Okay, I am hoping that there is someone out there that can give me advice, words of wisdom, or just plain old Ive been there and it is possible to get back on track. I got my band three years ago. Lost 100 pounds. Had complications, band slipped and severe acid reflux. Surgery to put band back, then way off the good trail on eating, followed by divorce.

Now 80 pounds are back and I want to get back on track. I just cannot seem to stop eating and kick the habit. Any advise? I know it is up to me. I just don't know how to get started again.

I feel for you. I am sure you are very sad about this.

Is there a way to give you house a clean sweep?

You have to realize you will get hungry for your fix.

Just figure out how bad you want it.

Maybe you are getting more out of staying heavy ?

I know for myself it (weight) kept the men away.

PM if You want to chat with me, I care.

If you need someone I'll try to help.

I suspect you need some depression medicine too.

Wow! I think this happens to all of us...I constantly struggle with the whole mind thing...ultimately I think the mind is what it boils down too...Start asking yourself WHY you feel the need to eat. Why do you sabotage yourself...what do you fear in being thin. What is holding you back...if you can work through this you can break through the barriers...

I am always here as well so PM or email if you want to chat through things.

Christine, if you are serious I would meet with your surgeon and get reinstated with him. Start by getting a fill. That is what I would do.
