boiler2759 5 Posted September 17, 2012 Hi everyone thIs is my story. I got my lap band last year in feb and I feel it was quite successful I lost 65 kilos (145 pounds) all up after about 7 months with a lot of training and hardcore dieting then I had my gall blatter removed and I have never got back into it properly I have learnt how to cheat the band and it hasn't bothered me cause I maintained my weight and I am happy in all aspects of my life. But I have put on about 8 kilos in the last month so now I wanna really get back into it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get back into it or tips on how to kick start my diet again. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted September 17, 2012 I haven't been there, done that. Getting banded Oct 15. If it was me, I would go back to my Dr see if maybe I needed a fill, go back to only eating a cup of food, starting with Protein first, fresh fruit & veggies. Drink your Water and exercise. You know how it works. You did wonderfully before, Congratulations! You can do this! I know you can! Best wishes 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted September 17, 2012 cheating (around the band). yep, it seems so easy to do. so how do we (get back into it). well, we just do it. like we did when we first started. as maddys said, Protein first, veggies and some fruit. (i never go over a cup of food at a time) but i do eat when i am hungry. i also drink all day long. i would say your loss is amazing. i am in such awe keep going. you have the tool to help you (the band) have you been back to your dr recently? do you need a fill perhaps? i wish you all the luck/success in the world as you are already such an inspiration to a new bandit like myself. just go like i do........one day/one meal at a time (dont over think it). if you think you are doing bad (cheating) dont do it as you are the only one who can control/stop that. have a great and wonderful day 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boiler2759 5 Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for all your feed back. I know what I need to do I just don't feel a need to cause I'm really quite content but I've just realized how easy it is to put weight back on so I'm back on my diet starting yesterday and I feel terrible lol but I've lost 2 kilos (4.5 pounds) in the 1st 24 hours so I'm just gonna have to pump up and get on with it and get back to basics thanks for all your support 2 Maddysgram and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
