need to get back on track



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been struggling for the past 3 weeks. I have been making poor choices and seems as if I am letting my old self back in. I DO NOT want this to happen... I need to get back on track... I need to find it within me again as I am too newly banded to be self destructing already... Any tips on getting back on track before I do some damage to my band...

thanks

1. Look at how much weight you have lost and how good it feels .2. When you go to eat that wrong thing, stop and ask yourself is it really worth it, do I want to eat this more then loosing weight? 3. Go for a walk instead of eating 4. up your Protein and Water intake 5. go see your Dr. 6. go back to basic 7. remember why you got the lap band and the work you had to do to get it.biggrin.gif

agree with Brenda. It is so easy to get off of track, it is the bad habits that got us to where we were. but that does not define you at all. i get off track too, but pick myself back up and get back on track. you would not be human if you fell off the wagon :)

you can do this!

I am fairly new as well, 10 weeks post-op. I have not been making the best choices the past 2 weeks and I am determined to get back on track. What is the 5-day pouch test?

I would recommend going to a support group meeting. That always helps me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
