  1. Thanks for the encouraging words. I often start my day with intentions of turning it all around and sometimes before I realize it, I have eaten something I shouldn't have and feel that I have blown it and will start over again tomorrow. I feel like the band is still effective but I drink so that i can feel satisfied with what I have eaten. Seems like every other thought that runs through my mind is about what I am going to eat next. I'm planning on having a good day so you guys pull for me and i'll update you later.
  2. I have the biggest size band. I have had four fills. I have an emotional connection with being satisfied with food. I drink as I eat. I guess it is not the band's fault i'm gaining. It is a tool that i don't use. Sometimes i get restricted while eating so I am confident that the band is still working. I need help with getting with it.:cry
  3. Hi. I'm new. I have had my band for almost a year now. I lost 65 pounds counting the pre surgery liquid diet. I didn't eat a bite for about forty-five days and as soon as i could eat after the surgery I started eating and haven't slowed down since. As of now I have gained almost all of it back. Has anyone else had any problems with wanting to eat although they don't need to. Any advice would be appreciated.:help:
  4. I have drank fifteen beers and had no problem. Except the weight problem i have always had.
