I had band surgery 1 year and 6 months ago. I did fabulously during my first year. I lost 62 pounds in total. I began to have some issues with my band, including severe nausea. They emptied my band completely and in the process, I changed jobs. My new insurance does not cover doctors visits, so I have not gone back yet to get it filled ($250.00 a visit). I've gained back 20 pounds in the past 6-8 months. I haven't been eating correctly, not exercising, and had gone back to drinking 2 20 oz bottles of pepsi a day.
In a commitment to change, I've stopped drinking soda (been 8 days now!) and am joining Curves. I'm just wondering if anyone has tips for eating and getting back on the wagon. I still have 60 pounds left to lose and feel stalled. I haven't found a lot of support around here because all of my cohorts went with the option of gastic bypass and have lost all of their weight.
Tips for getting back on the wagon?

Thanks for letting me ramble!
