I got my new fill on Tuesday I am at 5 1/2 cc I have lost 4 pounds need to loose 16 more I do feel the restriction now. It will be tough have had a lot of sweets given to me for I am a schoolbus driver I have given most of it away thinking oh just maybe 1 truffle every other day might be alright but I have not done it yet ha support for the up coming days would be great Thanks

Get rid of the sweets! I put them in the breakroom and let the vultures devour them. By the time I return, they're gone!

Agree! I also got gifts of candy/chocolate from some co-workers before we went out on holiday break. I left it all in my office...and if the maintenance staff eats it all, that's fine with me. I was tempted to bring it home, but I knew that would be a mistake. If it's not in the house, there's no temptation.

Yep, not even one. I find that one leads to two and then three etc.

Thanks everyone you are so right

Best wishes! Hoping that you are "green" now! Karen..aka.kll724

since being banded i got through the july 4th,halloween,thanksgiving and had no trouble. but for the life of me and i am not a sweet eater i can't stop eating chocolate. i love truffles and i think i bought them for my grown daughter's stocking but i ate them all. so tonight i took every piece of candy in the house to my husband and asked him to put them away until christmas eve so i could put them in stockings. my dinner was healthy and no snacking after dinner. i know i can do this. i know how to do this.
