Hello to all,
My name is Lela and I had lapband surgery on June 17 of this year. I started off great losing 18 pounds before my first fill. Right before my first fill, approximately one week before, I went to DC for a convention. I tried really hard to monitor my food intake and thought I did a pretty good job of it. Well, when I returned home I had gained 8 of the 18 pounds that I had lost. I now feel like I have failed at this and cannot seem to get back on track. I feel depressed because this is typical in my history of weight loss trials and tribulations. I was motivated and had started walking (more than I ever have!) and now that I am in this state, I can't get motivated to do anything. Every waking day I am starting my diet over and by the end of the day, have blown it. Everyone that has supported me is surprised that I am standing still. I started at 265 and my goal is to lose 100 pounds which at his point seems impossible!
