Hello!! I hope your well! I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that I got banded on 06/04/09. I have admired your drive and willpower since before I was banded. I knew that I was determined to be successful but your story has confirmed in me that I know I can do it!!! So far everything has been great, I have followed instructions to a tee! I too have to be low carb. My Doc started me on solids this week, so far so good. However, I am aware that I have no restriction and I do feel hunger pains. But my drive is so strong I refuse to deviate! I control my portions, eat 3 meals and 2 snack (healthy) per day and have been walking and started back on my bike this week, riding about 3-4 miles per night! I've lost 15 lbs since pre-op but haven't seen the scale move but 2-3 lbs since. I am confident that the weight will start dropping!! Sorry if I've rambled.....I'm just so darn STOKED!!!! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!!!! ~Tracy
