Don't get frustrated. I would reccomend that you find a good support group or a good " coach ". This approach will help you focus on the triggers, habits and reasons you might be slipping. remember the band is only one tool in your daily life that will assist you in reaching you goals if you have defined them. If I can help with any issues contact me. I'm 6-2 was banded 1/26/08 and weighted 304 today I'm at 203. i had my ups and downs but regained my focus and am very plesed with where I am today
