In need of inspiration, help me banders.

[lottie:)]

Hello Banders,

For some bizarre reason I've just freaked and have oddly started to worry today what if this doesn't work ?

Could you please inspire me and tell me your weight when you started, your weight now and how long it's taken you.

Thank you x

Hey Lottie,
Me too worrying that it wont work! I was banded 17/8/12, I weighed 12st 4 at consultation, went on holiday and went up to 12st 11! Had my band and am now 11st 10, so 1 stone 1lb gone! Im very pleased with this so far as been struggling with my weight for so long.
I went out for a meal last night(chinese) and i'm on the mushy food stage so had fish and noodles, and i had the smallest bowl and felt full! I felt disappointed and great at the same time. I've always been able to eat huge amounts and love food, but the great thing is, I can eat what I like, but the band restricts the amount......Result!
You will be fine Lottie, it's a massive thing to get our heads around if we have been ruled by food for so long. We want this, we will be healthier and thin. Just think thin Lottie, and give yourself time to adjust to this new life!!
Good luck!!
xx

It will work for you if you work with it. We all have our fears and scares, goodness knows I have had my share and I am only 9 weeks out, but instead of letting them defeat me and throwing in the towel, which even with a band I know is very easy to do. I keep telling myself I did this because I have exhausted every other option and this is going to work because I am going to make it work. I did not pay £5,000 and give myself these perminent scars for no reason, I did it because this was last chance saloon. And by hook or by crook no matter what comes my way I am in control. With or without a band my mind set has changed, of course the band is helping but that is all that is it doing. Its not a miracle, its not a one size fits all solution but if I put the effort in I WILL get the rewards of that I am certain.

I haven't lost as quick as others you can see from my stats but I am very happy I have taken things slow not denied myself been on numerous holidays and still maintained.
Due to go on holiday in two weeks time decided to get my butt in gear on return. It does and will work if you work with it
