So I've yo-yo dieted for the past 10 years since I was 16. The most I ever lost was like 25 lbs. Then I gained that back.

I had my lap-band surgery in Feb of 2008. I was getting married 3 months later and wanted a jump start on weight loss. I still wish I had done it earlier. While not even close to my goal weight, I'm feeling happier and more confident. I'm having some trouble staying on program/target right now. Anyone have any suggestions??!?

    How is your restriction? Do you get hungry in between the 3-4 hours? Are you still hungry after eating a cup of food? If answers are yes I'd consider getting a fill first.

    My next suggestion would be to read up on the program -- read through the forum and blogs here a little There are a lot of great suggestions on eating, exercise, motivation and support. The program might have changed somewhat.

    Finally, its great you are "coming back" to bandland! Give yourself credit for making that decision and, as we know, the biggest tool in the shed is there already --- the band itself.

    Take care and good luck.........
