I Am My Own Worst Enemy!!!

[zinhaa 363]

I was doing great and bam i was so tight that they took 3.25cc out. The heat really did a number on my body. Now I feel like I don't have a band in at all. I am still staying away from breads, rice, Pasta but chips boy do they go down well. I am not satiated for as long as before but I know I have to work my way back up to a fill. Now i am downing chips because I can not even cause I am hungry. Old habits die hard. My body is on autopoilet. Trying to gain control. So last night I threw away the chips and got up early to go on my bike and rode 4 miles. Chips still calling my name but must win this battle. I have come too long to gain back all i have lost. So I am not home and next Fri I have a dr appointment hope he will give me a fill again and I hope nothing else is wrong besides just getting tight from the heat.

I need to start going back to MFP as well.

Just posting this to make my self accountable.

I'm the same way. Had to get some removed Easter weekend (only 1 cc but it felt like 5 cc!) and it's been a struggle ever since. It felt like I had no band at all until mid-June and even now that I'm back to where I was when I was too tight, 8.3 cc, I still fight constantly. I was in the green zone before and trying hard to get there again, I just didn't realize I was there before!! Even with exercising I'm battling the scale.

June and July I lost one pound each but still not as low as I was. I went to the doctor Friday and they said no fill, that I should be able to do it on my own since I've been losing even a pound. It's frustrating but I know what I need to work on. I'm mad because the weight was coming off at a good pace before and I had to go and ask for a tiny more that I really didn't need. So now I have to suck it up and eat less and move more. I log everything on myfitnesspal and know I have room to improve.

Best of luck to you!! We can do this!!

Good job on facing your mistakes and getting on your bike. I make mistakes all the time. Good luck on getting a new fill, tell your MD what happened and how you threw away the chips and started exercising again. If you are working hard your MD will work just as hard by your side.

Hello all. I have been banded almost two years in Nov. came so far. Sickness and ME put back 40 of my 65 slow weight loss. Today I take back this fight. I am going to win the battle. Stay positive, focused and lets move forward on our journey.
