i haven't alwayz lost weight the healthy way...but i can say this from the day i had my surgery....2 almost 2 years post-op i immediately changed my lifestyle...its not what i ate and how i exercised...it was a whole change of lifestyle i made...i made the choice to eat heathly and exercise...which i continue to do ...to this day...i see a lot of people using the word "diet" on here..."dietz" failed all of us...thats y we r here...i see a lot of people asking "what they should eat"...i won't give u a list of foods...i will suggest u eat healthy though...and i strongly suggest u get use to an exercise routine...that u can stick with for a lifetime...i would personally stop reffering to this surgery as a diet...and reffer to it as a lifetime tool to aid u with the lifestyle changes...u...urself...personally have to make and stick with...again thatz my advice...now lap on...:-)

for awhile...i started to hate my band...after all i went thru...i honestly was considering having it removed...it wasnt the bandz fault...i was looking to place blame...the only one to blame is myself for not seeking help b4 i under went weight loss surgery to resolve my issues and for letting myself get so out of control...now that i'm starting to heal and live life by choices...consequences and well-thought out decisions...not to mention loving and caring about myself...i am grateful to have had this surgery....without it and all these feelings coming to a boil...whos knows where i would be....
