Love???? my band!

Thought it would be lovely to see a positive , happy post about how good bands CAN work. I am happy and healthy and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Hope other banders will chime in on a great tool.

Just for this forum, could we request no horror stories or revisions? I would so appreciate that... Hoping others will also. Thank you in advance ????

You got it!

Tonight I went out for Greek food. Saganaki (no bread or dipping oil), a feta cheese Greek salad, a tablespoon of eggplant spread, and One. Bite. Of. Baklava.

One bite!

And it was enough! No deprivation, no wanting to keep going.

It feels SO GOOD to leave a restaurant where I've just eaten some of my favorite food and not feel even remotely stuffed at all!

I love my band!!

I love my band too. I still have a long way to go and sometimes the progress is slow, but I know it's the singly biggest factor that will get me to where I need to be - and really, who cares how long???

I heart my band too xxxx

Nine years post-op. At or even below goal (briefly) for over 7 1/2 years. Only problem a leak repair at 4 years out.

Eat normally. Eat all foods. Almost never have any issue, maybe once every few months I bring back a mouthful and it is ALWAYS through eating too fast. Never had a painful or long lasting episode.

Three episodes of regain but each time I used my band to lose it again.

Maintaining for me is not all that easy but it was the thing which was totally impossible for me on all pre-band diets.

One word comes to mind: Sundress. Oh my god, so happy I can have fun clothes again and feel good wearing them. Sleeveless, eeek -- never thought it would be possible again but here I am.

Love having the appetite monster off of my back. Those urgent desperate associations with food are gone. Am I perfect? No way, but I don't have to be. I have never felt this relaxed about food.

Thanks for a great thread, Julie. Love, love, love my band.......

No complaints here. I love my band as well

I can definitely say the band is the best thing since sliced bread. I believe the majority of the people that do have problems with it is due to them not been educated about the band and how to work with it.
