If I may offer some advise... dont get over filled. I just tried that approach and it didnt work. I barely lost any weight and I was throwing up and not being able to eat enough. I just had a lot taken out yesterday and I feel much better. I dont eat perfectly at all, but thats ok. This is life...not a diet! Keep yourself hydrated, sleep well and workout and the weight will come off. I have only lost 37 lbs in 9 months but VERY slowly its coming off. You will get there. Just remember, trust me, dont think that having more restriction will help you... it does NOT. Good luck to you!!

Thanks for the advice kelly!

Kelly is right, never over fill. Just when you feel full STOP eating. You can do it. I try and eat before I go anyplace so I don't eat in front of anyone and I just socialize while they are stuffing their faces. No matter what kind of food they have, I think to myself........I am full and don't want to over eat cause if I threw up in front of anyone, it would be awful.

As far as the weekends, everyday is a weekend for me. I am old and retired soooooooo you can think of your weekends of being a week day and eat like you do during the week. Easier said than done......right??? Good luck to you.

Thanks for the great advice Judy! I will keep that in mind!

my friend and i (she's not banded) just had this convo the other day. we almost feel like we deserve to do what we want on the weekend since we've been good all week. well that's what got me where i am! LOL! I just got my first fill on friday so i'll start solids again on mon. i cant wait to see what my new "full" feels like. i am petrified of throwing up so i'm sure i'll stop before that happens. Hope you're weekend is goin good so far.
