I have gained 3 lbs. Maybe a little more. I haven't weighed myself. I go to the doctor Monday, July 20, 2009 for my fifth fill. (I think its my fifth)

I have been feeling down and out about not working out and my eating habits haven't been so good. It have been 12 weeks since I had a fill. I was at my sweet spot for a while and now no restriction. Thanks to this site I am feeling better.

Like my title says I'm not going to give up.....can't afford to. I gave all my big clothes away. And I am not buying any more.

Just wanted to up date every one. It had been months since I wrote in my journal. Feel welcome to leave me some feed back. And tell me about your experiences with being banded.

No, don't give up. You can do it. I have only been banded for 2 and 1/2 weeks and I know this process is a little stressful but just stay positive and focus on your health. Don't beat yourself up if you cheat a little. Just start fresh the next day. This is a start to a whole new you. Remember to eat your protein first and drink lots of water. Try to take a walk every morning or evening, it will make you feel better. Good luck to you. Stay POSITIVE!!
