I have had my band since 08 but after losing 100 I have seemed to gain 50 back. I'm so week but have every reason to be strong. What's my problem and why can't I find myself.....

It's easy to revert back to the life style we lived for so many years. Being banded means a forever lifestyle change, not a diet. I am having to work on changing my thinking as well as my habits and I doubt I will ever be able to live on autopilot when it come to my eating. I will always have to be vigiliant when it comes to what and how much I consume.

Hope back on the "band" wagon and do it. Put one foot in front of the other and start making the changes to get back on course. If you feel like it's really a mental thing talk to a psychologist. Nothing wrong with admitting you need help.

I've often wondered how I will react a few years from now. Of course, I don't have the history and experience you've accumulated but it seems like the only way to back slide would be if your band is too loose or you constantly eat around the band? No one can keep you from eating around the band but you. I would think that to jump start the process again would be to get a tight fill so that you feel restriction and enough restriction that you have to begin to think about what you are putting into your body?

That's all I got.

I too fell off the wagon and put back 20kg, now lost 10kg again, I found as long as I stuck to real food I couldn't eat much, so that's what I did and cut the junk out, I still have one or two small fun size chocolates cause I can't live without those, but mainly I decided real food, would love to chat more and keep each other on track
