I shout it from the rooftops and when people look at me and say I "cheated" I tell them "YUP! I cheated, I cheated death" they really can't make a comment back on that now can they??? LOL I too was fortunate as in not having to work hard at it but I did work for it nonetheless. I'm proud of who I am now and I may end up saving a life HOWEVER I do agree that it's a totally PERSONAL choice to tell or not. Good Luck with whatever descion you choose for YOU! Peace and Huggles Bonnie

Most people right after surgery have a difficult time getting it all in, your still healing do your best and don't stress add more as you can soon it will be second hand nature.

I lost maybe 20 pounds my first year! The second year was when it came off, ironically after I decided to ask for a small unfill .25. I felt I wasn't eating enough at that point. I'm at 5.25 in a 10. It is so varied for everyone and I do attribute some of mine to just plain luck that my band was placed PERFECTLY for me and my body. Take measurements too!! I went from a size 7 jean to a size 2 without losing an ounce. Sometimes it reflects in inches not pounds. Good luck PEACEANDHUGGLES

It been a long tme sinI was banded but if you are to solids its actually better to eat them you stay full longer and eat less calories in general. Our bodies need nutrition and good nutrition even more now than before. I know it sounds lecturey but its not meant to be.GO FIRST FILL!!!! WOOOT!!

You are still healing dont worry too much about it stress will keep the weight on. Its not always fast for everyone. It took me 3 years to lose 130 pounds, I will say I wasn't a strict dieter or exersizer either. My food chooices were sensible with occasional treats still are and my main exersize is walking. It does work! Just take a look at the before and after pix of people on here. Its a journey.
