Thanks Louise, now if i could just stop eating! :)

Try to look at this as being a little holiday. You will be filled and restricted again. You have lost weight :clap2: and you will continue to do so. :( This is just a petite break, and kinda like a walk down memory lane...or eat street.:phanvan This period will not forever and it will remind you of why you became a bandster. Maybe, although eat street is a very scary place to find yourself, you can learn something interesting about yourself and the drive to eat. Maybe something positive will come of this unexpected situation in which you find yourself. And, you know, it could be a lot worse; there are those of us who suffer slippage or leaks.:omg: Ugh! Every bandster's nightmare, eh.

I hope I don't sound too much like the Pollyanna who nobody wants to hear. I'll shut up now and go away.

Neenagh - I am sorry to read about your troubles. I hope you can get a fill soon. You must be so frustrated, but try to remember that this is just a bump in the road, and will make a permanent mark in your life's journey. Big hugs and warm thoughts.

Thanks Bandiva everyone here is so kind,

It is really scary having no restriction, all my bad hunger is back! It has really made me realize how great the band is tho. when i have restriction, i actually have to remind myself to eat! right now i'm back with the old demons, thinking about food constantly, trying to hold on (not very successfully) kinda sad and depressed too.

I haven't tried it...yet, but i've heard that you can bludgeon someone to death with a frozen leg of lamb, roast it and feed the evidence to the cops when they come! If i hear of any more i' let you know, as a public service. heheheh

Cloe can probably get you a deal on a leg of lamb!

Hey neenagh, since I am soon to be in your shoes, give me some words of wisdom! How's it going? Are you managing to not gain whilst unfilled?

Oooh... or are you on that vacation you were talkin' about!?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
