Just remember why and who you wanted to do this for whether it was just yourself or a loved one you wanted to get healthy for. You have made a huge step towards greatness and the fact you are asking for help tells me you far better off than you feel you are. I hope you are feeling well and that you are able to reach your goals.

HI!

Are you feeling some restriction now?

Looking back, one thing I wish I had different is to eat as though I am dieting regardless of the band. I did very well for 5 months, but then discovered I could eat cookie dough (while making Christmas cookies) with no ill effect. It's best to just stay very focused and don't "try" too much off course.

I eat mostly organic and love green smoothies as a way to get lots of healthy green vegetables in. I found I could not eat salad or brocolli -- so blending up baby spinach and kale in a smoothie was perfect and easily digestible.

Just watch the amount of fruit you put in. Too much will undercut the health benefit.

I hope you are feeling good and have been able to increase your daily activity!

Best wishes!

Yes! I thought I was doing well with eating slowly and small bites...apparently not! I have had a few stuck and sliming episodes. Just trying to make my mental adjustments as well.
