Hello Sept. 2008 Band Mates: I'm getting back on track. I lost 90 pounds in the first year and then stalled and yo-yo'd. I thought my band was loose but was having some night coughs. Went to Dr. and he added .25cc and suggested that I move any meds and Vitamins to morning. I think the vitamins were the problem with the night coughs. He also wanted me to keep track of calories which is a big trigger for me because it feels like dieting and I can get obsessive about writing things down. The nurse suggested the My Fitness Pal app for my phone and it's been wonderful. I can scan the bar codes on products and it gives me all the nutritional information. I'm so glad it's easier than the old days. I've been fairly faithful for a week which is a bit of a miracle and I've lost 7 pounds. I really feel like I'm on track again and eating like I did when I first had the band. Moving the meds to morning has helped. I'm still hoping to get to my goal weight by the 5 year anniversary of band.

Hi out there - I have not been back on the forum for several years. did so well the first couple of years and then got complacent and have re-gained a significant amount of weight back. I relearned ( or actually never forgot) old eating habits and stopped exercising for about a year because of arthritis pain. Recently rejoined a gym to do what I can and am watching what I put in my mouth again. I will get back on trackIII It's hard to think I did so well and let myself regress. I was so proud of myself but once again I have a whole closet full of clothes that don't fit. Need motivation so I guess I'll have to become a regular on this site again.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
