Hello! I was banded on January 3, 2011 and I can't be happier. I have my good days and bad days. When I really want to be honest with myself, I really haven't done enough. That's usually the case. For example, I had surgery to remove two lumps from my right arm so I haven't exercised in two weeks. When I exercise I see the most results. When I don't the scale won't move 1 inch, lol. Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself until I sat down and really thought about it. I haven't even done the housework. But tomorrow I can begin. I think the most important thing is keeping active or busy as some people like to say. People aren't happy unless you're up and about anyway. I say stay prayerful, optimistic and assertive. If you don't, yes, you are going to have bad and gloomy days. Remember, it's just a tool to help us stay on ourselves, because yes, most of us love to eat. I am one of them. But I realize when you eat because you love it, instead of eating to live better, that becomes a problem. I hope this helps.
