Very true! I am definitely focusing on small, obtainable goals for myself & trying hard to stay off the scale. Even though I opted to have surgery as that extra push I needed, I know that slow & steady wins the race. THANK YOU!

Yes, I have been eating white carbs. No excuse, just yes, in moderate amounts.   Well, I guess I do know what's going on, just in denial. It's funny(sad) how I can just blind myself to the truth. This site and bloggers have always kept me honest, I guess that's why I stayed off.  I won't be doing that again.

Thank you so much for asking. I have gained 20 more pounds, I have been trying really hard to eat right, I just don't know what is going on. I feel so out of control!  I have signed up for a bariatric seminar with a different doctor. Not sure where that will go, I think I'm going to explore the different surgical options or at least see if this doc will follow me with my band.  My surgeon, the one who placed the band, wants $185.00 a visit for fills.  How are you doing?  

Thanks again!!

Thank you for your advice!!
