I am so sick and tired of everything I eat being questioned by everyone that knows I have the band, are you supposed to be eating that? Did they expect that I would stop eating entirely? I was told from the start, the "no" foods, pasta, bread, potatoes, rice. But then I see people on here that are eating those things. My husband said, this is nothing more than the atkins diet. He thought the whole point of the band was to decrease portions, no matter what you ate, thus, weight loss. I have tried to explain to him that in light of portions size being small, I have to choose proteins to keep my hair from falling out, and my organs and muscles from suffering, but I still don't think he gets it. If I were single for awhile, this might be easier.

how tall are u, how old, how much did u start at?

Hi,

Glad to see someone else short here. I'm 4'10.5" and weigh 195. I am holding on to hope that this will get me to where you want to be also. I've tried everything else, and you know too, that short ppl have no where to hide a pound, do we? anavrin

Hi blue,

I am a nurse also, I do home health in Fla, and I do love it. SO, have you been banded? I keep looking for encouragement, I know the band is only a tool to help lose, but I have so many expectations, and high hopes. I see that ppl have erosion and get rebanded. I don't know what I would do if it didn't last. I am so short, 4' 10", and weigh 193. I want to get to get down to 120. I am 48 y/o plz write back. anavrin
