Six Weeks ago I got admitted for another asthma.flare.up and because of the steroids it causes increase appetite an thirst the doc emptied my band so in six Weeks I feel like I did so much damage but when I went to him to get filled I was down three lbs suprisingly, ive been.stuck in the.240s for what.seems like a.long time now, so im hoping being restricted again I can break the curse of the 240s & keep losing. Part of my problem is I am afraid of.exercise im scared to have another asthma.flare up but I think if I do what he says by staying indoors.to work out it will be better. Just need inspiration to get my butt back into gear, please leave motivating positive comments here! Sorry for typos im on.my.phone lol

One of the rewards of our New Life as Bandsters, is finding new ways to do things we never could attempt preOp. I too encounter obstacles regularly that I have to figure a way to overcome.

My son told me in the Marine Corp he was taught "Improvise-adapt-overcome" or some such.

It helps me in those down moments, to find ways to through the Mountains of Opportunity to keep headed toward my own goals.

Frustration of doing one way can be used to generate enthusiasm to do it another.

Water finds its way to the ocean no matter how many landslides and curves in the terrain. The gravitational aspect of our INTENT to achieve can be harnessed to great results.

Cheers on your journey.

Two things I live by:

You are so much stronger than you think.

And

Don't let your head tell you that you can't.

I know with asthma it is different but listen to your body and take it slow. You can do this!
