Hi, my name is Becky. This is my 1st message on a forum ever. I am stressed out and need some guidance. Here is my story..
I am 29 years old. Was banded 3 year ago very successfully (lost almost 100lbs and was running and everything). The top priority for the banding was because I wanted to get pregnant and couldn't due to my polycystic ovary syndrome. So 1 year after banding and 98lbs down, I was expecting my baby girl. Thats when things turned. They emptied my band and I gained back 40 lbs during that 9 months. In the mean time, I was in nursing school. Stress out the wazoo. (I just graduated in May with my RN). Because of school, raising my family and working full time, I fell off the wagon. I did get 5ML's put back in my band, but have been eating around it, stress eating, and drinking high caloric drinks. I am now only down 27lbs from my original weight and SOOO mad at myself. I just dont know what to do next. Do I try to get filled again (is 5ML's enough?), do I see the nutritionist, or do I just start over. what do i do?? When I'm eating I do feel full, but the fat person in me decides to drink with my meals and push through it until I clean my plate. Has anyone started over successfully?? Just looking for advice..
