  1. Starting Over

    · amatt020907 · 03/19/2010 15:53

    I had my surgery on 02/09/2007 and was very happy with my results in the beginning. My starting weight was 298 lbs and I managed to get down to 228 lbs in less than a year. Well, as of today's weigh-in I am at 262 lbs, which is a loss for me because I got all the way back up to 279 lbs. I just feel very disappointed in myself because I see my girlfriends that had the surgery with me losing weight and keeping it off. To my defense, I did have my band opened for most of 2008 due to reflux and possible slippage. Yeah I was suppose to go back and have an adjustment, but life got in the way and I became very depressed and of course food was my crutch.
     
    Well, I am trying to get back on track now. I started back at the gym, increased my protein and decided to start utilizing this LAP-BAND® forum again. So wish me luck! This time I will stay focused and on track!
