Hi, I had my band done in August of 2009. At first I was doing really great and went from 254 pre- band weight to at the time of my band. Then went down to 200. I was extremely happy and motivated and the monthly follow up visits and weigh ins were encouraging. I don't know what happened. I started making poor food choices, stopped working out as much after hip surgery in 2011. Before you know, the weight crept back on. I am considering having the bypass. I haven't been back to my surgeon, because I feel like such a failure. Sweets and milkshakes are the devil, but the sure do go down easy. Uuugh!!! I feel your pain, but I guess we have to get back on track. My dietician recommended to me previously, that I could do a week of just protein shakes and liquids to help kick start the diet again. Maybe we can start together. I'm also gonna start going back to the surgeon's office. I'm definitely one who needs constant supervision and monitoring when it comes to this weightloss thing.

HI Hoover: Sorry to hear that you are experiencing so much trouble. Stay encouraged sweetie. I'll be praying for you. Les
