should I be disappointed????

I'm 5'2 and once weighed 280 I now weigh 157 and am three years out. I have kept off the weight for one year because it took me two to loose that much. I was also self pay and I let that motivate me to loose and not gain back. I'm sorry but the band as u know is a tool not a miracle you must learn to use it. For me when I gained 10 lbs it was because of eating around the band . Cookies and candy and soup and pudding got me the extra weight. I then remembered the 18,000 I spent and started back with the proteins and fruits and veggies. Don't let yourself defeat the band. Our blame game when we are obese (for me anyways) was to blame my genetics or family or depression. It is and always will be a choice of what we put in our mouths. You have the choice of how you use your band. Maybe I'm in the minority but I realize I can work with the band or against it. It's your choice. If you need any help please message me and don't give up! YOU CAN SUCCEED if you allow yourself. God Bless You
