hi.. what's a good adjustment.. I need restriction. Had it emptied

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!

i cant get my band adjusted either because of this pandemic! this should be seen.. isnt obesity a disease too. ijs

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

I tried to Get mine removed and they talked me out of it. The last time I filled it I could drink water but didn't realize it was too tight until I tried to eat the next day And started throwing up no matter WHAT I ate🤯

Hello..newbie here but post lap band

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!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree timbergirl,. i was banded august 2010..lost 65 pds the first 6 months and gained 40 back..im so frustrated also..and had i known about being able to eat around the band i wouldnt of done it..i no longer have insurance but im blessed because i found my sweet spot after 3 fills! i still cant eat much at one sitting and have to have something warm to open my stoma/.. i used to be so anal about this tool now its just useless scars on my skin..i need to lose 75 more pds...i was on chat here daily gettin inspiration and i havent been on here in over a year.. now im ready to get off the floor , dust my boots off and jump back on that horse...yes carbs are my downfall.. but honestly mindless snacking gets me everytime! i do good all day and then BAM! Hello chips and dip! ARRGGG...
