery makes it seem worse. at this rate i wont have to worry about gaining it back since i havent lost it haha. thanks for the encouragement guys

im in the same boat. banded a month after you and only down 28 lbs. most of it lost in the first few months by not doing much at all. i cant get food out of my head. its easier for people who have been able to overcome to give advice but its not so easy taking it and putting it to use. good luck.
