I was banded in 2009 in July I initially lost 3 1/2 stone but i fell by the wayside...... i havent had an infill as i was topped up too tightly in March 2010 due being unable to eat anything but mush through a jaw problem. But ive put on 6lbs and cant stop this addiction to chocolate. When i was unable to eat i could manage the choc and the biscuits and have become overtime, lazy in what i eat. If I try to eat properly I get "stuckages". But i need to get back on the wagon that ive fell off......... please gimme some guidance.... anyone?! Help!!!!

Hi lischa, first of all how fantastic 3 1/2 stone! congratulations! Sorry to hear you got a bit off track, I did too and didn't have your amount of weight loss to fall back on as inspiration. I got banded in April 2009, lost a bit, then for lots of reasons lost my way and put it all and a little more back on, so I'm not able to give you any wonderful advice.

I just wanted to say I'm sure most people have a few ups and downs. I see your post was in April 2011 - so this may be a bit late and you are probably well back on track. I have just had a verrrrrrrrrry long down but I'm trying to have a fresh start now. I just had a fill and have managed to stick to three days liquids. I am going to try to make time to come on here even for just five minutes, everyday to help me keep focused! xx
