Hi. Looks like you have quite a fan base here. GREAT work, for sure. I was banded on 2/13 and lost 12 pds the first week and have lost 2 pds the second, but I guess now that my stomach swelling has gone down. I feel very little restriction for quantity of food. I have to chew well and eat slowly but to fill me up and keep me full I can eat considerably more than a few onces like they recommend. For instance, for lunch today - I ate about 8 ounces of chopped kale. I am not overly full. If you remember, can you tell me a little bit about the beginning of your journey? Did you experience this before your first fill? Should I only eat a few ounces and deal with my stomach grumbling? Any advice you could lend would be great. I so want to be successful. Also could you tell me when and what you did for exercise? Thanks so much and way to go! Karen
