I agree with brenda. It does sound to me like you and eat quite a bit... but there are also a LOT of factors.... the weather actually affects my band... different foods...if you are eating or drinking with your food....there may be a lot of different things.... my dr says when I throw up I should do liquids only for AT LEAST the rest of the day if not then next day... I actually threw up earlier because i waited to long to eat and didnt chew my food the way i should. I ate chicken broth it was warm and soothed my stomach as well as making me feel full. Good luck

Thanks for your post! I threw out all or my ranch dressing, blue cheese and BBQ sauce... I have lost 4lbs in the 2 days that I put myself first and followed the

'rules". It really is about doing the right thins... but in the same sense if I was ALWAYS good about following the "rules" I would not have needed the lap band. Anyways I appreciate your post and you are so right. Congratulations on your weight loss. You are a strong person!

Aw! Thank You! That is inspiring! Im looking forward to my appointment on friday!

Thank you! and you are right... I have been making a ton of excuses... I recently got engaged (wedding planning) and also started nursing school... and with the stress of everything it makes it easy to make exuses... Im also TERRIBLE at putting my self first... I just joined a gym (my christmas gift to my self) and called the girls that car pool with me to school and told them if they would like to continue to ride with me that they would have to either go to the gym or find something to do while I was there! Im excited and after reading some of these stories, deleting facebook and putting my christmas decorations up i feel very motivated! Thanks again!
