I had a scare of a band malfunction two months ago, I was not loosing weight and eating a lot (more than 1/2 of a cup is a lot for me), after I was checked with a fluoroscopy, doctor gave me a fill and I've been loosing, I even went on vacation and I still manage to loose. I was getting stuck a lot but I saw the video 8 rules for the lap band and. I learn how to eat then someone else suggested an application to control how fast you eat and I been using it. I love my band and I love this forums even if I don't post as often as before.

I am so happy !

Congratulations -- so happy for you. The green zone is where it's at, for sure. Here's to health!

Congrats. You're in the "happy zone"!

Thanks so much! Very enlightening

True Results actually provides us with a book written by Mr. O'Brien, the gentleman in the videos. It's title is The Lap-Band Solution A Partnership for Weight Loss. He covers a lot of the principle information there. If you have access to the book, the rules are in chapter 11 pg 219-233.

Good for you! It took a whopping 18 months to get to the green zone. I was beginning to think it would never happen but it has and I'm very grateful! I can't worry about the poor people starving anymore lol . If I can't eat anymore I stop no matter how much is left on my plate. Yes, I grew up in an era where my parents told me it was a sin to waste food. Well I'm listening to myself now and not my parents who are long gone but it still sticks in my head how they used to lecture me. Lol!
