I know it's been a while since you posted this so I hope you are in a better "place".

I think your first step needs to be to forgive yourself. I sense a lot of self-loathing and sadness. I think if you can find your happiness, you will value yourself more and know that you deserve to be happy too and it will be easier to take those steps forward.

I agree with Missy that eating on a regular basis is very important so you are not on a feeding frenzy at night. It will also keep your metabolism stable and keep you satiated. Please, please do not allow another nurse (not trained in lapband procedures) to do your fills. While they may know how to inject saline into someone, you are both risking your jobs and your health. They can also damage the port if not done properly. I am not trying to be harsh, I am just concerned for your well-being.

Since it has been a while since you were banded, do you remember and do you know the guidelines for how you should be eating? I would be happy to share some ideas if you would like a refresher.

I hope you are on a healthier path since you posted this and please come on here for support. It isn't for us to judge. We may not coddle, but we will care and do want success, health and happiness for you.

Stock up on Protein Powder and almond milk not only will you be getting the Protein you need they are also flavored with crazy flavors now so instead of eating cake drink the cake batter flavored protein.

When a child starts walking, they weill fall, but they get back up. They keep at it until they master it. You are like the child trying to take their first steps. Do not beat yourself up. You can do what you think you cannot do. You are worth it. No one is more importasnt than thou art.
