Well happy birthday weekend to me! Still at 285pds.. Started this journey 11 years ago at 275.. Gotta get back on track! Lots of death in my family and depression. I've tried intermittent fasting but doctor says my menopause is the problem no matter what I do! Junk food is my enemy! I wish I had known you can still eat whatever you like after being banded. I would never of done this. Any suggestions are welcomed.. Just turned 59 with a disability. Can't exercise much... Please help.. Should I just do protein shakes?

Good for you!

Thanks a lot! Never heard anyone say too MUCH weight loss.🤣😂

After a series of exrays my band was not in any danger And did not slip..I Just wanna know how much fluid is a good amount

Hello chips and dip! ARRGGG...

thanks shauna but my doctor just wants that insurance dollar and im out of it!.. no need for fills im at a sweet spot...i need to stay with my support groups. and keep the sliders out the house! so true..need that light bulb to switch back on..i think it has!

Yes thats what sliders are..and mine are salty snacks..chips and dip,,i dont care for sweets.. and yes b52 i know what to do.mayb im in the wrong chat forum...i just wanted some encouragement..and although im not as anal about it as i was 2 years ago. a lot has changed in my life and got distracted.. major life changes came about ..but i tackled them and im ready to get back in there..liquid diet here i come!

How do I get back on track after 2 years post op!!!!!!!!! I just dont have the motivation I used to! I have gained all of my weight back with slider foods and I still have my sweet spot!!! wt-????? I am terribly dissappointed with myself! I do great during the day with protein first and so on but in the evening i give into my emotions and its chips and dip I go!!! I am seriously thinking about going back on the liquid pre-opt diet..i lost 27 in that month..mayb this will jump start my motivation...I definitely feel better when im on liquids than food...if i dont open my stoma before i eat with something warm I cant eat but a few bites..OH but the sliders go down with no problem!!
