Thanks everyone, i have cleaned out my kitchen from junk food and bought healther options. This year is been crazy. Im realize im not alone. I had been gone from this page for almost a year. I didnt realize how much support i needed from other people who have been/are on the weight loss journey. Its not easy. I toom your advise and sat down with the hubby, he has noticed but didnt want me to feel bad, he was not sure how to bring it up to me without hurting my feelings. I am starting a workout video for 15mins today and increase with time. I gonna pace myself.
Thank you everyone for the motivation and advice

My lapband surgery was dec 2015. I droped from 230 to 185 in 5 months. I was so proud of my self. i was diagnosed with endometriosis, and had ablation surgery in april 2017. In sep 2017 i got gallbladder disease, so another surgery. I found a lump in breast last month, i was scared shitless..

I stress ate, i cryed, the wait made me a mess. Lucky it was only 3 cysts and it was taken care of.

To add on Im going to college full time with a 3.8 gpa, stay at home mom, with 2 children. My son is has a severe speech delay. So i spend therapies are alot.

No excuses, i found it easier to eat out. On the run, and now i am up to 203lbs!! Im not gonna ask how this happened. I know what i did wrong, i feel like a failure. I cryed today when i got on the scale. I always told the nurse dont tell me my wieght, and today i finally got the courage.

I know it will be hard but i will be ok, i can drop the weight again, and keep it down.

I have to keep it down for myself, my children, and my heart condition. I just need to talk to someone who understands, no one i know has WLS, my family is very thin and dont get it. I feel i have let myself down. I feel im in this alone.

Glad you talked to your dr and we all need to support eacher on the route to a healthier lifestyle.

Nice, i lost 34lbs in 2wks pre op and 24lbs 6wk post, then i started gain back 6lbs, i talk my dr and he also put me on Contrave, since phentermine kept me up for 3straight days! Contrave has been working almost 2wks and in down the 6lbs plus another 3lbs. I have no bad side effects so far, i just needed a boost, my dr understands since he too is a banded patient. He nake me feel good about goin to him for questions or concerns, and i have not once felt judged.

Thanks and yeah but i suddenly felt full. I think i was too early want it to work.

Today was my 1st fill, wierd thing is i felt full when he put the 2cc in, but now 2hrs latr im hungry feels like i dont any fill. Im on a 48hr liquid diet, but to be honest im super hungry, did he not put enough?

I was banded Dec 19th 2014 Dr. Earl Fox, did my surgery. In kennewick wa. Anyone locally, and recently banded? Im down 30lbs still on liquidz, with 2 toddlers to handle while im recoving.

I was just banded by dr fox here in the tricities. Dec 19th 2014. I got to say dr Fox is awesome

Thanks. I know this is not easy. I feel better about my choice. Better saggy skin then overweight with all my illness.

Wow im still on liquids. My dr does 4wks post. Im so done with liquids. I just want to hit the pureed foods

I was banded dec 19th. 1st fill jan 22th. How are u feeling. Are u still on liquids or pureed

Thanks. I feel better today. I realize this is not easy. Specially having to cook for a 3yr old and a 1yr old. But it will be all worth it when i can run and play with them for more then 5 min. When i can go to the dance with the hubby and not just sit there...

Ok so im new here, but i was banded dec 19th. After yrs of failed weightloss.

I had began to feel ok with my overweight, i had been stuck their, so i ll be honest, i gave up. I was just tired of failing diets and what not.

Turning back for me. The birth of my 2nd child my son in july 2013. During labor my heart was too stressed. Post labor bp started. So my dr sent me to the cardiologist. Heart issuses began. At my age 27? No. He said you need to lose weight. Uh well i tryed. But in Mid may i had a er trip that got me scared. Then my knees.

My dr talked to me about banding surgery. I gave some thought, finally in oct i went in to a seminar. My insurane does 3 months, 100% covered. So i signed up i knew all the risks and my therapist helped.

I was banded dec 19th 2014. I told only my mom and husband. Some how everyone already knows. I lost 30lbs so far. Im still sore at the port. My dr does 2wks pre op and 4wks post op liquids. Im soo done with liquids. I almost cryed the other day. I had a down day. But 7days post op i did a trip to the er. Thanks to a car trip. My stiches opend a bit. My Vitamins, mineral were low, dyhydrated. My brother called to brag about his weightloss, how he was able to do it alone, I just feeling like a quiter.

Did i give to soon on diets? Should i of tryed harder? Just 2nd guessing. My hubby supports me all the way and told me to be proud its not easy to do what i did. Anyone else having down moments?

I feel u on the lose skin. I was banded on dec 19th 2014. I lost almost 20lbs post. And my skin is starting to hang. I use almond oil/vitamin e oil.
