i was banded december 2010 i was 97kilos
got pregnant october 2011 i was 69 kilos
when my baby was born july 2012 i was 75 kilos
i dropped few kilos in the following year 2013
then in 2014 i started gaining and gaining weight and now i am 82 kilos
i never did an unfill on the band even during pregnancy i was fine with it the way it was
i had though 2 refills after delivery to a total of 6.5ml out of 10ml
i have a good restriction i dont eat much i am unable to eat without chewing very very well..
anyways solid food is not an issue, just the sugary stuff i just want the will not to buy and eat any anymore!!

Well first things first mama, GET RID OF THOSE SWEETS! If they are around, get away from them! I'm currently pregnant again, so my sweet tooth is through the roof! I try to balance it out. I'll eat grapes and drink some Water and then see if I want something else (like chocolate). Sometimes the urge goes away, or I get busy and don't have time to sneak a sweet treat...or sometimes, I just don't want to share with my toddler

i was doing great, before getting pregnant
then suddenly i was indulging few here and there, but after i had my baby till now i feel i am under alot of stress
i grab everything sweet around..
my son is 3 years old now the last year was the worse
i am so afraid of gaining back the weight i lost.. already everyone think i am a failure!

Not an easy thing to do I know. I am one who likes the "reward" and celebration of having sweets. I try to substitue for them by having a chocolate shake, or a Protein bar.
It's something we have to work on minute to minute...there's not quick and easy answer

same issue here, and i need a good advice on how to cut back bad food from my diet.. especially sugar and sweets!!

Hi, my name is Becky. This is my 1st message on a forum ever. I am stressed out and need some guidance. Here is my story..
I am 29 years old. Was banded 3 year ago very successfully (lost almost 100lbs and was running and everything). The top priority for the banding was because I wanted to get pregnant and couldn't due to my polycystic ovary syndrome. So 1 year after banding and 98lbs down, I was expecting my baby girl. Thats when things turned. They emptied my band and I gained back 40 lbs during that 9 months. In the mean time, I was in nursing school. Stress out the wazoo. (I just graduated in May with my RN). Because of school, raising my family and working full time, I fell off the wagon. I did get 5ML's put back in my band, but have been eating around it, stress eating, and drinking high caloric drinks. I am now only down 27lbs from my original weight and SOOO mad at myself. I just dont know what to do next. Do I try to get filled again (is 5ML's enough?), do I see the nutritionist, or do I just start over. what do i do?? When I'm eating I do feel full, but the fat person in me decides to drink with my meals and push through it until I clean my plate. Has anyone started over successfully?? Just looking for advice..
