Past two months have been tough as hell. My whole household got the flu (worst cases I've ever seen!) relay style! And to top it all off two of my children are sicklers and the youngest had to be hospitalized. But all that is behnid me now and the many sleepless nights are over. I have to travel in the next two months and my new major goal is to sit in that planeseat without having to ask for an extra piece of seatbelt! In other words I need to lose at least 20 lbs for that to be possible. Plus it would also mean that I can shop in a smaller size. So that's definite motivation there! I have picked up a few lbs cause this morning I did weigh in at 304.5. But I will not change my ticker cause I know that after the two days of all clear liquids I plan to do this weekend, I will be back to under 300 by Monday. Here's to my shopping trip!

Hey, I'm just seeing this... I will be glad to link with you, but right now I'm dealing with my hospitalized 2 yr old so that's y I've been mia. So as soon as I'm able to I will contact you.

As long as you're feeling hungry in between meals and are able to eat like before you were banded... go right ahead and get one. However don't get filled so tightly that your not able to enjoy a small meal of solid foods. It's no fun getting stuck on a regualr basis no matter how much weight your losing! All the best.

B-52 I agree 100%. Anyone can go on a diet and lose a few pounds! Key with the band is as long as you have proper restriction and listen to it, it really takes away the dependency on willpower. The other day I went out to a buffet lunch and filled up my plate like everyone else. When I went back to sit with my friends the thought crossed my mind 'you're not gonna eat all that'. Anyways I proceeded to part take and socialize with my friends and at the end of the day, guess who had to ask for a doggy bag? All plates around me were cleaned over at least twice and I was stuffed with at least half of my plate left. No willpower was involved... I just couldn't eat anymore! I love, love, love this band!
