Learning to use my band as the tool it is intended to be!

Okay, it is October 29th and I have been banded for almost 8 weeks now. I have lost a total of 8 lbs. (13 pre-surgery). I had restriction from the surgery for about 2 weeks then it faded or completely diminished overnight! :omg: Then, I started to eat like I did prior to surgery! I did get a fill on the 16th of Oct. of 1.6 which is good but not my sweet spot. I continued to push my band to the limits with overeating.

I have date!!

I have scheduled surgery for August 31st! :eek: I will be doing the sacred heart diet two weeks prior to surgery and then protein shakes one week prior to surgery. I need to get to 190 for surgery. Right now I am 201.   I have told my mom, Brittany and Becca about the surgery. They are all praying for me.   I will be walking on the treadmill everyday for 30 mins. and will try to chew my food to mush in order to get ready for my band life eating. I also will slowly wean myself off of D
