I finally got round to starting my own diary. Banded 15th Sept. 1st fill end of Oct - no difference 2nd fill It now seems to be having some effect. Up until now it has been extremely hard keeping my motivation when I have been soooo hungry. I have been determined not to dive into the bread bin on an evaning when my stomach was growling at me. Now I can have my breakfast at 7.00 lunch at 12.00 and tea at 5.00 and I'm full . It's the best feeling ever. I now think I can do this. It's going to work. I am now 13st yippee
