Ok my 1st. year banded is over and I have stared all over like it is the 1st. day post-op. I changed my ticker to show That I am just starting over. I have 50 more lbs to lose and I gained 9 lbs this last month. It seemed like I was most focused at the begining of this journey so I am starting over day 1. Has anyone else tried this? I really need to be as focused and as desperate as I was when I was 386 lbs. I need to get my edge back. eat like day 1, workout like day 1, need like day 1.

Bigpapa this is a great idea, sometimes it's eassier to see where you need to be rather then where you been!

I think soneone can get complacent and loose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel.

So knock out these last 50 lbs like your a fresh out of the box bandster

Go for it!!!!!!!!!!

bigpapa- i think it is wonderful that your determination is re-established. if you lost in the beginning, then you can lose in your new beginning! good luck! lisa6

what a fantastic idea. renewed motivation is key.

many of us are food addicts, and like any addict, if you fall off the wagon, it's like you never stopped using, you start all over again from scratch. i am not saying you are an addict, OR that you fell off the wagon, just comparing how important starting over is on such a tough, life-long, journey.

great idea! Best of luck!!

I think it is a GREAT idea! Anything to kickstart the motivation!!! Good luck!
