Hang in there, it wasn't until I had 10.5 cc in my band that I actually had restriction. And since then, the smallest adjustments (0.1cc) make a huge difference. Good luck!

I agree with involving him as much as possible in the whole process.I find that my hubby is way more "protective" of me, he's never really shown insecurities, but I stroke his ego, too, by doing little things like pretend I'm a little jealous when I'm not at all (lol is this bad?). Best of luck to you!

I waited 1 week...

I agree with the previous replies, you just have to reassure him of your love and commitment. My husband has always been attentive towards me in the past, and I notice that now he's just a little more "protective" of me, like he won't let go of my hand for even a split second lol. I think it's got a lot to do with confidence and self-esteem (hubby is very confident and I find that extremely attractive), and just remember, talk things out with him, this may sound cliche but communication is key. Good luck

hi guys, it's been forever since I've been on LBT, I'm so close to goal, I can smell it Hope all you guys are doing great! :thumbup:

I went from a size 22 to a size 6 Ive officially lost 116 lbs and counting!!!! Loooove my band

I've lost a 2 month old horse and a chihuahua woohooo 0/

My kids are still young (5 and 7)and growing, I've maintained their diet the same. But my husband has been eating way more, he eats all my leftovers... thank God he doesn't have a weight problem :tongue2:

A before picture at 270lbs and a "during" at 175lbs... love my band :w00t:

I used to think the same way when I used to read these posts, but now I can say the same, I used to be a 22 and now I'm a 12 and I'm still losing!!! You'll find that once you get past bandster hell (don't let it discourage you), you'll see the scale moving and you'll see that being smaller will be a totally realistic goal. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you love your band as much as I love mine :bored:

I went on vacation to Florida last month and found that, not only was my band extra tight, but I never got hungry.I thought it may have been because we were doing all the parks, and between all the walking and the heat, my band responded that way. Well now it seems Mass is actually starting to warm up, and I've been having the same problems (not hungry at all)... last summer I hadn't reached my sweet spot yet, so I didn't have a problem then. I wonder if my body will adjust to it being warm, or if I'll have to go for an unfill :thumbdown: Any thoughts?

I find that certain things like not getting enough sleep or not getting in enough fluids make my band tighter...

That's wonderful, congratulations!!! I'm 11 lbs away from that mark, and I can't wait :thumbup:

At first I used to PB often, as I've gotten to know my band and its limits, I can't even remember the last time I PB'd :thumbup:

I don't really calculate how long it takes me to eat, and I just eat when I'm hungry, which is usually 3 times a day, sometimes 2, sometimes 4... I just listen to my body now, when before I'd eat all day.
