What you say is so true! ((but i really wanted a miracle))..i guess i thought the lapband would give me a mini-stomach and i would feel pleasantly full after a few bites and walk away from the table satisfied..not having to alter my diet...just eat mega less of food...but that is so far from the truth. I have no self discipline and i was hoping this would be the tool for me.....but now i can eat cheetos and not oranges....pray for me that i can go back on the diet track again...after so many failures that led me to the band, i am not that hopeful...

Hello... the band isnt a miracle worker or a magic stick.Its a tool to help..you. But you have to make the efforts to help your self do it. If you dont work at it ...nothing will happen.
Believe me we all want to eat cheetoes & ice cream ....& loose weight but no..its not going to happen. Its a everyday ..thing. Stop eating junk & think x10 before eating bad stuff. We all feel disencourange at one point ..but take a look through the pictures of the people who are working hard & maybe send them a message. Stop feeling bad for your self & walk...at least 15 minutes in the morning & 15 in the evening... it will make a difference. But stop putting junk in your mouth if you want results. You trully need to think of why you even went through the trouble of getting the band. Stop & think of what motivated you to get it in the first place....then grab a bag of lettuce when your hungry! I do it. You will see the pounds come off ...
