  10. Congrats I'm glad everything went well and you are recovering well Good Luck and I can't wait to be in your shoes(smile)
  11. I reduced my carbs I seem to lose better that way for my me I haven't sworn off carbs and I am no where close the the small amount that is suggested with Aktins I try to focus on healthier carbs(not processed carbs). I am not banded yet and I know the band will HELP me with this but what is a good plan for me might not be for you some people just focus on smaller portions but are unlimited as far as types of foods. don't be discouraged you have to find what suites you and if you could do it completely on your own what would be the purpose of the lapband just keep trying and learn what is LIVEABLE but helps your reach your goal. Good Luck
