Ok, so It's been several months since I've visited my page or been compliant with my lap-band. I've been so off track since December. I had lost 83 pounds in 8 months and since December I've gained 27 pounds back! I've been pigging out on slidder foods or "eating around the band" as my surgeon calls it. I haven't even been to see my surgeon since October because I'm embarrassed about my weight gain. I feel like a complete looser and physically feel worse than when I weighed 323 pounds. I'm not sure how to start over or get serious again but I'm definitely going to try. I need to place my focus back on me. I have a treadmill, elipictal, free weights and an exercise bike in the guest room collecting dust! I'm making a public and personal committment right now to get back to being on track. If anyone has experienced anyone like this or has any suggestions on assisting me in my struggle please don't hesitate to comment or e-mail me.

Congrats! I honestly hope I'm in your shoes in a couple of months. Send me baby dust. LOL

I'm exactly in your place. Banded 12/21/10, down 71 lbs and still feel extremely fat. I'm rejoicing in my victory though. I've went from a 26 in pants to a 22. I'm able to wear heels again. I can move so much better. Life is getting better in general because I'm starting to enjoy it again. It's actually happening for you. 70 pounds is huge! Imagine someone handing you 14 five pound bags of sugar to carry around. That's how much you've lost! It's awesome.
