I have the realize band too. My dr said it takes a little longer to reach the green zone but it is a more flexible band and the port is flatter. I didn't want a cone striking out of my tight abs

Nice msbritt! How are you feeling?

A lot less Protein too!

Thank you! Ugh! I was hoping someone would say that!

Congratulations on taking this step now. We are all here to support you on your journey. I thought some of the same things! What if it doesn't work, what if I fail to lose. Then I just thought to myself, how can I fail? Only if I don't follow the rules will I fail. I watched a lot of ghrelinBGone and BandedWendy videos on YouTube. GhrelinBGone said " I didn't want any part of my postop to resemble my preop" it made so much sense to me. Take care of yourself, follow your teams orders to the t, relax and enjoy the ride!

Jealously rears its ugly head in rare forms! Don't stress it. Deep down she knows what she could do when she's ready to change! Your example really is helping her. If not today, then tomorrow. Love you!

Life will not change as much as how you interact with food will. Then you will be so happy because of all the awesome things you accomplish. You will believe in yourself again, you will have a special new pep in your step! You will look back and say, " what was I so worried about"? Relax, enjoy the ride!

Girl! You look so good! Can you believe how good you look already? Way to go!

Hello Chad! I went in for my second fill today. I've lost 31 lbs in two months. I have a BMI of 37.1 now (woohoo) I was told that I am way ahead of the curve because it is usually around 5lbs a month. I attribute my success to low fat, high quality foods. Yogurt or egg for bfast. Grilled lean meat/fish and veggie for lunch and dinner. I add whole wheat cous cous or Beans for carbs but at a very low quantity. Snacks are ff cheese or 1/2 fruit. And I exercise as much as I can.

Can you imagine what it would feel like without being numbed? Ouch! I got my second fill today with numbing, thank you very much!

Two months!

I've never heard of such a thing. If you have an unfill you no longer have a tool.

That's awesome!

I eat the same as before. For me I was fuller longer though. I go tomorrow for my second fill.

Three children, husband, and bf know. Best decision I ever made to not tell anyone. I'm just learning and I dont want to explain things while I'm just learning myself.

That is what I was thinking! There is no "bigger issue" if your family can't give you an hour! I work full time, school full time, three kids, hubby, and father in law just moved in. I understand completely! Do what you can, even if its hardly anything!
