Sandy,

I know, doesn't it feel good to be in control and not turn to food! I have my stress now under control....also, with working out (walking, ellyptical, heavy yardwork) that really helps too!

Good milestone! Keep it up!

Thanks Sandradee for the encouragement! I have to say, what I love about the band is if you keep on course, the weight will not come back on like the yo-yo diet. It is so worth it!

Hi Goodgirl81,

I hear ya....I have been doing really good and then the last couple of weeks, I have only lost 3 lbs....and it is because I have been visiting my favorite Mexican restaurant and eating way too much. So, I need to only go there maybe once a month (after loosing 5 lbs or more!). It is just not worth it to get banded, go through all the things you do with the band and then not loose!!!

I have discovered a really great lunch - chicken teryaki bowl with extra vegees (no rice). It is so good....from a chinese fast food, but not a heavy sauce...very good....

Good luck! We will slip, but will not fall down!

NicVio,

Yeah never know, I could get another fill and not be able to eat steak. It is really heavy on the stomach. Hope you can eat pork or hamburger and get somewhat of a fix.

I only had .5 cc's taken out, so let's cross our fingers! Just remember, when you drink the water after the doc fills you, if it feels funny at all (like your throat is heavy etc). take some out! I would have been okay had I not eaten that dang pizza! It would not have been so bad. Worse case you go on liquids until you can see the doc. He happened to be away for a week, so I had a tough week!

Hi Thinatheart,

Thanks for your update. I did not see your update until now! Good luck to you!
