Here's me.... Banded 2008 Lost 80lbs gained 60lbs Just got back on the band wagon (pun intended). Doing complete liquid diet for a month ( I'm 6 days into it) and then back to soft foods. Don't know what happened other than the fact that I got back into old habits, started drinking alot and eating things I knew I shouldn't have. I felt no restrictions so I just ate all the fattening foods I used to and low and behold here I am only 20 pounds from where I started. It was money that got me motivated. I spent 17,000 dollars on this surgery. So I am back at it and I feel good so far. Special Protein liquid diet that is costing me more money. Don't know what damage I've done to my band if any. I don't feel anything but eating whole meals can't have been good for my pouch. I'm afraid to go to my doctor to find out. So we'll see after a month if I still don't feel restriction then I will make an appointment. I swore I would never be here again and here I am. Just want to slap the crap out of myself but I know that does no good. So I've picked myself up by my bootstaps and moved forward. I came here because no one knows what it's like. No one I know has had the band and probably won't after seeing my failure. Just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks.
