I am looking for some suggestions from those who had slips and gained weight back. I was banded in 2008 and lost 60 pounds fairly quickly. I have gained 50 of that back. Today I decided to go on liquids for 2 days (if i can make myself do it), and then mushies the next day after that to try to get myself restarted. I'm also going to make a solid effort to put that drink away while eating. That is my biggest downfall.

I am hoping to generate some feedback and suggestions for those of you that have had the slip-ups like I had. How did you get back in the game?

Good luck! My biggest hurdle will be not drinking while eating. I've always taken a bite and followed it up with a sip - my entire life. Not doing so makes me feel like I will choke.

I am looking for some suggestions from those who had slip A "SLIP" in LB terms is a SCARY word...lol With that being said , Been there done that!! and gained weight back. I was banded in 2008 and lost 60 pounds fairly quickly. I have gained 50 of that back. Today I decided to go on liquids for 2 days (if i can make myself do it), and then mushies the next day after that to try to get myself restarted. I'm also going to make a solid effort to put that drink away while eating. That is my biggest downfall , I was banded 4-09, lost 70 lbs, gained it all back and then some, (life stress, divorce,moved out of state etc..) I chose slider foods, junk you name it, wasn't able to go to the doctor but still had 5cc in a 14cc band. Finally decided in 4/12 that I didn't go through all of this to remain overweight. I saw my Doctor, started over and lost 70 AGAIN, I won't say I'll never do that again because FOREVER is a long time. But i learned as many of us do the band is only going to give you the restriction you need IF your willing to WORK WITH IT, instead of against it. THINK long and hard about WHY you slipped (oops there's that word again). There is allot of good advise on what to eat what not to eat etc..on this site But you need to know and recognize your Triggers we all have them

I am hoping to generate some feedback and suggestions for those of you that have had the slip-ups like I had. How did you get back in the game Most people feel ashamed that they have failed, you only FAIL if you give up, DON'T GIVE UP YOUR WORTH MORE!!!!!!!!! YOU can do it !!

I'm including a link of the LB diet because so often our M.D.'S don't give us this information

Good luck on your journey~

I will take a look at the LB diet. It has been a long time since i've glanced at it. Thanks for the tips and I am definitely not giving up. I didn't go through all this to just give it up. I am going to fight for what I want and take control of my choices again.
