Help.. Iam fat again!

I had a by-pass six yrs ago, it almost killed me buy worked. my best firend/ ex fiancee killed himself last year and guess what? iam an emtional eater! I have gained 40 lbs... I am thinking about a band and didnt know what insurances thought about two timers??? Any advice. thanks

I am sorry for all your troubles, but before you jump into another wls, please see a counselor and work on your emotional issues (fiance's death and "emotional' eating).  If you do this and go back to bypass diet basics, perhaps you can shed those 40 lbs.  Good luck.

thank you so much for the response! I have seen a counsler and it is helping! It is jus tso hard after losing all that wieght and putting some back on, i feel like my body has betrayed me! Thanks again!

With or without wls, losing wright is hard work.  I think though that once you have wls, you have to make the best of it and "make" it keep working for you since we have chosen the most drastic wl step available for us (surgery).  Keep working hard, you can win this battle again.  Good luck.

I am so sorry about your loss,,and about your weight regain. But please be assured, the tool still works!! Go back to basics, protein firs****er water water and exercise!! It will come off.  Go to the main message board and check out the Time Out  posts...you will be encouraged. And hang in there,,you can do it,,and it will come back off. Be patient,,one day at a time!

thank you for the kind words..i will go back to the basics!!! i apprecaite the encouragement!

Hi. I am sorry for your loss. I too am an emotional eater. My doctor told me you cant have a band after bypass though :( you can have bypass after the band but not the other way around. Try to go back to basics and start from there. I started doing the time out diet that is posted and it is helping me wonderfully! I have lost 10 pounds in 3 days. It is hard though. Good luck!  332/155/140 start/current/goal

thanks for the response.. i will go to the time out diet! thank you for the kind words!

I was told by the Doctor that we can have band afters GBP.I also gained 18-20 lb.I hate myself.I am trying to be good for a few days and then I am going back to pig out. We are in the same bout.If you have any ideas please let me know Thanks EK

the bad part about it...it almost killed me, i had a leak and was in the hospital for 6 weeks.... i feel like i cant lose any weight no matter what i try!!!!!
