This thread cannot be for real.

Out of control blood sugar Diabetes under control at this point.Not a weight issue

If you're for real you should just READ your posts. They SERIOUSLY do not make any sense, so if you're just goofing on everyone ha ha ha...now GO HOME and play with yourself.

They posts ARE kind of stream-of-conciousness, but the more of them you read, the more they start to make sense.

I was starting to think the same thing. A couple messages ago makes complete senses to me now. I think I know where to put the punctuation and I get it.

That almost scares me. The idea that I think like drstan is a little disconcerting.

I'm the opposite. I understood them at first but now I'm completely lost.

The band is more about portion control. It is not magic. You have to work with it.

For me, I find it is not the band itself that makes me not hungry.

I was taught to eat every 3-4 waking hours, whether I am hungry or not. I eat mostly Protein & never more than a cup of food at a time. I would never have imagined that eating like that regularly would turn into rarely being hungry or haivng cravings.

:wink_smile: FUNNY!!! I feel the same way. I now think drstan is for real.

Just really illiterate or maybe doesn't write english well?:teeth_smile:
