Need a buddy for a bander Gaining weight,off the path, and afraid to tell her doctor.

Hi,
I am Joy and I am a 53 year old bander with 150 pounds to lose (more tomorrow). I was banded last August lost 30 pounds,and crashed ever since.
I have recieved two fills but they just did not click.

I am starting from day one again. I am willing and motivated but seem to be afraid to actually get it done. If you like a willing challenge, I'm your girl.

i am 56 this is my last chance to live an kind of healthly life and may be yours also. do you want to say fat and unmotivated? get the rest of your fills, don't go out to eat and don't put foods in the hz that can tempt you. commit to a short walk every day start with 15 minutes a day. i have grandkids and i owe it to them to live and be able to go places and keep up with everyone else walking. all forieners say we americans eat like pigs and it is true. i have to make this work for myself and my love for my family. committ and try again take one day at a time. you can do it. oxxo

hope all is going ok. stick with it. look up some healthy reciepes on the inter net. i do it by typing in a food i like such as cauliflower or ground turkey and it will then give reciepes contaning these foods. using spices is the key to great tasting food and i don't mean spicey spices. after i found a bunch of reciepes i liked i printed them and if 2 or more called for a certain spice i put it on a list to buy. so now i have my hz stocked with good foods and the spices to make them taste great its fun. try it. tell me some foods you like and if i have a good reciepe i'll send it to ya!!!

Joy-
How's it going now? It's been about a month since you posted. R you back on plan, eating like a bandster? Remember to take it one day at a time, one pound at a time ;)
