i went and visited some of my friends and they all know i've had the band done. So, they were all like, how come you haven't lost like 50lbs already. Good Freak'n grief people, i've already lost 35 and i'm pretty dang excited abt it. And you wanna rain on my parade!! I guess what they don't realize is that i didn't get fat over night. It took years for me to get this big, and its gonna take some work and big effort on my part to get it all off. Yea, i wish it would all just come off so easily but its not. I gotta work at it and with the band, its not so hard. So, while my friends stuff there faces with burgers and fries and drink tons of soda. I'll be xtremly happy with small salad. I'll have my water in an hour. LOL bc sooner or later its all gonna catch up with ya. Then you'll have a big caboose and i'll be slim, fit and ready to take on the world! LOL

I might answer them, "If I was 'dieting' I might lose weight faster, but with the band its just reasonable healthy eating and slow weight loss is best." Not that I think 35 pounds is slow or anything to discount! You're doing great!!! Cali

I think the perception is that the band is just like RNY and the weight will fall off you, and that it does it for you...that was actually my thought before I looked into it. I think it's a matter of educating people that it's still all up to you, there isn't any malabsorbtion or magic and you're losing just like you should with the band. You're doing great, keep it up and you're right, you'll get there! -BG
