Wow, we all have stopped coming here.....I check in every now and then, and am amazed how were on here everyday before and right after surgery. Now, stop in every few weeks.

I have been plateaued again...I fractured my foot, and also tore a ligament in the same spot, have had a cast on my foot for 8 weeks. Haven't lost a pound in over 2 months.

Now, have lots of personal things going on, family issues, people close to me losing their jobs, a breakup, massive expensive car repairs, etc. In the old days I would have been binging on food. Now haven't, the only thing of my former eating habits I did was finish a 1.75 quart container of ice cream over 3 days. And I felt guilty about that. Never had I felt guilty about eating something. It was a weird thing.

I don't know, posting it here makes me feel better. Its funny, it took 20 months for me to do something this reckless with food, and it bothers me.....Boy, have I changed.

Hello Chrisann,

I am still active on the boards but I post most on the Shrinking Violets April '07 thread. It is very active daily and it was just so quiet over here I stopped checking much.

I have lost all of my weight and am in maintenance mode. I had a baby in June and she is doing great. However, unfortunately and sadly, my band slipped while I was in the hospital with the baby. I ended up needing a band replacement in September.

I originally had a Realize band and now have the large 14cc size Allergan band. I have only had one fill so far and am struggling with my choices again but my weight is still within goal range. However, I know without the band and fills it wont stay in an acceptable range because my hunger has come back full force.

All and all things are well. Even with the complication, I still feel like banding was the best thing I ever did for myself.

You look great in your picture and hopefully things are looking up and life has calmed down over the last months. :0)
