I'm beginning to see the light!

I went for a fill Tuesday, and boy! do I have restriction! I love it! If this isn't my sweet spot, I'm hoping it's pretty close! !

I have to eat even slower. I get full on even less and haven't been hungry between meals. I really feel like my band is working with me. I haven't had anything get stuck, or slimed or pb. If anyone had told me that I could get full on even less food, I would have said, not me! How often I've read about bandsters only eating burgers without the buns, or half of something. I think I'm joining those ranks.

And you know what else? It's motivated me, and I want to exercise, because I really understand on a much deeper level that it all works together. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. Has anything like this happened to anyone else?.

It's taken me 16 months, but the good thing about the band is that I can always keep trying. It's just waiting for me to take advantage of the help it has to offer.

I love my band!

Debbie

I'm really happy to see it feels like it's starting to click. :frown: I wish you the best on the remainder of your Lapband journey.

That's great! It makes me excited for when I find my sweet spot. Just today I told my mom that I feel full of hope and am so excited to have the band. Then it crossed my mind that if this doesn't help me as much as I tink it will, I will be devastated. I know we can't live out lives like that. We just have to have faith and roll with good times. You inspire me!

That's great news Debbie. Your positive attitude is another "sweet spot" and will help you much!

Thank you all.

Humming Bird, I'll try to remember what you said about my attitude being another sweet spot. I really like that, and I'm sure it will help me.

AshleyLin, you can do it! I've still got a long way to go, but I feel more than ever that I can too.

Debbie

You have such a positive attitude. I know i have a long ways to go as i was just banded June 1 but i cant wait till my sweet spot is found. I know this is a journey and there will be ups and downs but its so nice to read and see someone positive and successful. Best of luck to you
