Hi all...I am 35, single mom and I live in San Andreas, Cali. Im a paralegal at a law firm, my son is 13 years old and I have been obese since I became pregnant with him and gained 60 lbs. Then other life stuff happened and each time I put on more until I reached an all time high of 313. :faint: I was banded May 25th. I was on liquids for 2 days and then mushies and started solid foods yesterday. (Started a day early). I now weigh more than when I did at pre-op and I am really bummed about that. I think cause of Aunt Flo:rolleyes: ..but I thought I was out of the 300's for good and BAM went back up there. Im trying not to get discouraged and still eat right. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks all and Im so glad to have found this site! Bridget

I know this is typical I guess but Im totally bummed about it. Here I had the surgery and BAM..nuttin...even worse Im more than what I was pre-op! Any advice is welcomed. Would LOVE if anyone was actually close to me! Bridget
