Gail,
I have had 3 fills. My doctor said he thought I was doing well and to come back in 8 weeks. I haven't really lost anything and actually went up a pound or two. I am carefully watching and am going back down. It is a struggle but I am learning to take cues from the band. It lets me know. The food seems to get hard to swallow. I need to eat slower. If I rest, the feeling goes away and I can continue to eat. I have to learn that I DON'T have to finish my plate. In fact, I can't finish it. I can't, I can't, I can't. It is hard to break bad habits but the band is letting me know who the boss is. Although I have learned all bad foods slide down quite nicely. AND that is not good!!!!
