Don't worry you will get back on track. I have only lost 3 pounds in 7 weeks. Of course I had two sugeries (band slipped) and haven't been able to do any exercise except walk. You will feel better when you get back on track .....you know just how to do it!!!

Don't get totally discouraged....I was in my 9th month and my band slipped. I too had a total obstruction. I ate a piece of meat - it wouldn't go down or wouldn't come up. My surgeon did emergency surgery - I thought I might lose my band but he "unhooked" it and left it in place then he went back in about 10 days later and "rehooked" it. Yes I had to have two more surgeries and start all over with liquids, etc. but I still have my band!! I am down 65 pounds and only have about 10-15 pounds to go before I reach my goal.....Wait to Worry!!! whatever it is it can probably be fixed.....it will set you back a bit but you are stong enough to overcome any obstacle that you might have to endure!! Hang tough!

Hey question - when did your doctor tell you that you could start running again? Mine told me to walk for four weeks then I could run and lift weights. It will be so much fun to show off the "new you" to your old GF's - I am sure they will still recognize you....but their jaw may need to be lifted up off of the floor...LOL

Has your doctor released you for full exercise yet? Mine told me all I could do right now was walk. - "killing me"

Tell whomever to get their facts straight before they open their mouth. A slipped band is a very big deal. When my band slipped there was no way it was "going back into place" because I busted all of the stitches that hold the band in place from throwing up......I am right there with you.....we will "retrain" for that marathon!!!! We will get there!!!!!

I know exactly how you feel....I have been banded for 8 months and had a slip on September 9, doctor went in and "unhooked" my band , but left it in place, let my stomach heal, then went back in on September 21, and "rehooked" it - so I have had two surgeries within a couple of weeks. I had worked up to running 5 miles each day I was going to do my first 5k this past weekend....but that didn't happen!!! Doc told me the same thing - I could "walk" this weekend if I feel up to it....not being able to run is killing me!!! So I know how you feel - we are technically starting over!

If it is a slipped band you can't get anything up or down - including liquids.....

size 18 - gone.... size 16 - gone.... size 14 - gone... size 12 - gone...I started at a size 18 and I didn't have to buy any clothes until now the size 10, I bought only the bare minimum because I don't plan on being in a size 10 for very long. I have already bought a few pair of size 8 shorts. Goodwill loved me....LOL

I know - at home I will do all of the dinner dishes while I eat. At least the kitchen is clean by the time I finish eating..LOL

I do whey chocolate protien powder, skim milk, a banana, ice and blend in the blender - taste like a chocolate milkshake....

You will be in "onederland" before you know it.....keep up the good work!!!

Where in South Florida???
