  1. I went to a presentation by a local surgeon and I had never heard of the band. When we left the presentation my husband and I both agreed that the band was the surgery to have. I have lost 41 lbs in 2 1/2 months. I exersise everyday and eat correctly. It gives me the responsibility of my weight loss which builds my self esteem. I love my band and my bandland friends. Good luck....

    Husbands

    Hi, I have my computer, he has his computer and we have another one that guests use. We seldom use one anothers computer.... As far as time spent on LBT. It did bother him in the beginning, but now I try not to stay on to long and I discuss things that are going on so he feels "conneted". During March Madness, I could be in the bedroom having an affair and he wouldn't notice. LOL When he comes in the bedroom or calls me I now know that I have been on long enough and I just exit out. Just like Paula said... no "hang on" "i'll call you back" or "don't feel like talking". I think communication is the key....

    Need A Fill

    Sue, Where do you live?
  10. Michelle, It took a lot of courage to 1) admit you were doing this to yourself and 2) tell all of us and ask for help! Good for you ...... Sometimes when I feel I am falling into old patterns I mention it to my DH and then it isn't as easy for me to "trick" the band because someone else knows..... Don't be so hard on yourself! Try doing what others suggested ... one suggestion at a time and you will get back on track.... Good luck and come on and share with us.... we are here for you:biggrin1:

    It works

    Congrats on the weight loss.... that is awesome! I believe, just for me, that the band and I are working together to fight this battle. It is a lot of work for me, but it is so worth it. If it was easy would I learn to correct my bad eating habits? NO. I would just repeat them. Day by day I learn how to healthier and of course looking better is the bomb!!!!!! Thanks for posting..... you an inspiration:clap2:
  13. Oh Anne.... I am so sorry! You poor thing! You have been such a good freind I am sending big ((((HUGS))))) your way. Wow! I knew you were having problems, but I am surprised... I am glad they were able to take care of everything in one surgery. Be well.... take care and rest. Love, donna

  16. Have I done it... YUP! Made the most awesome steak on the grill for DH. It made my mouth Water. I knew I couldn't swallow it. I cut a piece, chewed it... got the flavor.... spit it out. IT WAS AWESOME! I got rid of the craving and that was the end of it. Yes, I will take the calories and the fat.... Just wanted that taste. Everything in moderation. If I was doing it everyday, problem. Once in awhile to get past a craving.... no problem. THIS IS MY OPINION FOR MY WEIGHT LOSS ... NOT MEANT FOR EVERYONE lol

    2nd Fill Kickin In :)

    YaaaHooooo! The girl got restriction!!!!!!! OUCH on the PB, but you know I have been there more times then I want to share about ... LOL
  19. Everyone's doctor says something different. Mine said no soda and I haven't had a soda since surgery. Part of having the surgery is changing the way we eat. My way of eating got me fat .... I now have to do it someone elses way. If that means giving up soda... so be it! THE ABOVE MENTIONED STATEMENT IS MY OPINION AND NOT MEANT TO TELL ANYONE ELSE WHAT TO DO ... LOL
