I sent you a message on fitness pal and added you on my Facebook. I am hoping to get back on track and have a buddy to keep me accountable. Thanks, Christy

Was banded in 6/09, and lost over 80 pounds, became an avid kick boxer and gym goer. My surgeon moved away and I haven't found a dr that has a vested interest in me or working with the band that another surgeon placed. I am able to eat too much and hurt my knee , so exercise is at nil right now, I have regained 30 pounds, I need so e support and help to get back down in weight. Thanks

Tea and coffee are both diuretics, so you will urinate more, that being said, I still count the water content in my food diary, but I mostly drink water and crystal light.

Hi my name is Christy and I am new to the site. I need some help and support. I had my band done in 2009 and had great success, as I wan an avid kick boxer , I lost 80 pounds and plateaued @ 170. My surgeon left town 6 months after my surgery and I couldn't get anyone to take me because they didn't do my surgery. I traveled 1 1/2 to get a fill from my surgeon at the new hospital he worked at and ended up In the ER because it was too tight. The doctor in the ER agreed to take me, but really has no vested interest in me and is really expensive and won't take my insurance only private pay. I maintained my weight for over 2 years. My daughter had open heart surgery and I had the band loosened due to fear of not being able to find food to eat in The cafeteria at the hospital. Big Mistake!! Huge. I slowly gained back 20 pounds and now have gained 35 to this date. I am back up to 200 lbs. yikes!! I have been unable to exercise due to a knee injury. I just got re tightened today and am back on my Protein. Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated, I am at a emotional low. What protein does everyone like best??
