Any one else having a head time finding it? I used to drink a pack a week. They were a great hit of low carb one hundred calorie chocolate without the aftertaste that all the Adkins shakes seem to have.

I was banded 11/8/12. Weighed 230 pounds and wire size 20 jeans. (I'm vertically challenged)Yesterday I weighed 187 and wore a snug 14 all day!!! I feel soooo great! My knees don't hurt and clothes are fun again. It is taking more patience than I thought it would. Fills seem too far apart sometimes! I find I lose when I low carb and plateau when I don't. Better than gaining any day! The best advise I got about my band was "the band doesn't work when you are eating, it works two hours later" so true!
Still got my eye on those sassy size eight jeans I have hanging by my elliptical, but at least now it seems possible!

No I totally don't have restriction yet. I often doubt whether there is a band in there at all. My third fill is this week, my nutritionist says the third one is often the one that proves it. I hope so.
I think I need to come up with some sort of reward for myself at 189. Once I get there the lure of 175 will start pulling me in. I am not coming up with anything though.
I'm afraid I too was not prepared for the period between healed from surgery and proper restriction. I get frustrated that I spent so much money on this band have often feel like it was a waste. I am afraid this whole thing will end up with me waiting my life away; I had to wait to get the band, now I am waiting for restriction, what's next?
I need to just get on it and loose this stupid weight, but maybe I should have done that before throwing thousands of dollars at the problem.
Jeepers that turned into a negative vent. I will go dust myself off. Sorry.

Thanks guys! I always appreciate your input. I realize this evening that I may have been complaining too early as it was six o'clock today before I realized that I hadn't had my second meal for the day yet! Maybe this thing is doing something.
I am really hoping that eventually I have a difficult time eating bread though. I absolutely HATE puking or anything like t and I know that would keep me from even wanting
bread and such.

I am a high school English teacher. Yes, I cram Shakespeare and prepositions down the throats of grumpy teenagers all day, and I love it!
I have had what seems like a million jobs, I was in the Air Force for a few years, but I don't think I will ever have another. I found what I am good at and I'm sticking to it.

This girl!!!
I haven't walked on it for over a year cuz the info display wouldn't come on (like i couldn't walk without knowing how far I had gone... How stupid!) well I just spent the last hour tearing into it with a flashlight and a screwdriver and I fixed it!!!! A connection had popped loose.
Wait, Now I have to go walk on it....... ; )

Ok so it's not really like having a new smaller stomach above the band. You want food to pass through fairly quickly but with enough bulk to trigger that nerve to tell you that you are full, right? But not so much bulk that it can't go through after a minute or so of trying.......yeah?

Ok I think I understand better now. Thanks guys.

While I agree that the outward snippiness that you are referring to is uncalled for, I also don't come here for sugary niceties. I appreciate all of the super support, some of which comes in a slightly sour package. Just because it is not what I want to hear doesn't mean it's not what I NEED to hear. I think that is the appreciation that was lacking in that threads originator.
