I never have blogged before. This site is great. I have been going to threads,I am still learning the difference, and alot of good threads are not active anymore.

I have had the band for two years. I lost 15lbs right away but then stopped losing weight.I really thought the band was going to be a magic switch that was going to just take away my desire to binge or eat foods that put the pounds on.Anyway I never committed to the band and the rules for making it work.I just thought having it was enough.Also and this is a big also My life got really stressful after I got the band my husband got really really ill and I was mother father and evrything else. No time for me. So now things are much calmer my kids are more independant and I have time for me. I saw my doctor today for the first time in over a year. And I am going to see the nutitionist next week for a whole new beginning. I know I can do this if I work it the way it is suppose to be worked. I love reading your blogs and wish me luck Mary

    Thanks for sharing, I also hear you are ready to take control. That is a GOOD thing. We are all hear to support you. The first steps come from you. You want this and a slow start is better than No start. Take charge and get a fill or whatever you need to get back on the losing track. This band is a tool that can change your life is used well. Remember to eat REAL foods. Not too much, mostly plants with Proteins first. No liquids with meals and get sugar out of your life. You can do this. Best wishes imaluckydog
