Ok my 1st. year banded is over and I have stared all over like it is the 1st. day post-op. I changed my ticker to show That I am just starting over. I have 50 more lbs to lose and I gained 9 lbs this last month. It seemed like I was most focused at the begining of this journey so I am starting over day 1. Has anyone else tried this? I really need to be as focused and as desperate as I was when I was 386 lbs. I need to get my edge back. eat like day 1, workout like day 1, need like day 1.

Bigpapa this is a great idea, sometimes it's eassier to see where you need to be rather then where you been!

I think soneone can get complacent and loose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.

So knock out these last 50 lbs like your a fresh out of the box bandster

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!

what a fantastic idea. renewed motivation is key.

many of us are food addicts, and like any addict, if you fall off the wagon, it's like you never stopped using, you start all over again from scratch. i am not saying you are an addict, OR that you fell off the wagon, just comparing how important starting over is on such a tough, life-long, journey.

great idea! Best of luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
