Sounds like the band has a mind of its own.

Keep posting and venting!!

Me too! But then I think what could happen to me if I keep carrying around this weight.

Crosstrain exercise. Keep those muscles guessing.And always remember strength training. Love how those muscles burn fat while you sleep!

Slow and steady wins the race! I can understand your frustration. But I'd trade places with you any day!!

And how are you feeling? Your picture matches your positive attitude. As I wair for my surgery I live vicariously thru all your journeys.

WELCOME! You will love this site. It gives advise, humor, support, all the things you'll need between doctor visits. Good luck!

Woe, can't believe you are in computer mode already! I would say it was a huge success. Be a good patient, and enjoy your new life complication free!!!!

You go girl!

I don't know the calorie answer, but are you doing any exercise? Maybe changing it up. I have been told your body gets use to the same exercise. Even a few flights of stairs added can make a difference. Also lifting hand weights build muscle, more muscle, more calories burned

Great info tom. I am going to email for the egg timer distraction. It's good to hear from someone who has had the band for a longer time thanmost. Good health to you!

Ten minutes away! Relax and enjoy your new healthy life. And of course, best wishes, and loads of good luck.

You had the surgery to distract you frm the storm and the storm to distract you from the surgery! Good luck.17lbs!!!! Way to go.

Good luck on the first day of yout new life!

Thanks for all the food for thought.

I hope the girls get smaller as I do. Always been a pain in my back!

I bet you are right...the stereotypical little man syndrome.

Good friends are like stars, you don't have to see them to know they are there. Thanks to my shining stars.

Just added you as a friend. Would love to hear how you are doing after surgery.
