i ned support

i am 18 months into my surgery before the holidays i was 100 pounds down since the holidays i and now only 80 lbs down and very upset with myself.  I had some medical issues which being a lap band patient had to have my port adjusted so that i  would be able to eat because i had lost 20 lbs in 8 days. With that i ate more junk food than anything and now I need support with getting back on the wagon.  If all could please give me any kind of help with getting my ass back together I would greatly appreciate it.  Also if you had fallen off what did you do to get back on.  This sh-t is tough it really is an addiction.

Knowing where you went wrong is half the battle. No need to beat yourself up. Just go back to eating and exercising the way you know how. Tomorrow is another day.

yes i know where i went wrong (sugar eating tooooo much sugar) and now i am trying to keep it out of my diet but it is hard very very hard.

I can imagine how you feel, I'm trying to get myself together as well.  Are you able to get a fill now?  I have put off having an adjustment because I "get stuck" often yet I'm eating the wrong things. I have promised myself to get on track after Jan 25 th (my Bday) and then it's on and poppin!  I went back and read my initial post to regain the mindset that I had at that point and now getting back into "good habits".

I have gotten an adjustment during the holiday season but my problem is sugar it seems that regular food is hard to keep down but sugar (cakes, cookies, ice cream) stays down fine.  I got back on my wagon on Monday of this week and  have been doing pretty good so far but let me tell you it is hard.  Sometime I don't want to eat anything if I can not eat junk.  I have though been juicing my fruit and vegtables again and eating alot of nuts to keep my mind off the bad thing. 

Also thank you for your nice comment on my picture.  It was not until I took the pictures in the red dress that i could even see that i had lost weight.  In those pics I think I was down 80 so right now I am back there.

Hi,

I can totally understand what you mean.  I am only grateful that I had the RNY because I dump from the smell of something tooo sweet.  even with that I have had my temptations and it is like crack I have to have it.  By the second bite or taste I am dumping heaving and ready to die.  Begging God to help me.  I have not had an issue with gaining because of it or stalling.  But, I feel your pain and the best thing I can suggest is go to a support group.  I used to live in Sayreville and I know there is a great support group in the Raritan Bay Medical Center the Perth Amboy Division.  I went every month and it was great to keep me on point just seeing other people on the same page as em going through the same stuff.

Thank you I keep saying I wanted to go the that support group but I did not know anyone who had been I do know that it's the 3rd Thursday of every month.  I am going to try to make it this month because I really need it.

Thank you

If your fill (adjustment) is such that you can only eat junk, you may be too tight, sometimes when one get close to the sweet spot, they really dont need a "fill" but more of a tweak.  Sometimes something as small as .01 is all is needed.  However if you know that sweetness is your weakness...dont have it available.

Good luck.
