You have to understand that when you fall back to your old ways that you will gain weight. We all LOVE food. We all are addicts. You have to grab this by the horns and never look back. I keep a picture of me at all times that I can relate to if I am having a moment. When I was at my highest weight. It keeps me from ever wanting sweets or junk food. I don't eat it, don't want it. I can not trust myself to have one piece of candy or I will eat it all. I am not giving out Halloween candy just for that reason. Why torture myself over that. I will go to the mall while its going on. I know that sugar is my down fall and can never it it again. People think I deprive myself but for me it's not depriving its what I have to do to keep it under control. I could very well eat what every I want but I don't because I personally know myself and do not want to go back to my evil ways. You have to want this and want it bad. Pick yourself off, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon.

and it says about three small meals it doesnt say you must.

It doesnt say divide it in to three meals anywhere on that website you are assuming it is three meals.

Well I can tell you that you shouldnt be eating bread right now. Its not considered a mushy. We all feel lousy when we don't lose. Stop weighing yourself everyday. Weight loss is going to stall. It's inevitable. It will happen even to the best dieter. Mushies should be Protein not starchy carbs. I know a lot of people eat mashed potatoes on mushies but I don't push that. It's not a point of stopping when you feel full its a point of stopping when you feel satisfied. You have to look at that in a different way now. For now give up the carbs and concentrate on protein. If you have to eat carbs then try Quaker weight control oatmeal. Its sugar free and has 7 grams of protein. Eat eggs and I wouldnt eat salads (chicken and tuna) even with reduced fat mayo. You are trying to get your body in ketosis which is the only way you are going to burn fat. Dannon light and fit greek yogurt has no fat and 14 grams of protein. You have to decide do you want bread or do you want to burn. I personally want to burn my fat not hold on to it.

doxipupp whatever you think I really don't care. I have been banded long enough to know that reading everyone's post they eat way more then they are supposed to. Then you get filled and are tighter and still eat more then your supposed to. That is why people have issues with esophageal dilation and other problems. The pouch is made to hold two ounces if you eat more then that then be prepared for the problems. I dont care who doesnt like what I say. Most people eat more then they are supposed too.

Most erosion is caused because people eat things they are not supposed to and eat too much. It puts pressure on the band and causes it to erode. I think that most band failures are because of the patient. Being too tight and throwing up, eating too much, drinking carbonated beverages and caffiene, these all cause erosion. The amount of people on here that do all these things will end up with getting their bands removed. It's not worth the risk to over eat. You have to take some responsibility in your diet. People say nothing is off limits but if you're eating something that is constantly getting stuck then that product shoud be off limits.

I to came in late....but Cheryl....so sorry some one talked to you the way i see here...we are all here to support each other......if they dont want to hear what we have to say...that is up to them...but under NO way do they hve the right to treat another like they did you....God Bless you....

First of all for you being 53 years old, who are you to demand answers from anyone and I really don't care who you are. It's apparent that you are very angry and cursing at me or anyone else in this forum is wrong. Who said I am not at goal. I am 179 and my doctor and surgeon and myself are very happy with the weight I am now. Why because my ticker says I am still 19lbs away from goal? It's a ticker my dear and that is it. Yes I have been successful. I am at goal. If I lose more then fine if I dont that is fine too. Both surgeons that I have had both said over eating does cause band erosion when its tight and you push food in the pouch and it makes the stomach force its self in to the band. WE, I do not owe you anything or any answers but We/I do not need to be cursed at by an angry person who had their band removed. Find a band failure thread and join it. Oh and by the way you should really seek anger management because if you act this way to people you don't know, I can only imagine how you treat people you do know.

I miss Fort Lauderdale would go back in a hot minute. Just my husbands job keeping me here. I'm sure it is still warmer down there. At least I got to wear my new winter coat today in a 14/16

Nutella is full of sugar and fat. I would rather eat a laughing cow cinnamon cheese spread for 45 calories then a spoonful of that crap. You definitely need to read labels. Just because its says nuts does not mean its Protein.< /p>

Milk of Mag and prune juice. Black and white makes it right. Just sayin....

Yes yes you're not alone. When I look at some of my old clothes and I saved them not because I want to ever fit in them again but as a reminder of how aweful it was. Can you try to go to thrift stores or something to pick up a few things to wear. I got three brand new pair of jeans once at a thrift store for 4 bucks for all three. They had never been washed.

Yep got my heat on. In Jacksonville where I am it is 37 degrees this morning.

If you had your band removed why do you sitll come here? To preach that your band removal wasnt your fault? I think you're feeling guilty because you didnt do what you were supposed to or why would you be so angry about it. Stop harassing us with your nonsense because your now miserable. My God face it bands fail because people fail. And no I do not over eat ever you know why???? Because I dont want my band to erode thats why.
