Brandy,

I am LMAO at your post. I have the card, but have never once CONSIDERED using it. I simply don't need favors from a restaurant or want to draw attention to myself and my eating habits. I read about the bandsters that weigh their food portions and imagine them breaking out the scale at the table in the restaurant. Talk about craving attention! I know a lot of banded folks request their discount discretely, but I always would feel like I was putting a restaurant between a rock and a hard spot. I usually order Soup, or a regular meal and take home my leftovers, or order something and share with my kids. The restaurants that I know won't care if I order a kids meal, I will occasionally, but PLEASE charge me for a regular drink and don't bring it to me in the plastic cup, lol!

Each person is different in their journey, and if they choose to use a card, so be it. But it certainly is not my cup of tea.

I, too, have a card and have never used it and don't plan to. As for buffets, I go to them with my husband and teenage sons. Believe me, the fact that I am barely eating averages out with the 5-6 plates of food that each of them chows down. That Chinese buffet is not making any profit on my family!

Who needs attention? I think your getting it here with the self rightous statement.

Hey! Who you calling fat? I'm not fat....I'm just "husky". At least that's what my mama tells me.

Plain how are you? Have you lost all that weight just in the time since you have been banded? I got banded on 2/23 and am only down about 10 pounds?
