I was banded last nov and was doing well. I had lost 51 lbs by the middle of Jan. Long story short I have gained 20lbs back. I have had two fills since last Nov. I finally went back to the Dr last week. I am 3 days into the stage 3 diet again.Per my Dr's instructions I will be on it for 3 weeks. I'm not really the blog type of person but some highly recommend that I do it for support. So that's my story and helpful suggestions on staying on track are gladly welcomed.

I am pre op so I can't give advise but I can give support.

Check out the posts there are many that discuss ups and downs.
