Love your blog!!! Newly banded Sept 14th...first fill the 21st of this month. Have lost around 24 lbs from all the presurg diets and all. Was keeping a log of eating and keeping track of calories not doing that gonna start doing it again today keeping between 1200 and 1500 cal gives me a good even wt loss. What I want to say is I'm totally with you on losing the weight slow and forming new habits and keeping it OFF! Im trying to form new habits and am looking forward to my first fill, but I am definitely with you I am not gonna let my self get filled so much that I will not be able to eat anything with in reason!! Your awesome!! Love your blogs!! Congrats on all your success so far!!
