Help! I need some renewed motivation. I had my LapBand surgery on 7-7-06. To date I have lost over 80 pounds. I am very proud of the progress I have made so far, but lately I have been slacking and the scale has has been yo-yoing for the past month or two.

I am fully aware my yo-yoing is the result of my own actions. I have been eating beyond the full point, and making some bad choices from time to time (April is a bad month for me - 5 birthdays in the family... and where there is cake....) and because my daughter is going through a "no gym Mommy!, no gym Mommy!" phase, (she's 2) I feel guily taking her there and leving her in the gym daycare while I work out. So needless to say, my gym time has also been less than optimal.

Anyway... I know what I have to do, I just need some kind and harsh words to kick me in the a#@ and get me back on track!

My goal was 100 by my bandiversary on 7-7-07 and I'd like to think I can still do it.

Maybe you need a slight fill. You've done great so far. I was banded exactly one week after you on the 14th and I've been going through the same thing but I'm too tight and getting a slight unfill. Good luck and I wouldn't worry. It will come off, that's what is so great with the band, it's always there for us.

Thanks beachgirl. Perhaps I could use a slight fill. I have noticed I am eating more frequently during the day, but then again, I get stuck a few times a week too.

I just hope I haven't strectched my pouch or something!

i am in the same place as you... i did just go in today for a 1cc fill. hopefully that will help.

as for you getting stuck, what is getting stuck? are you chewing 20+ times, etc??

good luck
