Hey there Band World - it has been so long since I posted on here. Things are going great - I finally lost all the weight I had gained during the un-fill for the gallbladder surgery. Took FOREVER, but I am back to my lowest weight. To tell you the truth - I am pretty darn happy! I still want to lose about 20lbs more - which is not nearly what the Dr.s would like me to lose - but I want to be in the 100s and that will get me there with enough room to spare for ups and downs. I still love my band - it doesn't work like everyone elses - I can't eat foods for breakfast ever - only liquids - for lunch sometimes real food - sometime liquids and supper is a free for all - I can eat anything in any amount. But you know what - it helps me keep from eating horrible all the time like I used to. But I can really still eat anything I want. Hope all is going well and I will post more updates soon!

	Wow someone I can relate too. I thought I was crazy. I have a really hard time eating breakfast and most of the time lunch but generally I feel no restrictions at dinner. I thought I was crazy or something. I am still disapointed in my band cause I am not losing anything :( I really thought that I would have better luck with this but at least I know someone elses band is "weird" like mine.

I am also hoping to get to the 100's. I dont expect to ever be considered "skinny"...besided my husband would probable be unhappy if i lost to much weight.
Are you working out? what is your calorie intake?
im asking cuz i have been feeling hungrier in the last 10 days... and i know i am eating way to much..specially in the latr afternoon. I have my 1st fill coming up this week i hope it will help.Weight is coming off very slowly.
Good luck

Oh my! You guys are scaring me. I think I'm probably older than the rest of you. The pics I'm looking at are pretty young woman. I've been fighting being over 100 lbs over goal for over 30 yrs. I feel like this is my last ditch effort to be able to see all of my grandkids grow up. So, I'm finally taking the plunge. Due to insurance my surgery isn't til April 2010! But, I'm worried now. What if it doesn't work for me? Keep your chin up girls. Hopefully the weight will start dropping off and you can give me some good news! Good luck to all of you. Be happy.

thanks for sharing your struggles and success. I'm newly banded and happy to find people who are willing to talk and share.

	Micky - I am not worried - I am happy where I am - each journey is different - and I am happy with mine. If you are concerned - you had better do more research for yourself.
