  1. Lightbulb!

    I am finally learning how to work this band properly! I have been banded for 10 weeks now and up to this point have been letting the little guy try and do all the work with no results other than the scale going up by 4lbs. I have read on here that the band is a tool that you have to work with; but I guess I never really got it and was hoping that I could still eat whatever I wanted, just less of it, and still lose weight. After the past few weeks of being frustrated and still hungry, etc, I called the nutritionist on my support line. We went through my food journal and she gave me a few great tips. She asked me to really follow the diet guidelines for one week before deciding to go for the second fill as she didn't want the band to be too tight. (I currently have 8cc's)
     
    Well, I commited to that and am happy to say that after only 2 days, I have already dropped 3 lb and have no crazy hunger/cravings either. Hmmm, maybe these people really DO know what they are talking about. Whatever it is, as long as the scale keeps going down, I am one happy bandster!
