Same boat! I had surgery in 2011 and lost 105 but up 30. I know what needs to be done, not sure why I let myself struggle so much. My real struggle is sweets and night time eating. I can do good all day, still measure my meals and I'm good there. So today, I am starting again!

I had lap band in 2012. Lost over 100 lbs. Now have thyroid problems and gaing weight. I don't eat any different. On synthroid now how do I lose this weight? Desperate in Alabama. Very discouraged.

I have been banned since 07. Up and down, now almost back to 240... I can't get my head in the game. How can I want to lose this so badly and hate to look at myself, or be so discouraged buying bigger clothes again, but not be able to get mentally back into it? Sighhhhh

Thank you for sharing your struggles !!! I'm guilty of failing my band too. I've lost 30lbs but nothing crazy. I always come on here, so I don't feel alone in this never ending struggle being the chubby girl. Ohhh and did I mention I had the surgery back in 2008 Recently, I thought the band slipped and had all the Fluid removed. Turns out I have kidney stones near my port site.

One day at time right ?

I had my band done in 2012 and hardly lost anything. Had a baby in that time and now I am ready to get back on board! I am doing protein shakes for 2 weeks to get my band/body/mind all back in-check! I control my body , my body doesn't
Control me. I am down 4.8 pounds in 7 days and I am ok with whatever amount right now. A loss is a loss!!! I am ready to use the tool I got. I can go back and forth about how I should've gotten a different surgery or how this is harder then I thought so I should have did it differently. But it is what it is SO... let's get this done right!!!! I am ready for a fresh start and to get to my end goal! We can do this!!! Motivation/dedication/ and determination! [emoji4]

I was banded 12/2011 and fell like I’m still learning still@30 from my initial goal

I am in the same boat!! You guys are not alone!! Was banded in 2008 lost all my weight I wanted, kept it off for 8 years and I am up 40 pounds now. I gave up the bread, pizza, calzones and am trying so hard to lower carbs, but it is coming off 1/2 pound a week. Not good!! I retired 3 years ago and do not exercise or walk like I did back in the beginning of this journey. I totally understand what everybody here is going through. We just have to keep trying.

I was banded in 2012 lost almost 50 am not at goal struggle is real I got as low as 165 now back up to 180-thinking of doing the sleeve

I was banded in 2011, lost 70, then nothing for years. I was recently revised to the Bypass and I could not be happier with that choice!
