Well I am here Should have been here sooner..I have gained some weight and need to get back on track and not sure how to do it..I have figured out Im a stress eater..and took some college classes and I put on some weight with no excerise and excessive eating... What do I do now??HELP!!

Hi gang!  I'm a little late but I do check in on occasion.  I, too, am an emotional eater.  The post divorce fallout has assisted about 30 pounds coming back on my body.  I'm trying desperately to get it off.  Depression really doesn't work well with weight loss.  But, I did it before and I'll do it again.  Before Satan left he shredded my WLS notebook.  I have no clue what vitamins and such I'm supposed to take.  I try to get in some shakes but I have days where I want no part of food and other days where I could literally eat everything in the house.  But, I'm determined to get it off yet again.  So good to see so many of you coming back!

I didn't realize that it was 5 years today.  I had my band removed due to intractable reflux in August.  The reflux first began about year after I got the band and never fully went away, especially after a fill.  I went from 4+ cc to 0 and still had reflux.  Having aspirated 3 times with a spike in temperature and antibiotics twice was more than enough.  And the reflux was even at 6 am after not eating since 7 pm.  I am trying to avoid gaining more weight without the band.  It is difficult since there is no restriction at all.  I do wish everyone well but the band was not for me.   I am going to have to do this the old fashioned way--Weigh****chers!
