You are doing great! I was following your blogs too and so happy to see you are doing well. Take care and keep posting.

Hi BG, You have been a great help for me in last few months , thank you so much.

Thanks BG.

I love to know what that means. How does that feel? I don't know if I am there or not? Please share with me. Thanks

Thanks imaluckydog. I am just worried with a 3rd fill I may start to throw up everytime I eat since I feel that way now if I eat more than 1 1/2 cup of anything. I guess I should go for a little more fill , they can always unfill.

I have been banded for 3 months. I have had 2 fills, with the 2nd fill I felt I still could eat small portion like I am supposed to but had a hard time with few foods. I can no longer eat any kind of bread which has always been my #1 problem so in that way the 2nd fill has been a great help to me but I can still eat a lot of food if I am not watching it very carefully. I have lost about 25 pounds so far. I am affraid if I get another fill I won't be able to eat anything but liquid and if I don't I am still not that restricted except for few kind of foods. Not sure what to do in my next appointment. Thanks in advance for any advise.

You will love your Band and your life will change for better! Best of luck to you. My Band is my little secret too, only my husband knows and it's working out great.

Thanks for sharing & being so positive, I have had few bad days lately and you reminded me it's all about the important things, my family and that nothing else matters. Take care

I know you don't want to hear this but you look sooooooooooo beautiful ! come on give yourself all the credit you deserve and definitely see a trainer or just buy these videos that show how to target & shape specific part of the body or perhaps consult now for a small lipo for the area that bothers you, that's what I am planning to do and it's more convenient these days since we can charge it and pay it monthly. You look so young and beautiful, I hope you see that too. All the best.katie

Good luck to you, you seem to be determined and ready to be a better & healthier you. The band will be great tool. Take care and keep us updated.

Hang in there, it will be all so much better in about a week. take care & remember it's all so worth it, you will love your band.

We are all in the same boat but this will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself especially if you are totally ready and committed to do this. I love love love my band and I know you will too! Good luck and all the best wishes

Hang in there, it will pass by so fast and then you will soon have your new best friend, your band. Good luck to you!

Good for you! I have seen your before/after pictures, you simply look amazing and deserve all the perks that you can effort. I am so inspired by you,thank you & all the best wishes.

Good luck to you tomorrow and stop by here in this site when ever you need support and cheering. We are all in the same boat and are able to truly help each other out. Take care

Thanks Adrie for your kind words & encouragement.

I have to say this is the first in my adult life . I had a very stressful week and unlike every other time that I managed it by stuffing my face with food, I had no appetite to eat and actually lost 4 pounds. Having this band on since five weeks ago has allowed me to learn to eat on time, enjoy every bite, and be in control. Of course there are times that my head orders me to eat more and more but I just stop because for the first time in a long time, I feel I am in control and I just love that feeling. Hope you are all feeling good today too.

Any recommendation please? I am eating the same foods everyday to avoid salt, fat, sugar, carbs...... . I am looking for recipes for banded diabetics, appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance. :wink:
