I do not know what is going on with me! I feel so defeated! I am so ashamed! I do not know why I am doing this! I have eaten so much since lunchtime, I don't think I should eat supper. I am going to spend the evening drinking my water. I promise! ALL EVENING! I feel no restriction from eating. Could not feel any discomfort at all and I KNOW I have eaten WAY more than I should have! 2 months out, I should know better! I DO know better, but that has not mattered today. Any advice is appreciated!

 Welcome, Stephanie! You have made a great decision that will totally change your life!! So glad to have you here :)

 Hi Heather, 

I use the Realize My Success website to track weight, but that's about it. A lady I work with uses Spark People and likes it a lot. I, personally, prefer to write it down in a journal. There are a lot of apps for the iPhone (and probably others) that are good too. My husband uses Live Strong (I think that's what it's called). Good luck finding your perfect fit!

Thanks Heather for the advice.  Yesterday, I had to take two pain pills to get relief
for the after noon and night.  I heard from others they're had it for weeks, bite your tongue. Today, I took one early this morning, and so far so good.  Seeing my Dr. tomorrow, will check it out. Thanks a lot for the feedback.  Katie in New York

Hi Stephanie,

Welcome aboard, your surgery date will be here before you know it.  Yahoo!  I was banded last week and am feeling and doing fine.  Glad that you have met with your surgeon and feel  positive about your choice, that makes for the best experience.

You are going to be a success.  Let me know if I can help you in anyway.
