Getting back on track?

[Pita625 1]

Well I too am glad that this was posted...I have failed the band as too. I was banded almost 2yrs ago and still have not been able to change my eating habits in my head. I don't think that I have ever reached my "sweet spot" even though I was told I should have. I too have been eating way too many things that go down easy. After reading these posts I have decided to make an appointment to see my doctor and give it another try.

I'm 3 years out and recently had to have all the liquid removed because I couldn't keep anything down. I can't believe how easy it is to go back to the old ways. I've lost 70 pounds over the 3 years and promptly put 10 back on. I had a fill 2 weeks ago (only 1/2 of what they took out) and was told I needed to wait 4 more weeks to get another. I'm still eating way beyond what I should be. Obsessing with food from the minute I wake until I go to sleep at night. I feel sooooo good about myself and am ecstatic about being able to go into any store to buy clothes - not just Lane Bryant - so why am I doing this to myself again?

I saw my Dr yesterday. He assured me I have not failed, but "refining" my ability to use the lapband. I lost 1# in 6 weeks! He added .5cc and now it seems I can't eat anything! (Well, maybe I will loose some weight!) My oatmeal got stuck today! So I struggled and chewed. Most things got stuck. I probably got 1/2 cup of food down. Hard day! Going on vacation next week. Maybe I will loose some weight!

Let's hang in there and REFINE our skills!
