I've always heard God puts you where he wants you. What a blessing that I have found this post! Like many of you, my story is a VERY long one -- my Sister and Niece were murdered; my lap band "slipped" which required a revision surgery (there is more to my story, but I'll stop there).

At my highest weight, I was at 250 pounds. In this lap band journey, my lowest weight was 170 pounds. I am dealing with a "'re-gain", and currently weigh 199 pounds. I have abandoned my exercise program, and my love affair with food continues **sigh**.

I am looking to get back on track. My doctor has set my goal weight at 180 pounds, but my own personal goal is 170 pounds. I feel like I have forgotten all of the "rules" -- a tad overwhelmed about how and where to start.

My lap band is currently empty, but I am scheduled for a fill in 3 weeks, barring any issues/reflux, etc.

My goal is to lose 30 pounds. Your stories, and posts are encouraging.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
