Banded 2/2013, lost 85lbs, Help needed to stay on track!

Hi All,

I lost 85lbs. since 2/2013. I haven't hit my personal goal of 100 yet but I feel like I am loosing my momentum. I had a tummy tuck in November and I feel great. Lately my eating habits have been horrible and I can't get myself to go to the gym. I'm pretty sure it's a mind (brain) game but how do I keep my momentum?? I also find that after I eat something terrible, I vomit, this isn't good either! I searched for recipes on here too but I can't find any. Can someone copy/paste some links?? Thanks so much

Remember how you felt carrying around that 90lbs that should be momentum enough.

Time for a visit to your surgeon/doctor? I hadn't been for a few months and felt like I was losing momentum and a check up was just what I needed.

Best decision I made when this happened to me was a revisit with the nutristionist. She taught me to re-eat and gave me some new ideas to get me motivated. Good Luck!

I totally feel the same as you. Thank you for posting. I feel quite tearful as I write this. Knowing I'm not alone in how I feel is such a relief. I'm 130 down about 40 to go. I've just been approved for a TT and breast lift. Should be really focused motivated but I'm not ????. The gym for me is the easy bit but food is a HORRENDOUS battle daily. And like you if I eat badly I vomit. Not something that's happened frequently but thought best to try to nip it in the bud before it gets worse. Hoping talking about it helps.

Banded about the same time as you. 2/19/13 and down 90, but have slowed to 7 pounds in 3 months. Not letting it get me down though. If you have support groups in your area, attend, attend, attend as if you life depended on it! Overeaters Anonymous and other programs have helped many surgery patients. Maybe if you have a support group through your hospital you can volunteer to be a speaker for groups of new people seeking bariatric surgery. I did that last week and feel like a new person. Will speak again next month at the Seattle hospital. Good luck and keep on going.
