Haven't posted in 3 years
Just checking in after not being on the form in 3 years. I couldn't even remember the web address to find this forum. I haven't lost any more weight. For whatever reason, I just stopped. I haven't gained either. But I do still need to drop about 30 lbs. Well maybe I have gained some since my very lowest weigh in at 169.5. I'm now about 182. For some reason, I became okay with it. I'm ready to move forward now. I'm hopeful I won't need a fill but am willing to go get one if I need it.
Welcome back. And it sounds as if you have done well. It's very easy to get complacent! I regained not once but twice but have been able to lose it both times. A case of getting the mindset back!
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
Make sure first if all your fill level us right - not to prevent you eating but to make you eat a bit more slowly.
then do whatever worked for you in 2007. My way might not work, I didn't journal or count, I just ate well! But the key is
protein first, then crunchy veggies, then carbs if room left.
Eat a sensible amount and then walk away, didn't stay to pick!
Snacks if any should be filling and nutritious

Welcome Back!
Lapband - Jan 2009 weight goal reached with lapband. Revised to VSG- 1/25/16
For me, I have to track everything going into my mouth and record it. And measure it. Otherwise I fall into the "that look about right" and may be trice as much as I think or half the protein than I thought.
I also had to get moving to lose and keep those last 20 off. That and I went to a therapist when getting the band removed and sleeved and that helped. I dealt with issue and had accountability.
