I want to try the lapband...should I?
I had the RNY Gastric bypass 3 years ago, since i've lost about 100 lbs but gained back about 35-40. i'm scared to get on the scale and my clothes don't fit at all. i've had to buy almost a whole new wardrobe. i try to put on a good face but i know that i'm not doing what i'm supposed to do. old habits are creeping back and i can't seem to stop it. what to do? i've thought about having the surgery again but don't want to go through all that...i'm considering the lapband but not sure. I don't know what to do. i haven't contacted a surgeon yet, i'm just running some ideas across to some folks who know first hand what i'm going through... HELP!!!
you HAVE the only tool you need. YOU just need to go back and "read the instruction manual" ..if you "know that im not doing what im supposed to do" then you need to take control and DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO...
why would you even consider putting yourself through another surgery when you have all the supplies you need right inside??!
i am 3.5 years out and have also gained 30# ..i had life changes, stress and NOT DOING WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING that contributed to the regain...in the last month, i have just made up my mind to get these extra pounds off ...
i lurked around this site for a couple weeks before seeing a post about the 5 Day Pouch Test.......this ended up being a great thing for me ..it really worked..made me see that i had "forgotten" the rules ..it helped me cut the carb cravings ..and has continued to ..i did the 5DPT the week of 6/17-6/21 and then again last week 6/30-7/4..ive been ADDICTED to Mcd's Sweet Tea for a year and a half and ive not wanted any since doing the 5DPT, in the time i was doing the 5dpt and RE-TRAINING my brain and getting back to the basics...i also experienced an 11# loss...if you'd like to know more on how it worked for me ...just message
RULES THAT I FORGOT:
1. PROTEIN AND SUPPLEMENTS
2. EXERCISE
3. 30 MIN RULE (no liquids 30 min before or after eating)
4. DRINK YOUR WATER (atleast 64oz/per)
5. LISTEN to your pouch ..COMMUNICATE with it. it will tell you what it needs to.
