Gained 7 lbs after a long long still . Pre op 3/23/12 started at 339 lbs . banded 4/6/12 current weight 279 lbs. that's 60 lbs in 1 year !! YAY !! BUT i lost most of that in first 6 months and was on what I thought was a long plateau !! My lowest weight was 272 mid February. Today 279 !! I've been on this site long enough to know what went wrong and what I need to do to fix it !! So I just need somebody to kick my A$$ " yell" PUSH KESHA !! SHAKE IT OFF !! GET UR BUTT UP !! MOVE !! NO EXCUSES !!

I'll be the first to KICK YOUR ASS so consider it kicked HARD.....get of your duff and do it!

LOL Good LUck

I am very proud of you for asking/seeking help before you gain a real lot back. Good for you. Maybe make a dietitian appointment and start over with stage 3 or 4. I love my monthly support groups, do you attend yours? Also, how about exercise. Just walk 5-10 minutes to start and work it up from there. You can do it. You made the commitment when you got the band to help you and now help it.

I go to the gym since December. I rode the bike for 5 minutes and now can go 25-30. Take baby steps.

Consider this your other kick in the ass!!

Maybe visit with the doc again and see about getting a fill. You can do this!

It's great that you are getting control before you gain everything back! The hardest part for a lot of people is admitting that they are responsible for the set back and not the band!

It's never to late! Get back on track! Start moving!!!!

Congratulations on your weight loss!

OUCH !! LoL !!thank you for the A$$ kicking !!! I have not been exercising regularly, which I will restart tonight,I've been drinking my calories a lot that also stops today, I've learned how to " eat around" the band , which I will be watching for, but its a little harder but I will work on it. I also have not been consistent on this site being inspired or pushing others. I use to live on this site !! I do not blame the band at all. I understand it is a tool and I have to work it. But I had it really easy at first and I didn't really do anything for the weight to come off.Now I know that was the low hanging fruit and the real work has to begin !! :-)

Ive been drinking my calories too! I got addicted to mcd's mocha frappes.. flavored coffees..I recommitted too since I gained a few lbs now im trying to get back on track...what are your band stats? I have 5.75 in a 10cc.

Big ass kicking!!!!!
