Hi everyone,

I had my band placed in 2013. It was going well but then, I got lazy. Gained back some of the weight and now just feeling like I need some sort of support from those that my be experiencing the same. My band is filled to about 8cc and feels good with no issues. I do feel the restriction when I eat and drink Water. I think I just need to work out but do not feel motivated. I am starting to eat healthier and using green drinks to detox myself. Any suggestions on how I can pep myself up and what foods I can eat to get myself back on track. I am good with fish and some chicken but not into meat.< /p>

Thank you!

Teresa

I had my band done in 2011. and I too did great in the beginning. for the first 2 years I had my original 2mm fill . and lost 65 lbs., Of course I was terrified every time I put something in my mouth. I started loosening up food wise and unfortunately I have gained back part of the weight. I was working out before to try to get weight off, now I work out to keep if off, but somewhere between all that, it's no longer working. I have confidence in myself that this is just a setback , it happens, get back on the wagon, yada yada yada.

You are not alone, don't go by someone else's journey. We all have our issues, our demons, our goals and dreams. You are not alone.

I so understand what you're saying. I too had lost my way and am now trying to get back on track. Banded in 2012 and did great until the passing of my dad in 2013. It totally devestated me. But now it's time to start looking after my physical self again. Here's to a great summer of eating healthy, walking and success on our weight loss journey.

      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!!
