Let me start by saying I love this site. So many inspirational, motivating stories, nice people and a place to share/say anything. Well, I haven't had the band yet- I am desperately hoping for Sept. or Oct.- but I am freaking out this weekend. I am working on my goals my nutritionist and I set up for the month of June and I am doing well with the no soda thing.....but the chewing/waiting one minute between bites...not doing so well. I also question myself (I have read other posts of people who have felt this way too.) and my ability to "get it done" this time. I have spent most of my adult life battling my weight, trying, succeeding and then ultimately gaining weight back on every possible diet. Im scared, but so ready for a change. Ugh...Im just really complaining today!! :thumbup: Good luck to everyone and thanks for the forum for support!

I struggled with the same thing also not drinking with my meals. But after my 2nd fill, when I could really feel the restriction, I learned that I had to wait between bites and not drink with meals or else the food would get stuck or I would loose what just went down. Trust me, after experiencing the sickness that follows from not following the "rules," you learn quickly to follow them! I've had plenty of ups and downs since being banded but I'm starting to see the weight fall off now and I wouldn't change anything for the world. Hang in there, you'll do fine!
