3 years and stuck

Hi All,

I had my LapBand surgery in 11-05. I had a port replacement in 4-06, due to a hole during a fill! I lost 90 pounds, but in the last 18 months began gaining some back. I have gained about 20 pounds! I can't tell you how angry I am with myself......I am back to my emotional eating patterns....but in my defense I am in the middle of a divorce and heartbreaking custody battle with my ex. Being a single working mom is just so darn hard. How do I find time to exercise? I already get up at 5am and end my day at 10pm.

I am seeing a new doctor today as I was not happy with my previous surgeon's follow-up care. I hope to have a fill today - but am thinking my band may be too tight now and that is why I am not loosing any weight. Crazy, I know.....but I find myself eating mushy foods that go down instead of the Protein I know my body needs.

Anyway, just found this site. I am looking forward to visiting often and learning from people who have been through similar experiences.

Thanks for reading!!!
