I love this entire thread. I am new to this site. I recently joined because I haven't been able to make it every month to my monthly support group and I felt I needed a place to "meet" with other Bandsters. I agree with all of you! For me, reading your posts and the support of my family helps keep me on track. Not that I don't indulge in treats from time to time, but I am 4 months out, down 48 lbs. and feeling pretty good restriction with my third and most recent fill. I am happy so far. Weight loss has slowed down but as long as I continue to lose I will be happy.
