How long did you spend in BANDSTER HE**. I would like to at least progress to purgatory. I have been in HE** since April 2012. The willpower is fading FAST. . . this feels so much like another "DIET" without restriction or being in the green zone . . . . UGH

4 months in hell and 1.5 months in Casper Wyo(Purgatory). How many fills for you? And, what are you eating? Have you spent some time with your dietician?

I was only in it for about 4 months and from what I've read from others, I was one of the rare lucky ones. I've read of people in bandster hell 6-9 months.

Hang in there, it will get easier.

My lap band surgeon will ONLY fill every six (yes 6) weeks; I have gone to his office regularly since being banded and meet with my nutritionist every other visit; I am logging daily food intake on My Fitness Pal and I did join AnyTime Fitness . . . but I would like for the band to do its part ---> SOON

I got my first fill at 2 months. That offered me enough restriction to make it through 2 more months before the next fill. I was fortunate... I never really had bandster hell unless I all of a sudden I needed a fill and had to wait for an appointment.

I believe however that because I followed the portion sizes and counted calories my body got used to that amount of food and my body was satisfied even when i felt I needed restriction.

Like Floridays I never felt like I was in bandster hell. I focued on my portion sizes, eating protien first, bit sizes, chewing and not eating too fast. And I was fortunate to see a steady weight loss through the whole time. I guess I was lucky.

because i dont have any fills yet, i am def using my (mind want power) in eating only my allotted amounts and trying to stay focused on the big picture. i sometimes wish i had a fill but i see that as an insurance policy on my side...best of luck
