Well, I am a little late.... But I made it.... LOL.... I have been so side tracked this week with everything... Anyway.... The depression is slowly getting better... They changed my meds last week and I think it was a very good change... Each day is a little bit better than the day before....
So here are my stats....
Highest weight - 309
Lowest weight - 157
Last weeks weight - 223
This weeks weight - 223
I am just thankful that I didn't gain any weight this week.... Even if I hold at this weight that will be fine with me... Of course I would love to be back on Onederland, but as long as I don't go any higher.... I really think the reason for the initial gain was all the alcohol I was drinking, since that is now gone (almost 2 months clean and sober) My weight is holding steady... Now I just need to cut back on the junk I am eating and I will be doing good.... :-)

I made it to 138.5 today. I haven't seen the 130's since I had a surgery last year and couldn't work out for weeks. I'm soooo happy. Now...how to keep it off...
I'm exercising two hours a day at a very high intensity. Eventually my body will get used to that and then what?I guess I will worry about that another day. Today I'm just going to be happy!

79 pages is a lot! But what would we do without you?! You are our glue. That's one of the reasons why we love you!Wanda
Have you tried to post this on teh lap band forum - so yu can get MORE specific answers from others whove been banded. I know we have a few here too.
I think it really all comes down to will and being DERTERMINED tomake this work. It's no magic pill (WLS of anykind) I still struggle daily to remain at goal. I fought for every pound i lost. I never felt as is the weight *just fell off* as some described. I worked hard. If i get lazy and go back to my old ways and bad eating habits. My SCALE QUICLKLY REMINDS me that I cannotget away with that! I gain.
I think you need to talk with your surgeon / nutritionist about your concerns with getting your band tightened.
Either way - we are here to support you!
you can change - -IT IS A LOT OF HARD WORK ....but step by step, day by day, YOU WILL GET there!
YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE .... you are posting here .... looking for help - that is in no way a FAILURE!
