  1. Hang in there...we CAN do it. I am feeling like a total failure at the moment..but telling myself I didn't go through all this to not have it work...and I know that the biggest part of this working is ME with the help of my band. I need the right positive mental attitude coz I really don't want to fail at weight loss...yet again. I have not seen the good weight loss some of you have at 3 weeks out like me..but I am trying to stay positive and let this be a life changing experience. Some days its easier than others. You can message me anytime...I think you are doing awesome.
  2. I was banded on April 21st. So glad to "meet" all of you fellow April bandsters. You all sound like you are doing great. I have a feeling I am going to be a slowwwww loser. Wow Ashers....great weight loss...just ...WOW..way to go!!
  3. I got my band on April 21st. Was in a lot of pain first week but seemed like day 7 when I had my staples out,was a turning point. I am however struggling with being hungry every 2-3 hours. Would love to keep in touch with fellow April bandsters . You all are losing weight and doing so well...and are an inspiration to me.
