142 pd loss for a bandster

[I'llsucceed 1]

Thanks for the post. I agree with Cndy, Now that I have lost about 43lbs it is easier for me to exercise. I will say this I am at 2.8cc's in my 4cc band and I am at my sweet spot! I feel the same restriction I felt when first banded. Restriction is also helpful in losing I didn't see where she told you that. It is VERY important.

Great 43 pound loss!! Whoohooo! What the lady did say is that she had a great fill at just under 2 cc for her. She says she never gets hungry & eats only a 1/2 cup of solids at a time. So I believe that would be because of here restricition. Not willpower. I still don't quit have my sweet spot but I think I may be there now if I could just get a hold of this head hunry I still have. Sometimes I still pb & than sometimes I eat like crazy & others I think I am at a perfect fill. I think I need my head to get more into the game & stay at the fill I am at.

Ya gotta admit she's the poster child for the band... almost exactly 2 pounds a week. I wish everyone's trip could be that smooth!

But it does give me hope that we CAN do it!

And the best thing: When I hear all of you saying that you have control over when you stop, that you can stop before the food is gone (including every edible scrap in the fridge), I get a lot of hope.

I would love to lose 2 pounds a week until I'm at goal, but to be honest, I'd be happy just not gaining anymore!

I did like her tips & am trying to add some of them into my lifestyle now. Hopefully they'll help my banding be a success too!
