Oh no not cool lol I used to drink a lot when I would eat but once I got my band tight enough if I did that id get REALLY stuck. I also exercised A LOT somedays twice a day for 2 plus hours 6 days a week. Do you exercise?

Well right now I really don't exercise much I had a baby 8 months ago and haven't got back into but I still lose and so that's good. I guess I just watch what I eat and how much. But when I started I was really strict with myself. I don't drink soda or eat fast food that's what got me here lol. Do you do the cooking? Also another thing I don't eat processed food everything I make is fresh.

I need help! Banded 11/28/12 down 25 pounds1st month but nothing for 2 weeks! Not exercising enough I know. Today and yesterday I have ate everything wrong, everything ! Piazza hot fudge cake. Prior to this I was going by the book. I am at 5cc but don't go back to dr until 2-18. At first I had to tell myself when to eat. Now I want to eat just like before the band. Any advice will be good. Could I get a fill sooner? Thanks

Having the lapband is just a tool to help you not be hungry. Your the one that chooses what goes in your mouth. How many fills do you have? I'm surprised you are already at a 5cc. My doctor took it very slow with me 1cc every two weeks and it took me a good 6 months until I was where I needed to be. I'm guessing you can get a fill sooner. Give them a call and see what they say. And you said I want to eat just like before the band. Well I'm sure before the band you ate just because you wanted to eat. The band won't help you not pick up food. A lot of times that's what I had problems with was I was board nothing good on tv so I ate. Just remember your bad food choices aren't going to get you to where you want to be. And also exercise will help you lose a lot faster I hate exercise but try finding something you really enjoy. I found that I really liked the class zumba it was a lot of fun. I hope none of this sounds rude. Keep up the hard work your still in the beginning stages and it takes time to figure out the band. If I can do it so can you.

Jor-el I cheat too!! I'm trying to break that cycle too. Not sure how that will work out but gonna give it one heck it's try. Let me know if you have any good tips, cuz I'm scared to death I will fail again

[Jor-el 11]

Well joe I'm on day 4 without cheating and only tip I have so far is chew up your food really well because 6 bites you will be full but to me it's not a full feeling its a I can't eat anymore because if I do I will throw up feeling lol the only thing I'm thinking of is my weight yea it's great to get healthy but truth is if I could be healthy and this size now I'd be happy but I want to be able to buy cloths anywhere and ride fun rides with my kids so if you want help I'm here for you

[Joeboo 8]

I've been cheating with the Water for so long it's gonna be hard. The good thing is I'm trying. The only part that freaks me out is that at one point I feel that the food gets caught in my throat so I revert back to the old ways. So I will chew until I can't chew no more. Lol. Just gotta keep my goal in mind.

[Hynita 113]

I drink Water when I drink not A LOT but I still drink and still lose.

Ooops I mean when I eat
