Chipmunk 10/15 270 lbs. 10/22 266.5

I am checking in at 268 this week. Thats is a 2 lb. lost. Everything counts. Need to make better choices and exercise more. Since I have went back to work, my time is limited. Will get it together!!!!!

I am recently banded and my full feeling is the same as it was before I was banded. The one thing I have noticed is I get full faster. It is really easy to over eat because you get full alot quicker. I have learned to eat small amounts and wait about 10 to 15 minutes before I try to eat again. Most times you never go back because you are full. Different things work for different people. You will probably experience many different feelings before you find what works for you. Mainly just make sure you listen to your body. Good luck on your journey

I am new to this site. I will have my surgery on 9-19-2011. I am nervous but so excited that it is finely here. I have been reading many stories and gained a lot of knowledge about the surgery. I feel so confident that we will all be successful in our journeys.
