Hello there!! It's been a while since I've been on the boards. I was banded over 3 years ago and lost over 70 lbs. After my divorce I decided what the heck......lets take 1 cc out and eat!! Well, helllooo, I ate and gained 50 lbs back in 10 months. I'm proud to say that I have lost that since last November. So I'm on the big push now to lose about 40-45 more lbs for the final push. Life is good and I am super happy. I LOVE MY BAND! IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR ME THROUGH THICK AND THIN...NO PUN INTENDED! I've learned how to eat small meals throughout the day to stay full and not hungry. Yes, I still know how to eat around the poor thing...but I am all the wiser having done the silly things like eat ice cream and all those yummy soft foods we love to eat to see...well if...we can do it! And yes, we do gain weight! Don't you just hate when you gain weight drinking....well.......blended coffees...helllo!! Nice to meet all of you.....Glad to be back!!:smile2:
