For those of you that have been banded for a while and have lost alot of weight how do people react to it?

I started off at 305 pounds and am now down to about 155 and people say things all the time like you are getting to thin, or you never eat, or are just not supportive. I am very proud of my acheivement but the negitive comments that I often get hurt?

How do you react? And does anyone else experience this?

Just say well I feel fantastic and love the way I look but thank you for your concern. As far as the food and eating is concerned it all depends on whos saying it to you. It may be someone that was use to seeing you eat all the time. Could be someone just not informed on the process, or they may want to change you back......as long as you know you are doing right don't worry about what they say. Just say I eat the proper foods at the proper times. I don't eat just to eat anymore and again thank you for your concern. You don't have anyone you have to answer to but yourself.

Sometimes it is not so easy though=)

Congrats on your weight loss!!
