hi,

Its been a few weeks since ive been on the site, i guess after 3 mths im becoming adjusted and don't make being here a priority like i should. Also life of course has been pretty busy. I have 3.5 cc in my 14 cc band im looking forward to more because i have no restriction but will have to wait till dec. 1 Im basically using will power, and of course the fear of doing somethign to my band LOL. My experience so far honestly is pretty darn good, surgery went fine, healing went fine, can eat fine. Just a lil to much in my opinion. I need to re focus on the bandster rules and remember that this forum here is to support me and keep me on track. Since ive joined this forum i have never been dissapointed. Meeting all of you great people here and the support you give truly has been a blessing. hope all is well in your bandland. take care:thumbup:

Just wanted to congratulate you on your tremendous weight loss so far especially as you haven't yet met your sweet spot!! It is a fabulous journey you are on and it will have it's ups and downs but the ups far out weigh the downs just as long as you remember that the band is there to help you do the hard work....like digging the garden - you try doing it without a spade...the band is your spade!!! Well done and keep us updated with your progress!!

armywife....I have been banded for 2 years and I can't stress how important this site can be for support. I unfortunately didn't use the support, and it made for a very lonely journey for me. I was to intimidated by the people that were having such good success that I felt like a failure. So unfortunately I stopped checking into the site. I should have asked for advise and support instead. It's a lifetime journey and there are alot of ups and downs, its nice to have a place were people know what your going through and you can be completely honest without being judged. So I am done with my sermon (ha ha). Congratulations on your weight loss and congratulations on realizing how important this site can be. I hope to keep hearing about your progress and if you have any questions or just need to vent feel free. Good Luck!
