Help - cannot get back on the wagon

Connorsmom · September 26, 2005

Hi Again

I have an appt. with Dr. Bertha in two weeks. Two months ago he suggested I see a nutritionist and I have not. I have made efforts but to no avail. I won't get into excuses but to date I have not gone.

I want a fill. I feel that is what will help me get motivated again, a new start per say.

How do I go about dicussing this with Dr. Bertha.

I am 9 months out and 40 lbs down.

THanks

First, Congrats on the great weight loss!

Second, I'd sure suggest following through on your doctor's suggestion before I met with him.

Third, I'd tell him that you can eat too much and aren't losing weight and you need a fill, please.

Before I get a fill, I always make sure that I'm making good choices at least 80% of the time. If I am and I'm still not losing weight AND hungry all the time, then I get a fill. That's the way the lapband works. Otherwise it simply doesn't.

Good luck, and don't be too hard on yourself about this. You just weren't ready, and now you are.
