    Mindful everything. ;-) You can do it!!!

    Sounds like you know what you want. Just use the band to help you get there. I visited my nutritionist regularly who works with the fill nurses. When I went in for a fill I also spoke with the people who know food. I have food addiction. Be honest with yourself and the LB people they are there to help you. Talk about what you are eating, do not be afraid the truth will get you to the results you want and wish for.

    It is not easy. I was banded June 29,2009 and I have been maintaining 110 pound loss. I can go up and down but when I remain MINDFUL and work with my band and (LB people) I am much more SUCCESSFUL.

    Best wishes being mindful. imaluckydog

    You can do it! Dont give up on yourself, the band or fills! Go in with a new attitude and let your winning attitude be your driving force! Good luck!

    You are now starting over again! Take this time to reflect and go in with a new attitude. Please remember it is a tool. Take time to focus on yourself. Every weekend, I go shopping for "my" foods. It really helped me be prepared for the week. I know I will have healthy choices to choose from when I am ready to eat. I also keep a journal and visit this site everyday. It is my support group and I need it to keep me accountable. Use the lapband as the tool it is meant to be!
