Gaining

Have gained nearly 30 lbs since dropping over 80 when I had the lap band in 2004. Had several adjustments over the three years. Scheduled to have another adjustment next week. Any suggestions for diet...it's been a while and I am now going to go back to the original diet for a few weeks. Clear liquids for first six days, then gradually adding puree, etc. Here' hoping I can drop at leas the 30 lb. I put back on.

Hi I was pretty much in the same boat as you... I started to gain too. It was because I had let myself slip back into my old habits... eatting junk, drinking pop, and not exercising. Then one day I decided I was being dumb... why would I let myself go back towards the person that I tried so hard to get away from. I think there are a lot of diet/eating plans out there and you need to choose the one that is right for you. The important thing is to just to stick with it... and remind yourself how hard you worked to get where you are. I joined weigh****chers.... it's pretty compatible with the wls eatting plans plus it provides a support group and a weekly weigh in. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the encouragement. You are absolutely right. Why go through all the effort and allow yourself to regress to what you were. I am having an adjustment this week and then back on track with diet and exercise. Take care.

I am gaining as well. I am strugging!! After losing my job unable to have fills. So I have gained 30 plus pounds. I have a new job, hopefully the new policy will cover fills. Be encouraged that we will lick this and start losing again!
