hubby update
for all those who ask, Mike saw Dr. Sonnanstine today...he has lost a total of 25 lbs since being banded two weeks ago today.. Mike is extremely compliant and very determined. He looks great ..he can't wait till his next visit.
I am curious and anxious to see how well he does before his first fill.!!!
Thanks everyone...I am very supportive of Mike and of course understanding. I keep watch over him and help educate-not POLICE the food he chooses..but showing him labels and discussing bad carbs vs good carbs and the reason for choosing high proteins. Though he isn't eating much yet, I want him to be ready.
Thanks again, hope to see you all soon

Im still learning with the labels and carbs and such.
Thats what i meant by coach you have been there so you know and can help him.
Sometimes my dh and I stand in the food ailse and read the ingredients and etc.
Its truly and eye opening experience to know the stuff i once thought was good for me actually wasnt.
Take care and Mike too.
That is so true..I have always said the industry and screwed with us so much..low fat..diet..carb..etc etc. the best thing I have found to keeping compliant is to eat as natural as possible..I try not to eat processed foods and junk foods. I have had a really hard time over the last year and struggled..but I am working very hard to get back on track and going back to that basic concept..
You will do great, sounds like you are working hard...and love the weight loss!!
