Hi - it's been a long time since I've replied to any of the posts - but I do read them all the time. DO NOT GIVE UP - you mirror my problem. I am 58 and it will be 2 years for me in May. all along, I have done well, but since November, I have not lost one pound, as a matter of fact I gained 20. I was so upset and didn't want to go to my Feb. appointment. then I find out that my doctor left the practice, moved to Florida and there is a replacement doctor, but I now can't get into see him until March. thought I should just suck it up and go anyway - I can't be the only one to have gained weight. the appointment was very upsetting for me, and of course I shed a few tears. he couldn't get the needle in and said that he always does under floro (which my doctor never did and never had a problem). so I came out of there, have to wait 2 weeks for a fill - but you know what - I'm doing it. paying attention again, because I had a long talk with myself and decided, I am worth it. and if I messed up - so what - we are human, and as long as we get back on, it will be OK. I am still better than I would have been without the band - I would have been heavier. never thought it would be easy - but never thought the head hunger would be this hard. can't change it - but I can try. one thing that really helped me - prior to losing weight, I couldn't walk from the parking garage to work without huffing & puffing. I would actually count my steps, to make sure I could make it to where I needed to go. I don't EVER want to be that way again, and only I can change. (sorry for the long post - guess I needed to get it off my chest)
