Best of Luck..... the one thing i learned in my journey is....we have to work with the band to lose weight. The band itself will not make us lose the weight. I had the same concerns before I was banded and decided to follow the people that went ahead of me that were working a healthy program.

On the other side there were some that did not lose weight and continually talked about dairy queen, margarita's, etc.

Of course i had ups and downs... but i keep getting up and brushing myself off and get back on track.

Some things that helped me...

1. journal what i was eating. too many times i was under estimating what i was putting in my mouth. also needed to make sure i was eating enough Protein. many great sites available. i used netdiary.com. but others are: fitday.com, (cant think of the other one i used)

2. stopped weighing myself daily as i would react poorly to whatever number came up. i weighed 1X a month and measured myself 1X a month.

3. exercised. weights and aerobics

4. used lapbandtalk.com for information. i didnt get into negative conversations as sometimes happens on this site. everyone has a right to their opinions. i can only share my experience and follow others that make sense to me.

5. did writings in a journals on feelngs, NSV's etc. best feeling was when i fit in an airline seat without an extra belt. or when i first saw collar bones.

6. drink lots of Water. at least 1 gallon a day.

someone once said....nothing tastes as good as thin feels....

anyway wishing you all the best.... and if any help needed...please dont hesitate to ask.

Officially banded except from the gax pain (that is bearable), I am enjoying my liquid meals (apple juice and black tea).

Water is the desert
