Help...I have'nt been on the sight for a long, long, time. I was banded a year ago in Jan. I started out of the gates just fine, doing what I was supposed with diet and excercise. I lost my mother suddenly 6 months ago and fell off the wagon completely. I did not care about anything. I am very depressed because this is a year later and I wanted to have a substantial amount of weight off and of course do not.

Any suggestions for getting back on? I need help!!!!:help: :help: :help:

Just pick yourself up and begin anew. That is the wonderful thing about the band, it is there waiting for the time to be right for you. ~Mandy

The great thing about the band, it is always there when your ready to use it. So, lets get started. Its a new year, and you can do this!

PS - I am sorry for the loss of your mother, I know that must have been difficult.

Hey Kim

I lost my mom too. I also gained most of my weight after the loss of my parents. I was banded in Oct and I always think about my mom and how she didn't want weight to be an issue for me like it was for her. When she was alive she always said "don't make the same mistakes I made".

Anyway, I know feel like I am taking control of my life again and I just KNOW that my mother is proud of me for doing it!

good luck with your journey. Its a long road but one worth traveling!

Kim..Don't beat yourself up over it. I know what it is like to be an emotional eater. Even someone who isn't, could tend to look to food with such a great loss. Look on the bright side, you have still lost 31lbs. It's a new year and you can't go back so just start from here so you don't look back next year with the same regrets. I wish you all the best and I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother.

I would see if you need a fill first. That should help you out. YOu can do this. Just take a mental note as to why you were banded in the first place. Love your band and treat it with respect. YOu will bounch back quicker than you think. Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
