I am the same way...as soon as my house is empty (no husband, no kids), I run for the refrigerator and/or the pantry. I would also sneak to McDonald's when I was on the road by myself. I would eat as much as I could as soon as I could whenever I was alone. Did I mention that I love my band?????

Hey there everyone...I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary and couldn't be happier than I am. I thought that I would share a few pics.

Hello folks...some may remember me...I was banded in 2007, lost 130 pounds, had a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation and was the healthiest I have ever been. Then, on December 7, 2010 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and that's when the weight began. Following surgery and treatment I had packed on 20 pounds. My outlook on life changed after hearing "cancer" and I wanted to enjoy every minute of life and wasn't paying attention to calories and didn't take time to work out. I had also gone through a divorce but was dating an amazing man. Six months after treatment ended I was pregnant. Fear went through my body for many reasons...pregnancy wasn't good for someone who just beat breast cancer (hormone positive) and I was terrified of the weight gain. Well, after a very stressful pregnancy I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy (I'm no longer mom of 2 boys). I gave birth in May 2012. My LapBand surgeon said I could begin to get my band filled again but first I needed an upper GI. I had the upper GI and was ready to get back on track but my surgeon had other plans...he said I had a small hiatal hernia and he had to remove my band. I was devastated and depression was setting in, until I went somewhere else for a second opinion...I started getting fills in November and after my third fill, in January, I finally have restriction. So here I am starting all over. I have 70 pounds to lose. I'm sad but I know I can do it because I did it before.

Welcome back.. Like you say. You know do it again... just sorry you have to! You have had a long journey, but stick with it and you will get yourself back again!

I am the same way...as soon as my house is empty (no husband, no kids), I run for the refrigerator and/or the pantry. I would also sneak to McDonald's when I was on the road by myself. I would eat as much as I could as soon as I could whenever I was alone. Did I mention that I love my band?????

Thank you everyone. I am having a really tough time of it these past couple of days. I sit at my desk at work and I cry. I cannot believe that my entire world is changed forever. Did I mention that the skank is also married with 3 kids? How in the world can another woman do that? Am I from another planet or something. The pain is just unbearable and it's not fair. The confidence that I have built in myself over the last year while losing weight has been destroyed. I find myself going out on the weekends because I get complimented by other men about how good I look. I would never act on any of those invitations to leave with anyone, but the compliments sure are nice. At this point, I don't feel that I could ever be intimate with my husband again. The thought of it just makes me sick to my stomach. The week that he told me I lost 11 pounds. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep...I didn't go to work. Why do so many people do this and don't blink and eye and then when they get caught.... "But I love you...I want this to work...I NOW realize the consequences of my actions". Jesus...can't you think of that prior to doing her? I am no longer wearing my wedding rings because they mean absolutely NOTHING to me. He looked me in my eye and said, "Tina, take and wear this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity". Well hell...that was a lie...I have told him that those rings will NEVER go back on my finger. They are tainted because he lied. People have told me that it gets better as time goes by but for me right now I just can't take it. The one person that I run to in times of need is the one who hurt me. I feel so alone.

This has happened to me too.If men are unhappy in a marriage, Why oh why don't they sit us down and tell us they want out before they cheat??? It would hurt yes, but finding out that your husband is cheating on you hurts a hell of a lot more.
I'm not sure if he is still in the home but if he is, and this may sound extreme but, make him move out for a year or until he has proved to you that he is serious about wanting to make it work. You will know in your heart if he means it.
Good Luck to you.

WHAT A JOURNEY !! Congratulations on your new life !! The weight will come back off :-) goodluck as you go back through the weightloss journey. !

I just want to encourage you to continue the lifestyle changes that you made. You have done an awesome job inspite all of the challenges. Hang in there.

That's great news!

Good luck to you and best wishes. Even though you feel "knocked down", you are such a fighter and will get past this hurdle. I hope the 2nd opinion brings positive news.
Hugs to you!

Try to get the junk or unhealthy foods out of your house as well so they don't tempt you and replace them with healthier alternatives.
You cannot change the past but you can certainly change tomorrow. Hopefully as you start to get fills again that will at least help with your portion sizes.
I might suggest some counseling though as it sounds like you may be struggling with some depression. Maybe if you can work on that the rest will fall into place.
You deserve this. Try not to beat yourself up as it is only self-defeating.

I had my band May 2009 and was 258 and got to 130 and stayed there til march 2012 when they discovered i had a hernia.. i had surgery a monthor so later to repair the hernia and repostion my band, since it got tilited. im all good now so far. so just get tyhe hernia repaired and repositioned the band and you'll be all set.
