8 years post op...loosing control and scared
Hi all....I had lap band 8 years ago. Over 6 years and a baby later I mainted 190 lb lost. My lowest weight was 173.6 I am 6 feet tall...I felt beautiful in a size 10 and paid out of pocket for a total body lift. BEST money ever spent...still paying it off. Over the last year I have gained 30 lbs, weighing 205. SQUEEZING into a size 12. I need to get control, I need to get a plan. I vomit all the time because I love to eat. I have had heart trouble due to the vomiting...my secret. HOW can I gain control? Please help.
You can gain control..start where you are and see what you can change. Journal your foods and take a look at the list..figure a small place you change alittle. Just change a bit at a time. Don't try and conquer the whole world in a day, it's a process.
cut down on the sugar, cut WAY back..cut down on the fat and white carbs or cut it out completely at least for a time. But mostly see where you can change things. And then move more. I suggest starting with parking further away from where you're shopping..walk more. Instead of picking up the phone, walk to that person's office in person..

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
