Well honestly, I have to say I am in a similar position. I have tried the Weight Watchers for couple months and I tried Phentermine(?) for a couple weeks but thats it. Honestly, I KNOW that diets are just diets and dont work long term (usually). I didnt want to waste my time/money with atkins or south beach or anything else like that because I knew it wasnt realistic to do that my whole life. I think with the band though that it will be a lifestyle change that I am ready to make. The band will be with me everyday, not like weight watchers where i have one supportive meeting a week. Just my two cents but I can see where you could be frustrated too. You feel like you have put more effort into this and maybe deserve it more but Im sure your friend would still like some support.
