I've been banded for13 months. I had lost about 20 lbs the first 3 months then weightloss stopped. I can't get off the soft foods, like sweets and other high carb foods. It's a terrible addiction that I can't get control of. I am now back to my beginning weight and at a total loss as to what to do next. I have comfortable restriction, when I eat non-sweets foods. I just joined NutriSystem and ordered my first month of foods. I did Jenny Craig about 15 years ago and lost about 50 pounds so I'm hoping this NutriSystem gets me under control. I also have to get back to exercising. I'm just feeling very down and feel like I have blown my last chance to finally lose the weight. Anyone ever try JC or NS ?

Same binge eating story here. I had surgery in Nov 05 and lost around 20 lbs by Feb. I have gained most of the 20 lbs back because of my obsessive "sweets" eating. I feel like the band has kept me from gaining more weight but I am so disappointed in myself. I don't know where to turn to next. I've done the counseling for 3 years before the band and that never worked. I'll keep reading here in the future and see if anyone comes up with another strategy for us "obsessive binge eaters" to try.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was banded in Nov 05. I started at 250 with a goal weight of 160. I had some eating problems that kept me from being successful the first year but those have been resolved and I am starting over. I had an Endo last week to make sure all was well. My dr took all of the saline out of my band and we're starting from scratch. I had lost a total of 20 pounds but I have regained 14 pounds back so I'm starting at 244 this time. I have faith that I will do much better in the next year. This forum seems to have a lot of information that will be helpful to me so I will check in regularly. Best of luck to all !
