Getting Back Into It!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone thIs is my story. I got my lap band last year in feb and I feel it was quite successful I lost 65 kilos (145 pounds) all up after about 7 months with a lot of training and hardcore dieting then I had my gall blatter removed and I have never got back into it properly I have learnt how to cheat the band and it hasn't bothered me cause I maintained my weight and I am happy in all aspects of my life. But I have put on about 8 kilos in the last month so now I wanna really get back into it. Does anyone have any advice on how to get back into it or tips on how to kick start my diet again.

I haven't been there, done that. Getting banded Oct 15. If it was me, I would go back to my Dr see if maybe I needed a fill, go back to only eating a cup of food, starting with Protein first, fresh fruit & veggies. Drink your Water and exercise.

You know how it works. You did wonderfully before, Congratulations!

You can do this! I know you can!

Best wishes

cheating (around the band). yep, it seems so easy to do.

so how do we (get back into it). well, we just do it.

like we did when we first started. as maddys said, Protein first, veggies and some fruit. (i never go over a cup of food at a time) but i do eat when i am hungry. i also drink all day long.

i would say your loss is amazing. i am in such awe

keep going. you have the tool to help you (the band)

have you been back to your dr recently? do you need a fill perhaps?

i wish you all the luck/success in the world as you are already such an inspiration to a new bandit like myself.

just go like i do........one day/one meal at a time

(dont over think it). if you think you are doing bad (cheating) dont do it as you are the only one who can control/stop that.

have a great and wonderful day :)

Thanks for all your feed back. I know what I need to do I just don't feel a need to cause I'm really quite content but I've just realized how easy it is to put weight back on so I'm back on my diet starting yesterday and I feel terrible lol but I've lost 2 kilos (4.5 pounds) in the 1st 24 hours so I'm just gonna have to pump up and get on with it and get back to basics thanks for all your support

      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?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
