Feeling down and out...HELP!

[mrsjordan4jim 0]

August 4th, will be 6 years with the band, things went super well I lost 150lbs!! I started out at 320lbs. I went from a 26-28 pants and 4-5x shirts down to 18 pants and L-XL shirt =)

then I sorta gave in?? My surgeons moved to different hospitals and out of state, I started drinking pop again, eating things I shouldn't. I'm so lost.. I need to find a new doctor, get that will power again.. I'm so upset with myself and I'm at 230-240 again =(

Until you can find a new doctor, start cutting back. Try a liquid diet (just like before getting banded) and then start back the soft/mushy/regular stages. Just like after surgery. You can do it.

Instead of completely changing your diet to liquids overnight, which is very hard to do, try cutting back 20% of your unhealthy foods and beverages for 2 weeks... On the 3rd week, cut back to 30% , 4th week.......... well, you get it. It's much easier to adapt new habits if you do a little at a time, but STICK WITH IT !!!! You can do this !!! Good luck !!

I agree with the above but until you find a new Dr, a very good Dr, and or a good bariatric nutritionist, this is going to be tough. You can do it, but visiting with a bariatric professional can give you the confidence you obviously need?
