What does "starting over" mean?

[Wheetsin 714]

Is it referring to people who had the band removed and are now getting it replaced? Or is it people who have not been as rigorous as they would like ith their diet, and are starting over w/ good eating habits?

I see it in siggys - just wondering. All this terminology is new to me (but I've been studying the list rigorously!)

Mostly, it just means getting back to the basics and moving forward...kind of like pre-band when every Monday morning you "started over" with your new, or last weeks, diet! Yep, what you said about starting over with good eating habits. For many bandsters, this includes getting some type of fill, or a complete unfill for a time, then "starting over". it doesn't refer to anything specific, really. Just a mind-set.

You are doing great! Keep at it! Dang...I still need to get to your list of hard questions...I will! I will!

Yes, starting over is just going back to square one and doing the things that helped us be successful back when we first had our bands "installed".

These can include but are not limited to: eating slowly, chewing thoroughly, cutting pieces nice and small, making sure we're getting in our daily Protein first, having "treats" in moderation, etc. It's basically just being good to ourselves again.

Hope that helps.
