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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
