    I would do the 5 day band test. See if it's time for a fill. Hope life is getting better for you!

    I can relate to what you are going through. I had a pretty terrible last year too. My Dad passed away along with two uncles and an aunt.
    I have gone back to support meetings, and started a regular exercise program. I had to have an unfill this past week because my band was way too tight. I had vomiting and acid reflux. Plan on returning again for a fill when things calm down. Having the proper restriction really helps me the most to put things in perspective as to the volume of food I eat. And, as always, being mindful of having all the necessary Protein in the day, plenty of Water, making good choices of food, etc., all help.
    Good luck to you! I feel I have done this before (getting back on track and being successful with weight loss) so I know what to do.

    Get back to your doctor and see what he/she says. When I was ready to get back on track my doctor wouldn't let me have a fill, he made me get back on track and come back in 4 weeks. I go back this Thurs. I am ready for my appointment.
    I got out my food journal and write down everything I put in my mouth, including the 1 M&M I had. I also keep track of my exercise daily.
    I have only lost 3lbs in the last 3 weeks but I have lost inches as my clothes are alot looser than they were. I am hoping to get that fill on Thursday as I feel I need more restriction.
    If you want we can be accountable together as we are both getting back on track!!
