Hi all,

Im dsperately trying to get motivated and make a change again but finding it hard to be as strict with myself as before. Has anyone else had similar problem? Im worried i wont lose the weight again x

Go back to your doctor and your nutritionist. They can help you get back on track as well as make sure everything is still in proper order.

Best wishes to you.

I was banded 4 yrs ago and same thing.i was thinking about giving it another try for long time. I saw. Picture of myself and that as the push I needed. I went to doctor and they checked my band and even gave me a small fill. The nurse went over the guidelines with me and gave me a book. I have been very obsessed with being good. I measure and track absolutely evertying. Spent a lot of time here and in the chat room and have done vy well. I also only weigh once a week.i ave lost 32.2 lbs since the end of October. You hear a lot of talk on here about want power. It's true. You have to be ready and really really want it. You can do it! Remember it is a lifestyle change not a diet.

If you eat less calories than you burn you can lose the weight. I would get back in to see the dr and start over....best of luck to you!!

I also tracked my food for about a month and then took it to a nutritionist who works with my doctor. I have made a lot of changes but the main ones are I cook most of my meals now and have actively been lowering my sodium which means much less processed foods. I really feel more satisfied for longer periods eating this way. I also really enjoy eating more then ever.

Thank you so much you have given me hope that i can do it again. Just need to remember what u used to eat! X

don't think about the past this is a new time for you...get checked out a small fill maybe and mean while clean out the kitchen. come to the chat room for hourly help if you need to and least check in nightly. Its so much easier with all of us helping each other...you can do it.

Each journey starts with a step! Gotta get your mind back in the game and you can do it. Just think how differently we look at food now that before WLS...
