Thank goodness I found you guys!! This is my first thread. I got banded on June 30th as well. So far I only lost 25 pounds. I think it's mental. Fills don't help to keep me focused. I can eat small amounts of everything, I have never gotten sick at all. I find it hard to keep motivated. (I'm the loose 2 pounds girl, too) A good tool I found was a food diary on www.mealsmatter.org I printed four days on a page double sided and carry it with me everywhere.
I started out with a BMI of 40. I have heard that the lower your BMI the less you'll lose. I don't know how true that is, but with the holidays coming up I need to be more disciplined and it's hard.:closedeyes:
