So here is a brief re-cap of my story...I was banded on 5/14/08 and my high weight was 291, as of this morning I weigh 213. I still don't know what my goal weight is but I know I am not there yet! I am going to start the 5 day pouch test today as I want to feel like I am starting over from the beginning and make myself accountable again for everything that goes into my mouth!!! When I started my journey I was so motivated, for 2 years I had no soda, very little sugar (birthdays, holidays only) but have slowly gotten off track. I can remember reading posts like this when I was first starting out and thinking to myself who in the world would put themselves through all of this only to "cheat" there way around the band and eat chips, candy, soda, etc....Well I totally sympathize and understand now, real life takes over and again I am making myself and my health first priority! Please if there are any of you out there that have similar stories and have gotten back on track let me know what you did to be successful!

You simply make up your mind as you have and just do it. I got off track these past couple of days and today and maybe tomorrow I'm doing liquids. That's all it takes and to just stick to it. I'm glad you're starting over. Congratulations.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
