Topic: RE: Starting over - reprise

I am also starting again after having some complications and being too tight. I am completely emptied at this time and am hungry all of the time. I have gained back 70 of the 80 that I lost. I am trying so hard to eat right but it is so difficult for me ( had a bad afternoon because there was a baby shower with cake) I have a very long ways to go and it feels very discouraging. I am trying to take it one day at a time. good luck!!

Topic: RE: I Need Support - Returning Here After Years
Thank you for replying and sharing your story. It helps to know that I'm not alone. After I posted this, I stopped drinking during meals and have noticed an improvement. I also am on day 3 of the 5 day pouch test, and SURPRISE! My band actually still works. I had just figured out a way to avoid it. I have my doctor's appointment on Friday. I'll let you know how it goes. Also please let me know how you're doing as well. http://www.5daypouchtest.com

Bridget, i am right here with you.  my lap band surgery was in 2009.  I went fron 307 to 242, but then got over- confident and started to try different foods. Before I knew it i was drinking with meals and gaining weight.  i am back up to 274 and miserable.  i have just scheduled a return visit to my surgeon and today have promised myself to stop drinking with and after eating.  i am trying to get my mind back to where it was when i first had surgery.  i saw the othere posts to you, and they are right.  we can start over any time.

i wish you well, and i would like to hear how you are doing!  good luck!

Thank you so much for letting us know. I am so sorry about Kate. She and I had been exchanging messages about a week or so ago. It really drives home the fact that life is so uncertain.  I truly hope she will rest in peace. My condolences to her family.

I just saw this post. Kate will be truly missed. Such sad news. 

She was such a kind person and a great source of knowledge for the bandsters.

I have had a day to process this and I can tell you my heart hurts more today as I came back on OH and read all the posts on all the forums, I love reading how Kate touched so many here . Karen! I know this had to be hard for you but thanks again for letting us all know. We all loved Kate and will miss her terribly. There are only a couple of you that have been a constant presents on my journey. You all have made my journey easier,  knowing I could come on here and ask questions and get support from you , Kate, and Bette. I will truly miss her. I pray for her and her family.
