Way off track

[GonnaRide 0]

Thanks for still being out there May Banditos. I am working my way to getting back on track and I am excited about it all again. However, all of your stories are so familiar. Having an uncooperative band can be so frustrating and sometimes I wish it weren't there, but I know that I still need it.

A few months ago, after six months of liquids only and insurance complications, I had an unfill. I haven't been back. I really feel like my body needed time to recover, get some nutrition and relax a little. I was doing well until I was in a car accident with my two youngest children, 5 and 8. Someone else hit us. Both cars totaled. We got a lawyer, who then died at age 55 of a massive coronary. I started stress eating, having to grab a lot of very poor fast food choices (who knew McD's fries weren't even close to as good as I remember them being) and I've put on way more than I should have. I'm in PT three days a week now.

But omg. Chicken! I can eat chicken again! Broccoli is still iffy somedays. I really need to find motivation again. I'm nearly where I was pre-op. Between the back and forth filling unfilling and now this, I feel like I've wasted two years, gone through a horrible surgery for nothing and generally failed at this.

I hope the rest of you are fairing better!
