To be totally honest hun..I have quite a story myself. However, let me tell you briefly. I was banded August 2008. Between August 2008 and August 2010, I lost 80 lbs. I got pregnant and my doctor opted to loosen my band to support healthy growth for the baby. In turn, I gained all of it back. Mainly because I lost my baby half way through my pregnancy due to some female troubles with my female organs and this caused me to go into a major depression. So, I ate my pain away once again. I'm not starting back over. In knowing that losing that 80 lbs was NOT easy at all..I kept pushing and to be back at basically where I started does not infuriate me, does not mean I'm a failure, and it does NOT mean I'm weak. Even stil today, I'm a full time graduate student and I also work full time. I have a sickly mother I take care of but yet..I'm still pushing. Please don't allow your daughter to be a crutch for you. Just think, this second opportunity to start at again with a more positive attitude will reap even greater results. You have to have faith in yourself unless no one else will. Just saying. Love you darling, and God bless you and yours! :) :) :)
