This is in response to your comment to my picture. You asked me what I attribute my success to. In the beginning it was diet, but the last few months I have had to up the exercise. I am now jogging two miles every other day. I never thought I would ever say I jogged. haha Hope this helps some.

I was like that too during my first fill but I just had my second fill and I can tell you that you will notice a big difference after that. I am up to 6 cc or 6.5 cc and I am lucky to finish a small plate of food. I am really trying to be aware of the types of food I am eating. Eating junk will get me no where so I am really working to eat more filling foods that are better for me. I am really looking at this band as a tool and I am the one that has to decide how to use it. I definitely think it will be a while before I need another fill. I hope we can all stay positive because that is the best way to succeed.

I have been a little bummed lately too as I have only lost 17lbs. But I had only one fill. I just had my second fill and I am noticing a HUGE difference in my ability to eat. I think he filled me to 6cc or 6.5cc. Plus my doctor says that I am probably building muscle since I am consistently working out 3 days a week. I really want to be successful this. For awhile I was struggling with eating the right stuff too. I am getting much better with my choices so I think as that goes on I will lose more too. My husband was banded also and I get jealous because he has lost 50+ pounds already. Feel free to email me anytime also. emw4066@hotmail.com.

Will I Ever Stop Thinking About Food?!
emw4066 replied to serenity55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on 03/27 and I am really struggling with the eating to live not living for eating. I am constantly fighting with my want to eat even though I know I am not hungry or I know I will feel uncomfortable. I am hoping with my first fill on 05/06 that the intensity for food will go down but I am really nervous. Plus I have only lost like 9 lbs. I was hoping for at least 15 so far. I know slow and steady wins the race but I am afraid my thoughts of food are going to overtake me. Any suggestions? -

Thank you for your kind comments on my picture.
I did start out working out but i am ashamed to adimit I have not done it in quite some time. I Do however lead a very active life now . Running around all the time with my kids activitities. I am always on the go .
My arms have bat wings, they are not as tone as they appear to be. My fault I shoudl have be toning them up and they would look better.
Thank you for your sweet words !

Well I am not going to be a band twin...but close. I will be banded on 03/27. I am excited and scared. My husband and I are going through this together. He was banded in Dec 08 and has already lost over 40lbs. This is going to be a long haul to the finish line, but I am ready.
