I am also greatful for this thread. I was banded on May 16, 2008 and am feeling the frustration of coming up to my anniversary and not meeting my goal. In the first 4 months after getting my band I got down to 237 from 276 and was excited. Then from September to now I have slowly gained back 20 pounds. But i have been reading various posts and have been re-inspired by my band. Random question: Do any of you get a cramp in your left arm when you don't eat hardly anything during the day, or when you have eaten junk all day. Just curious. Abby :ohmy:

I so agree. For me it is learning to eat with intention and not to eat as a social activity. My fear is that I won't enjoy eating anymore, that I will only use food for nutrition. I get banded on Friday and already know that this was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. :thumbup:
