I have let myself down this year. I was doing great with the band then I resorted to old habits. I was too tight and had an unfill. I was actually too lose after the unfill so I decided to go on vacation and have it filled once I got back. I gained weight and since then my fills are not giving me any restriction

:(The band didn't fail me, I failed the band! It's not over yet though! Tomorrow I have another fill scheduled and I know this is going to get me to where I need to be. I just have to be strong during food temptations and keep my eye focused on the goal which is a healthy life. I have started a blog, not mainly focused on health and weightloss but life in general. If you would like to follow me you can check it out here: http://tabithavos.blogspot.com/

I feel I also need to come to the group more and interact with other ppl facing the same problems I face daily... to get inspiration. I hope everyone is doing well. Have an awesome day!

I know you're struggling but your attitude is amazing. I very firmly believe your mindset plays a huge part in whether we succeed or fail in life, and I very firmly believe that you will succeed with your band.

Btw, you didn't fail. You had a minor set-back. That's the beauty of the band, you can simply start over and get back on track. As long you learn from your mistakes it's not failing it's simply learning. You learned and now you're moving forward, that makes you a success :)

Hang in there, you can totally do this!

Thanks everyone!

I just made it back in from my fill. The nurse said my bp was low and my pulse rate was high. She seems to think it's caused from dehydration. I stocked up on crystal light today so I am going to make it a priority to get that Water in. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Love your amazing attitude. Admitting our failures takes courage and strength, but the next step is moving forward and learning from what we did wrong. I give you so much applause for telling us your story and moving forward. You ARE NOT a failure. I love that after this little bump in the road, you are not going to give up!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
