I honestly surprise myself at the willpower I have but I think it's the appetite thing that the band has helped me with. Are you eating sliders? Watch your carbs and make sure you get your Protein. This site has helped me a lot. I've learned a lot on here. When you see your doctor always write down your questions before you go...it works! I'm a nurse and when I went to see my surgeon for the first time I had a list of 23 questions! Had I not wrote them down I would have forgotten then because I was nervous. He answered every one of them. I had to learn that this has to be done to get healthy and I will lose weight as well. I can be impatient and want it off now but I have to learn good things come to those who wait and also this...when you want to eat something that you know you shouldn't ' date=' say this to yourself---"nothing tastes as good as thin will feel!"[/quote']

What's sliders?

Sliders are foods that slide right through the band, runny stuff. These foods are dangerous because a person could graze all day long on these-ice cream, pudding all sweets too an not good for your diet.
