Hi everyone. I am back in town. I went to London for 9 days to see my family and it was a learning experience. First of all, from day 1 I got negativity from the women in my family telling me I need to "stop eating" because I will "put weight back on". When we went shopping they told me I needed to have Spanx on. And boy did I let my eating and exercise slip. I reverted back to old habits (dessert, fried food, minimal exercise). Felt very little restriction the whole time.. but stopped after 1 cup. I feel horrible I ate all that stuff. But now there is nothing i can do to change it except get back to eating healthy and tons of Water. Goal for this week is 5 days of exercise and to go to WLS support group at the hospital.

I have learned on long plane rides I need to order the "special diet" meals the airlines offer. THe regular meals are very unhealthy. And at this point I do not think I can visit unhealthy or toxic family members for so long. The longer I am on vacation the harder it is to stay on track. funny how the band changes everything, isn't it?

@whymomwhy - Losing your job is such a blow emotionally. You must feel shocked and angry. I am so sorry. I find after my surgery and without my food "crutch" things hit me harder emotionally.. maybe you've felt the same. You have been committed to getting healthy and that has to be priority even through difficult times. I am proud of how far you've come and do not let anything or anyone derail that.

Hello All,

I'm sorry for my absence. My father passed away on October 23rd after spending 34 days in the ICU. It has been a very difficult time for me and my family. we are all still in shock. I have gained about 5 lbs and it's time for me to get back on track and start holding myself accountable. Have done some emotional eating but not as bad if I didn't have my band. I have a fill on Thursday. Need one.

I hope everyone is well. I need to catch up with everyone.
