thanks for the support, I am trying to stay on track. Last nite was good, but like my husband was worried, he sat at the table by himself. I just was not ready to sit and watch him have that big steak!!LOL

Wow! 65 lbs that is great, dont short change yourself! It is work, hard work reprograming ourselves. I will mention that when I went to my psycologist evauation, she mentioned the need for a mild anti depressent, Wellbutrin, to help my with any depression and grazing, or slugness. It has helped me alot!, I started in Dec. and I feel so much more clear headed, so I have a good shot at suceeding and not delvoping any depression. Maybe this could help you took, stay clear headed and focused. I read your entry and you should be proud of yourself, very proud! I hope that I too can loose 65 lbs, that would be so good for my health. I would feel so much more confident.

Please keep up the good work, and dont be so hard on yourself, we tend to do that to ourselves.

Thanks for your good wishes, God bless us through this journey.....love, Patti with a smile for YOU

I think you have good advise for us, new banders. I hope you would help me if I have questions. I read one of your posts, great info.

good morning, I came across one of your posts on gas relief and thought I would try to maybe have yu give me some input on the procedure. I get banded on the 21st, Wed. I am excited, alittle nervous....my tummy is feeling better now! I think I have most of what I need at home to start the post-op. Can you help with what you did to get ready and tell me how you did the first few days. thanks so much, anything would be great! I just turned 48 yrs, that was another reason I would like to keep friends with you, we are close in age. Not sure what your other stats are, but you can read mine. again, thanks, hope we can be friends through this journey
