Check out yesterday's post. Then if you want, send me an email at amy.workman@gmail.com and we can compare notes!

Thanks for the comment! Honestly, I just have been eating less because of the lap-band. I have been walking and working out some but other than that, that's it. Also, the only thing I drink is water and unsweet tea now, hardly ever anything else. I try to stay away from drink that have a lot of sugar in them. What you lost is still great, don't give up. I know I had time where I hit a patch were I didn't loose any. Hope everything goes well!

I understand what you mean, but it comes with the territory. My focus is not to let now one blow my good thang. So when they come just sake it off. In the mean time enjoy your journey.

With all respect I would like to correct you in response stating that I am not restricted. I do have some restriction I can tell in my portion size instead of eating the whole plate like I use to, I now can only eat half. I do not want my band so tight till where I can't even drink water or eating a slice of meat without getting sick. And that's the testimony that I hear from some people. I also will like the state that I'm right on target, I am losing my 2-3 pounds a week as expected. Remember the band is a tool, we must still practice discipline. So my dear I do have some restrictions, it's just not super tight. I just had my second fill 3/17/09 and up till this date I have lost 6 pounds.

Hi when you first start getting your fills depending on how much the doctor fills you with you are restricted but it's not drastic, but know that you do have the restriction. Pay attention and compare on how you use to eat in the past vs how much you can eat now. Sometimes I feel like I'm not on restriction but I know that I do have one, (e.g. instead of eating a whole sub sandwich, french fries and a drink) like I use to do now I only eat 1/2 a sandwich a couple of fries and some ice cubes, (I can still eat what I want, I don't feel deprived), but over all I've learn that the band is just a tool and you have change your relationship with food (learn to choose the right food) get active and you will see the change. Don't be discourage just change your food diet and get active.

I'm so happy for you. I know that all is going to go well. I was band 12/08 and I have not had any probrems. Remember that the band is just "A Tool", not a miricle worker, but I can tell you this, if you work with the band it will work for you. I've lost 54 pounds up til this date and I feel great. I can't even tell that the band is there, I'm very active. Well, tell we talk again, God Bless you and I'm excited about your future.

Hi, I was banded 12/08 and what I've come to realized that everybody is different with different experiences. But I will say stay positive, even if you feel like that you is not losing the weight as fast as others. Me and a friend had the procedure done at the same time, my weight loss is more noticeable than hers, but I she looks great, but she don't see it yet. So in a nut shell "DON'T COMPARE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS WITH OTHERS". It's been three months and I feel great, I have lost 51 pounds thus far. Remember that band is a tool and it do work but you got to work with it. Get familar with the band and know what your food portion side is. Remember stay positive and all is going to work out fine. -
I'm happy for you, everything is going to go great. Keep us posted.

Keep up the good work. I'm so happy for you. I'm at 230 from 282 since 12/08. I feel good as well. I just brought a vitamix, so I know that pounds are really about to fall off.

I'm happy for you, everything is going to be GREAT. I was band 12/08 and it's been great. I lost 51 pounds thus far. I have not been in any pain. I got energy out of this world. My back and feet don't hurt any more. God bless looking for to hearing from you.
