Hi All,

I just got back from a week long business trip, and really struggled with my intake. Old Aunt Flow was in the mix making me fill "hungrier craving er " than I've been since this band.

A MIRACLE...I thought I was being "BAD" and after 1 day at home I'm down 4 Lbs after being up 2 Lbs from my trip.

What is dawning on me is that my BAD now is so very very GOOD compared to what my NORMAL was before my beloved band.

I know now that by the grace of my band I was able to stop eating most of the time within reasonable moderate parameters (new thing for me). I also know that had I given better effort with Water and excercise on my trip I could have lost more....but there's the learning that I'm having to do.

My gratitude to you dear friends for the support that we give and receive.

Loving my band

Amanda

the band really is great, isnt it??

with proper restriction, most "bad" days are better than a non banded normal day.

congrats on 24 pounds so far!

I'm having exactly the same experience! I was terrible yesterday but not as bad as I normally would have been pre-band. I also am having a mega visit by Aunt Flow for some reason. I'm not sure if it is that, or my changing eating patterns or a combination of both or what. All I know is that after two weeks of not budging I have suddenly dropped seven lbs in a week! Like you said, whatever it is, I'll take it!

Congratulations to you both. You have made me so grateful for Menopause:lol:

Keep up the good work!
