My problem with the Lap-Band

Is that I keep having to microwave my food because it's getting cold!!! I eat so slowly and the food just doesn't stay warm! Ok, it's not really a problem, but it's the only problem I am having so far! And you know what's not a problem???? Seeing the numbers on the scale get smaller and smaller! I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!

how true!!

You are doing great! Have you had a fill yet?

my only problem is me having to constantly

buy new clothes...and now hubby does also and its awesome as he knows what size to buy.. :)

But don't forget, you are supposed to only eat for 20 mins. If it takes you longer, you should stop! :rolleyes:

Yes, clothing is an issue. Just bought a pair of 42 jeans at the end of September and already too big for me. At least I am only spending $20 at Walmart and not $50 or $60 through a Big&Tall or Catalog store. :)

I used to feel bad about throwing food away but it has become part of life. I try to cook only what I plan to eat but sometimes the band has other ideas.

Yeah, usually I can stay right around that 20 minute mark. I have a four year old and a two year old, so many times I have to be the hot dog cutter, more ketchup getter, or milk filler upper.....so sometimes i go a little over. I do the best I can! I think I would be eating cold food even if I didn't have the band :P

Congrats on your sweet spot. You may not need a fill looks like you've hit the spot already.
