I'm right there with you. I was banded in November 2006 and initially lost 80 lbs and have gained 70 of my 80 lbs back. It is not only an embarrasment that I let myself get back to close to my original weight but I'm very ashamed of myself. I'm really trying to stay on track with food journaling and working out. I will make an effort to start posting to this thread everyday whether I do good or bad. I wish you the best of luck and I look forward to getting back on track with you. Take Care.

Thanks missy0224

Same thing here with the embarrasment that I let myself get back to close to my original weight but I'm very ashamed of myself.

I hated to go back to the Dr's office with the regain of my weight then to listen to the speach...

Well lets do this together! Partner!
