I totally know what you mean. I was out of control over the holidays too, but now I'm back in control. I'm getting ready to go to the gym today. It's my first day back in 3 weeks. I too am planning on going 5-6 days a week. This is our year to take this weight off!

Only letting those people in who want whats best for you is going to help you on your path to the healthier you! You're doing great!

Oh no, I had a choice and I took the high road. It could have gone either way. The high road or the road to depression highway. I was supposed to get my band refilled after 6 long weeks of nothing. I had a dilated esophagus so they took all fluid out of my band so it could heal. I was on my way to Doctors, (3 hours away), and an ice storm hit so I had to turn the car around. And believe me I was tempted to take the risk...........death by ice storm. So now I am waiting till Monday to get the news as to whether my throat is healed or not. Stay posted..................:biggrin:

Thanks so much for your encouragement! I found out my esophagus was dilated because I wasn't feeling a lot of restriction so they did a barrium swallow and found out that my esophagus was big. They have taken almost all of my fluid out of my band for 6 weeks. I go in on Tuesday to hopefully get it refilled.

Well, it's been a year and I've lost 7 lbs., and I have a dilated esophagas. Let me be a example of what not to do!! I have a history of an eating disorder, (obviously), and I am paying for it. For some reason In my backword mind I used the band as a challenge to see how much I could still eat. SICK,SICK,SICK!! Therefore I got a dilated esophagas and had to have most of my fluid taken out of my band while it heals. I had it taken out about 6 weeks ago and I go back to have fluid put in a week from today. Hopefully it's fully healed. So basically I will be starting over and this is the reason I am starting this blog. I would love to have your feedback, and encouragement, as well as your questions and comments. Keep your fingers crossed for me that my esophagas has healed so I can continue my journey the RIGHT way!:biggrin:
