Kind of in a rut.

Well today is the first day I have ever PB'd. I've had food stuck before and have felt quite a bit of pain during it, but never pb'd. It wasn't a good feeling especially since after I was still feeling quite a bit of pain.

I've been in a rut for several months now. Not gaining weight but also not losing it. Quite frankly I feel like people are looking at me and thinking "Yup another one of those lazy people who thought weight loss surgery would fix it." The problem is that I'm not lazy and I have tried to fix it. I have been using food to make me feel good for so long that now it's so hard to let it go. It's hard to let the weight go. I feel miserable being overweight.

I'm going to start with my liquids again today, because I don't want my band to get too irritated. I'm going to try harder and snap out of this rut I'm in. Going back to the basics.

It's been over a year and I've lost 38 pounds. Ugh it needs to be more. I need to feel more accomplished than that.

    I'm a newbie, TK, so sorry but I don't even know what "PB'd" means . .. in any case, it sounds like you have your head screwed on straight and are ready to begin anew - good for you and best wishes.

    TK, remember that those are 38 lbs you no longer carry on you and that is a good thing even it if has been a year. The fact that you are ready to get this back in motion is a good thing. Have you been back for a fill lately? A suggestion is to get back to the beginning starting with your doc's office and see if maybe a fill is a good idea. Take another look at what you are eating and how often. After a year and this is your first Pb then that is pretty good. I have learned in my short band life that when I have pain eating I need to take a look at what I am eating and how I am eating. It shouldn't hurt. I understand the whole thing about thinking people think you are lazy for having surgery but they just don't realize how much work it takes to live this life. I would be happy to help you anyway I can. I am no expert but sometimes an outside perspective helps.
