Hello,

I am returning to my roots in hopes of getting back on the band wagon!!! I was banded in 8/09 ..lost 80lbs...got pregnant...GAINED IT BACK......now trying to get back on track in a major way!!!!

I just got a fill in my band up to 6.5cc's in a 10 cc band. Looking for my motivation once again.......I need to lose 133 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!

Need help with meal plans.....ideas....anyone???

I am only a couple days out of my "slip fix" surgery. I wish I could help with ideas but, at this point I'm lucky to get water down. ; )

Hi! Your story sounds like mine. I was banded in 06, after losing 110 lbs I got pregnant and I gained back 60. I have been a maladaptive eater ever since. I am about 115 lbs to my goal weight. I just got a fill and am trying to get my head to follow the lapband rules! Maybe we could support each other! Send me a private message if you'd like. This is definitely the tightest fill I've had in awhile. I'm Still learning/adjusting after a loooooong time of not following the rules. there is a thread around here with meal ideas but right now I do not trust myself with anything besides lean cuisines, healthy choice, smart ones etc. I mean it, I am TOTALLY relearning all of this!!!!

I had my surgery in May of 09 and I'm trying to get back to a highly-motivated state. I think I started taking things for granted a little.

Back to my roots - what did I do in that first year as nearly 100 pounds slipped off?

Well, I logged my food every day. (I don't anymore - going back to that.)

I wore my GoWearFit armband to track my steps and I aimed for 10,000 a day. (I stopped wearing it and tracking - going back to that.)

I've slacked on exercise - going back to taking walks during the work day.

Re-affirming to the rules around drinking - Water well BEFORE my meals and not for an hour after.

I hope you're doing OK since you posted this - if you want to check in, I'm listening. Coming back to the board to give and get support is part of my plan to do what I did in 2009 when I was losing.
