    Its been sometime since I've been on LBT... I missed ya'll. You all helped me get through the challenging parts of this journey(Although, there has not been that many). I have had several stuck episodes, I had to learn how to eat again. I'm rarely ever hungry, more thirsty than anything. food is no longer my bestfriend. so far I only have 3.5 cc in my band. Since the very beginning of this weightloss journey I have loss 57 pounds. I can't explain in words how wonderful I feel (before/current pictures coming soon). I still have NO clothes, I think my body is shrinking more than my actual weight is coming off, I started in a size 26, now I'm in a 20, but I still wear my 22's with a belt because I can't afford clothes right now, I do shop at the second hand stores every now and then.

    I basically dropped in to say that I'm still EXCITED the same way I was excitied before (I'm not getting paid to say this, I'm a normal person with a normal background). No, this has NOT been easy. I miss food (not saying that I can't eat, but I miss certain foods) I use to ABSOLUTELY LOVE BROCCILI, I would eat it almost every day.I broke down and cried after I got stuck eating it. After I got stuck I thought maybe I didnt chew enough so I tried again, SAME THING. I also miss bread and Pasta, I tried pasta, it went down, but digesting it was CRAZY.

    I'm far from a success story, but I know this was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love my new life!!

    Welcome to the family new bandsters :lol::rolleyes::D

    I'm far from a success story, but I know the scale can be your bestfriend and your worse enemy, and that's based off my failed diet attempts in the past. I only weigh myself at doctors appts. I see post on the forum about others not losing weight, my dr recommended that I not own one because of the pressure. Our happiness should not lie on the numbers but on how well we feel. Just a friendly message to my fellow bandsters. It will be okay, take one day at a time. Occupy your time by doing other things. Its not a race ;) Love you guys!! Have a great weekend

    I have only been banded for 4 weeks, but a 1/2 to a cup of food is fulfilling (TO ME) especially if you eat 6 small meals a day and drink plenty of Water.. I havent had any fills yet (first one is this Thursday). but when I started eating again I wanted to prepare myself for my band meal sizes. I have been eating 1/2 to a cup of food every meal and I'm satisfied.

    I FEEL wonderful!! my band is not even working yet and I feel like a different person. Its a amazing. When you have the mindset of change, there is no going back. I decided to change for my family and I'm SO glad I did.

    I havent weighed myself lately but my clothes are falling off. I started in a size 26 and now I'm wearing bagggggy 22s. I HAVE NO CLOTHES ;) All of my bras stopped working too(lifting lol), and my shoes are even to big.I'm soo thankful. :P:lol::D
