It's a lot of hard work to lose weight and then try and mantain it. When I get stuck in losing weight, I go back to my Protein shakes and light dinner salad for a few days. Fortunately, it helps get me back on track. A combination of some exercise and a change in eating habits work for me. I try and write everything that I eat, daily.

Best wishes

because what you overeat in (private) will show on the scale (or clothes being tighter). so if you overeat, its on you.

ps----if you fall off track, just keep going.

dont do any tricks.

just eat smart but think smarter.

I soooo needed this reminder to be mindful. Ate a few too many soy crisps yesterday, and realize I am better off to not have them around as I have difficulty not overindulging and slipping into bad habits. I think it is the crunch and saltiness that gets me hooked. Getting back on track today. Needed a kick in the butt, but happy to get your gentle reminder. That works too!

The scale reminded me yesterday! I've been eating like crap and its showing up. Have crept up 5# in two weeks! Ugh. My band is too loose because I had reflux. Going back in 2 weeks to have some added back, but until then--this girl is on the straight ad narrow!

Shrcumm, I couldn't have said it better! As someone who was banded in 2005 and has since been rebanded (1 week out), I can attest that the band is merely a tool. Hard work and good choices are a must to continue with successful weight control. It is so easy to trick your band and to eat past the band! If you fall off the wagon....dust yourself off and hop back on! Good luck and best wishes to all my newfound friends of the band!
