Not really new to LBT

[Zana 2]

Hello all, I was a member here quite some time ago and I sort of fell off the wagon. I have felt terrible for the better part of a year, just been lay and not eaten right at all. i had gained all but about 30 pounds of the weight I had lost back. About a week ago my stomach started to hurt from overeating and I thought what the hell am i doing? I am now back on liquids. I think it has been 31/2 days on liquids only.

I am gassy and feel exactly like I did following surgery. I don't suggest making yourself miserable prior to getting back on the wagon. But I am back on it and down to 203 from 207-217 (kinda up and down as is normal).

Anyway I am glad to be back and hoping my profile has my old ticker saved? Then I can see where I was and where I am?

Zana, I don't know if you'd be interested, but there is a new method to help people

get back on track. It's called the "five day band test". Look it up (on this forum),

and if you want to give it a try, it might help. Best of luck.

I am just going back to what my doctor advised when we started this 5years ago. I am losing so it is fine. Just hoping the band is ok and will stay that way. Kind of feel like this is my second chance and I have to take it and do the hard way.

Thanks Mimi and julia. I appreciate the support! It has not been near as hard of a week as I had thought! I am officially down 14pounds. No bouncing on the scale above 203 so that is good. I can not complain at all.

I need to just stick around and be a part of this community. I really did well with it for a very long time. I only ever had 2 fills and lost down to a size 7 and stayed there a year. So I know the thing works.

I feel much better the gas and swelling are all but gone. I have always had restriction. Even with only 1 or 2 small fills. I will stay on clears one more week, so til monday November 1st. Then I will go to smoothies/protein shakes for probably a month as well? Depending on how I do?

It does not even come close to sucking when weighed against my life, health or my band.

Thanks again!

P.S.

How do add a ticker? I could not figure it out before and I still can not?

Zana, Just click on anyone's ticker and it'll take you to the site and you go from there.

I created a ticker but I can't figure out where in User Profile to add it or how to create a sig?

[susan73 2]

I finally found where it went

I could not find it for anything. Thanks
