I'm so glad to hear this. I was banded on 12/7 and feel great - have lost 16lbs. Even went to a Christmas party yesterday and did very good. Didn't even feel like eating much. I'm so excited that everything is going well though I do understand I might stall but so far so good. I was never a foodie - just ate bad choices and could never make it through any diets without giving up. Maybe that's why its easier?? I love everyone's support on here - I'm hooked!! Thanks!
