Frustrated

Good Morning All,

Just some background info. I was banded on 3/30/09. I've had 3 fills; 2 unfills. I've lost 44 lbs so far. It's been a hard road lately. My third fill (2 cc's) was way to tight. I went back and pull out .8 cc's. Still to tight, went back and they pulled 1 cc out. So now, I have 6.5 cc's in my band. Now, it's not tight enough. I can eat just about anything. Dangerous road for me! My next fill is scheduled for 9/16. I am working out six days a week. Now, I am back up 2 lbs. I seem to sabatoge myself. For some weird reason, I am tighter at night instead of in the morning. I end up eating too much in the morning. I just need to get my head on straight. I know it's a process, and I am very happy with what I have done so far. Just worried that I will lose control (like I have so many times in the past pre-band life). Thanks for listening...:thumbup:

Just hang in there once you find the sweet spot it will be worth it. I can eat more than I should but just remember at that point why you did it and try to be strong :thumbup:

Warner1030 is so right! Just because you could eat a foot long Subway and a bag of chips doesn't mean you should! There are plenty of times when we could keep on eating with the only result being the effect on our weight loss. No PB, no stuck, nothing. You still have to follow your eating plan and work with your doc and nutritionist to reach your goals.
