Such A Failure



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i was banded about 4 yrs ago, i lost nearly 7 stone in 9 months, then had a baby & hes 20 months old now, ive been slowly putting ALL of the weight back on again

I went to the hospital today to find out the reason for it... Its because its leaking & ive got to go back to have day surgery for a new port

I feel sooo angry for allowing myself to put all the weight back on again.. But ive got to lose the weight again for the sake of my baby, i owe it to him to get fitter/healthier, but i feel so ashamed & low.

Debbie: Not a failure! You had a baby and a leak! You'll get it fixed and then you're back on the program. It's probably surprising you didn't gain more than you did! You lost it before and you can lose it again. You have the advantage of being so much smarter about how the band works and what you need to do to get good results. Hang in there!

Thanks hun, I am more determend now, Im very lucky to have a baby out of this & to get back into control again..

They said its a common thing for a band to leak, I just wished i'd gone back way before now & i don't know why i didn't, I think i just got back into my bad old ways :(

That's okay, you're starting now, no beating up yourself up! Take care of the baby and take care of you!!! You did it once, you can do it again!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
