It has been a little over 3 months since I was banded, and things are going great. Every once in a while I, don't chew well enough, and then I feel the uncomfortable side affects. I have lost 60 pounds. I was wearing a size 28 in jeans, and as of yesterday I can wear a size 18! I know that without my mom by my side the whole entire time, I would not have been ale to go on! There have been many time that I have cried over what I know I cant eat. Its all been a learning process. I have managed so far not to gain any weight (thank God!! ), but I find my self getting frustrated because I feel that I haven't lost enough weight! I think my main fear is that I will go back o weighing 346pounds!And I NEVER want to be that big again in my life! Being 16 years old with the lab band is very much difficult but I would not change it for the World!!!!!!!!
