Was banded six years ago got down to150 from 214. Now I am up again and having a lot of trouble. I feel like I have no restriction. Just had another fill but I

Also haven't been following the rules. Would love to talk to someone thanks. Michelle

I am on day two of a restart. It is consuming me at this time....I think it is harder to start over then at the beginning. I So wish I had never challenged what they told me.

I don't think they emphasize enough the reasons they put the rules into effect. You have the don't eat list, because you can't. The list is not entirely because you physically can't, but because you can't eat that type of food and lose!

I am very happy I came back to the forum for support, this is just what I need. Wish there was more support meetings in Maine to attend.

Hi! I too am struggling with my weight loss. I was 255 3yrs ago. Lost 60 lbs felt & look great. Had a baby & since have not lost a single lb. I am currently 235. I feel horrible. I exercise sporadically and I know my diet is not the best. Just need a kick to get motivated again. I have good restriction but just can't get the scale to move. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Okay so I'm not alone. I was banded 4 yrs ago and lost 50lbs. I weigh 185 and have managed to stay around that, all tho I would love to lose more, but have not gone in for another fill in about 3 1/2 yrs due to the restriction that I have already. Considered going in for a fill and know that I would be mostly on mushy foods and liquids, but considered doing it for a few months to drop more weight and get where I'd like to be. My problem is that I have to travel from Sac to SF to get my fill. kaiser has no fill drs in Sac. Ugh! I should just do it!
