I was cursing along and down 60 pounds when it just stopped..Right before I hit that stall I started to drink, not like an alcoholic but a few a week. I had stopped vlogging, writing down my food and even forgot what I was doing. The weight came back SO FAST! I went to the dr because I was too tight, I was getting stuck a few times a week and having re-flux. Got an unfill then a small fill. Last visit was Nov and I was 219 today I am 241..I was down to 186 I had my thyroid tested twice! I am now suffering from all the crap I did before, swelling, pain in feet, depression and all over lack of energy. The band is there.. I feel it when i am on my period, it is tight then. When I eat Protein first it work..but I do not do that. I have been told and I tell myself I am a failure at weight loss everyday and it hurts my soul. I am so incredibly done with this and can not face this fat girl anymore.. How do you get back to the basics? How are you living with the band, I mean really living!

Thank you for reading this. I guess I am looking for advice from anyone who has gained them lost it again.. I need to know it can be done.

Congrats on you loss, she was my dr too. I am working on getting back in favor with my band.

I am 3 days out and taking the liquid Percocet every 4 hours on a relatively empty stomach due to clear liquid diet. First I noticed the reflux them slimming then I threw up and boy was it painful. I am switching to liquid Tylenol due to this and wondered if anyone else found relief from this type of pain meds. I called my Dr and they think taking the Tylenol will be better...any options?

I just finished my last weight in last night and have a ton of appointments on Tue, was told I am looking at a Feb date. I praying for a late Feb date due to a trip planned Val's Day weekend to NYC. It would be awful to be just post op and walking around NYC. Good luck to everyone!

McCandless here and panera or the northland libary are good places to meet.

I am reading this and thinking that maybe in the mist of the hour long workout you are doing kegel exercise? It is a great way to tone your body and proven to work..congrats :thumbup:?

Praying all went well and cant wait too see the updates!

Doing the same thing here and to be honest I feel like crap doing it. I have eaten more fast food in the last month than in the last year. I was only shopping at Trader Joes and local foods untill the banding trip started...I miss it and will be going back to it asap. I think I am over it and have said my good byes to McDonalds.

I did the seminar of July 27th and am a few days away from my first weight in. I am excited to get the ball rolling, scared about being scoped one day and over all amazed that I am going to finally kick this monster to the curb!!:thumbup:
