  8. It's okay. We all get off track at some point. The important thing is getting back on track right away. Be careful and good luck. Follow my Lap Band blog at www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com
  9. When ever I need a boost, I do low carb, like really low carb for a few weeks. I actually do the low carb thing all the time now. However, when I used to count calories, limiting my carbs always gave me the boost I needed. I talk about low carb eating on my lap band blog.

  12. Thank you to everyone for being so nice and supportive. Usually when someone doubts the band or has anything negative to say about it, people get really defensive and get a little nasty! But here everyone was encouraging! Follow my Lap Band blog at www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com

  15. How did it go? How are you feeling? Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com
  16. Don't give up. I hated my band at first. I thought "is this thing even working?". But now that I have really put my heart and soul in it and am following all the rules, (not saying you're not) and started running, I am starting to love my band. It keeps me from over eating. It keeps me from being hungry all the time. It doesn't keep me from eating junk and that was something I had to work on myself. Plus, you don't even have fluid in there yet so it is probably not doing much. When your doctor gets your fill right and you start getting the hang of what you can eat , then you too will love your band. Good Luck on your journey!

  17. Oh forgot to say. I think string cheese is a great snack.
  18. I think that if weighing everyday is discouraging you when you see your weight, then yes it is a bad idea. However, if you can look at that number and know that it is just a number then it is okay. I usually weigh everyday and if I am up a pound, I don't let it derail me. I just think "I know I am doing what I am supposed to do so the the weight has to come off". Good luck on you journey. Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com
