Hello , I hope I can find some answers here since all the people are so kind and helpful. I had my surgery Oct 25, 2006 ,had lost about 22 pounds this week I had my first fill, well nothing I don't feel any different or any tightness I can eat a lot more food than I should, I called the nurse and she screamed at me that I should be on a liquid diet after the fill for 1 week, ok , if I had the will power to do this liquid why in the hell did I get the band in the first place? I know the band is not a miracle it's a tool to help us ,but I don't feel it at all, so what should I do ? Another thing I am using a MACROBIOTIC DIET ( no animal no dairy products no sugar ) so maybe it is slowing me down on weight loss . :help: :help: :help: Nellie

jack i love the way you write and respond to bandsters with your positive and encouraging spirt, its very contagious. Please never lose that flow in writing as they are many days when i suffer from flash eating but then i think about your posts and each one of them has a very clear cut on controling our mind, emotions, habits and it just keeps me away from resuming to my past life. Thank you for your well selected words I appreciate it alot and im sure everyone else does too :xena_banana:
