hi there, this being New Years Eve i want you to know that i was banded 1 year and 2 weeks ago (December 13th 2011 , weighing 220 lbs !), and by that New Years Eve i weighed in at 212 lbs !!! I thought , "it can only get better !" , and it did ! This New Years Eve i weigh 163 lbs !!!!! (Goal is 140 ) So hey, It DOES GET BETTER, SO FOLLOW YOUR DR.S RULES AND A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WONT RECONIZE YOURSELF !!!! ive gone from an unhappy, tired girl to lots of energy, happy with what i see and feel like, almost daily compliments, and today just bought cute Nike running clothes and cute sweaters in size 14, not size 18- 1x ! So, hang in there, take it a day at a time and you'll love it when your clothes start falling off !! Good luck !! BEST. DECISION. EVER .

Oh my gosh, me too! I get mad because I can't eat those foods I want to. And I'm so sick of Soup and soft foods. When I get frustrated, I start thinking "hey, I've been fast food free for over 3 weeks!" or "when is the last time I've seen the scale at 239?" I just keep thinking that I will never see those 17 pounds again. The band is this great tool that's going to help us succeed in ways I never could on my own. It's a daily mind struggle with me.

We can do this! We have to!

I too felt this way. I didnt know just how bad my food addiction was until I couldnt eat it. I was mad at the world because I couldnt eat. It will get better ! Keep your head up.
