Shelby you are not a failure!!! I was at 232 and went down to 150. Then crap started happening. It sucks when you have Cookies and chips and sodas staring you in the face but we have to fight to want to be healthier. Our subconscious is our worst enemy. He tells us that one cookie won't hurt but it will!! You CAN get back on track. It is hard but you take it one day at a time. I feel the same way you are feeling but we have to get out of the slum and start working at it. I was doing insanity last night and my subconscious said "your leg hurts just give up" I told myself NO that I'm going to get back to 150 and keep going. Get mad at the voice inside that tells you to give up. Good luck and I'm here with you.

I have had my band for almost six years years. I did great on the first year. After the first year I had health problems and was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I had a hysterectomy and after that I was depressed and felt like my boyfriend at the time deserved someone who could give him children. Granted I have two beautiful girls from my previous marriage. But it was and still is hard for me to be around babies without crying. I know it seems silly but that is how I feel. I made excuses for not getting back on track. I hated myself, I hated what happened to me. I tried pushing my boyfriend away. He proposed to me October 3 2011. Then I was like yes this is the motivation I needed to get back on track. I did insanity for three months and got down to a size 12. Then I gave up again. I went back into my old routine. I hate feeling like this. I hate having my subconscious get me all the time. We were married in September and I couldn't be happier but I'm ready to get back on track and I don't like the person staring back at me that I see now in the mirror. Yes life throws us curve balls but we have to be stronger and fight back. With that said I'm taking control of my life and not let my subconscious win.

I have been really bad at eating like going back to my old habits. But your right I should see my dr every month so I can get it under control again. I have a fitness pal and I think I just added you. Thanks so much.

Hi,
I was banded in June of 2006. I was down to 150 and so many things were spiraling out of control. I got engaged October of 2011 and thought ok great I will get back on track. I did for a little and then I fell off again. And now I have to get back on track. I am slowly creeping up to my old weight and I really don't want that at all. But I didn't know how to start over again. Can I do the liquid diet like we did in the begining or just try to eat smaller portions? I had my band completely unfilled bc I was having so much gas pain and plus went to Paris on my honeymoon. And I have had two fills but don't feel the effects of it. Any suggestions would be great. I am figuring out that I really do need the support of other people besides my husband which don't get me wrong he is great but he backs off if I get mad or upset about dieting.

Hi All!
I have had my band for almost 12 years and I would like to get a revision surgery to get a mini gastric bypass but have my surgery in Mexico. Has anyone had a revision surgery from band to mini gastric bypass in Mexico? If so how was it and where did you go and do they keep in touch after you get home?
