Thanks you crystal rainbow. I have a questions for you? How have you managed to not have a fill with your band? You are doing ao well and I would love to know how you have done it?
 
I followed the rules.... I was so scared to hurt my band to start, it just continued.....every month for the first 6 months I would go to the hospital and the nurse would say 'no fill' I have to say I had mine fitted on the NHS there agenda is not to fill regardless..... if I was loosing they were happy and its just been that way..... at 16 months out I have hit a stall, but hospital say now 'were not tinkering' lol I have done over and above what was expected of me (-50% of excess weight) so they are more than happy .... recently I have allowed myself to become complacent and I have had no loss in months ....gains yes, but am back on track now (I hope) joined slimming world last week and -5 1/2 tonight so target here I come :)

Thanks girls.....

Morning beautiful banders old and new :)

A bad choice does not mean you failed....
A bad day does not mean you failed......
You never run out of chances to start again......

GOOD MORNING!!! Today is a new day !!!!

words from my SW newsletter, thought it very appropriate x x x x
 
I was lying in bed yesterday morning thinking it will be so good not to have to diet any more, but realised this morning that I'm still going to needing follow a diet of some sort and to use the band to help me with that. I don't particularly want to spend a fortune on the band and then a fortune on diets..... However I don't want to be overweight anymore. It's good to know what to expect rather than be disappointed after the op.

That's thanks to you guys. I'm so glad I found this site :)
