Had my first fill beginning of sept. In desperate need of support and encouragement!!

Just remember why and who you wanted to do this for whether it was just yourself or a loved one you wanted to get healthy for. You have made a huge step towards greatness and the fact you are asking for help tells me you far better off than you feel you are. I hope you are feeling well and that you are able to reach your goals.

what are your experiencing? please provide a little more information about yourself and how we can help support you.

HI!

Are you feeling some restriction now?

Looking back, one thing I wish I had different is to eat as though I am dieting regardless of the band. I did very well for 5 months, but then discovered I could eat cookie dough (while making Christmas cookies) with no ill effect. It's best to just stay very focused and don't "try" too much off course.

I eat mostly organic and love green smoothies as a way to get lots of healthy green vegetables in. I found I could not eat salad or brocolli -- so blending up baby spinach and kale in a smoothie was perfect and easily digestible.

Just watch the amount of fruit you put in. Too much will undercut the health benefit.

I hope you are feeling good and have been able to increase your daily activity!

Best wishes!

Yes! I thought I was doing well with eating slowly and small bites...apparently not! I have had a few stuck and sliming episodes. Just trying to make my mental adjustments as well.
