I was banded 1/14/10 and have been doing well, except for the last few weeks. I got a bad cold and stopped exercising, and ever since then it has been very hard to get myself back on track.

I'm eating the wrong things and feeling really badly about that. I haven't been able to get back to exercise. I am also under stress and working 7 days a week on a special project, which I think I've used as a reason to relax the diet.

I have a 10 cc band with my current (and first) fill of 3 cc's. I am scheduled to get another in the first week of April, and I'm not looking forward to the visit because I haven't done well.

If anyone could offer me support I would really appreciate it.

Remember this - bad habits are difficult to change. It takes quite a while (could be years) for new habits (the good ones) to become standard operating procedure. When you got your cold you probably did what most of us do- went to comfort food to see you through it. then the special project just gave you an excuse to continue. Remember, it's all about choices. You get to choose out of that behavior now, and try to remember why you are doing this- for your health and well being. If YOU don't take care of YOU nobody else will. One thing, please definitely GO to that doctor appointment no matter how badly you're doing. They may help you redirect yourself. Now take a second an dread my blog entry on how I got myself back on track and see if something there might help you. It's at Maintaining #001: December 26, 2009 or Making It Through My 6th year of Holidays After Lap Band® Surgery

Then take a deep breath and list 5 things you will do for yourself today to get yourself back on track. Write them down and set times for them to occur. and email me or send me a pM and let's talk more. I'm here to help.

hey wordy,I was also banded on jan14,2010 in southern ca, i am not doing so great i have only lost 24 lbs how about you. I know everyone is different but how much have you lost?

I was feeling good restriction at 5cc's but now iam starting to feel hungry again/. maybe i need another fill how many cc's are you at? I would love to keep in touch it would be good to encourage each other not to compare each other but to give ourselves an idea of what we are going through.
