Hi Jenni,

how ya doin' slim!! Wanted to pass a few things past ya - I have

had my band now since November 10th of 06 - adjusting nicely I think -

have overcome MANY of my issues with food - food is certainly not my

crutch anymore!! I feel as if I am perfectly adjusted - had a second

fill in Feb and have 2.3 cc's in my 4.0 band. I can eat pretty much

everything, accept those things that all bandsters stay away from -

and am not pb'ing anymore (unless I try to eat too quickly w/big

bites) but no more violent episodes - THANK GOD!!! The reason I

wanted to touch base with you is this: I don't really follow the

bandster rules to the letter - I am losing about 1.5 to 2lbs a week

pretty steady - and pretty much eat what I want in very tiny

portions. I have had real trouble getting in all my water since my

second fill, but exercise often and eat healthy (for the most part) I

do drink with my meals - baby sips - I don't stop drinking 1/2 hour

before my meals and start up again 1- 2 hours later - and most

importantly I take my time eating because I gurgle so much that if I

ate any faster - I would probably pb - the 20 minute rule would not

work for me b/c then I probably would not get enough calories daily

from solid foods - I could easily get them in with liquids - but I

didn't get a band to live on liquids for life. So I guess what I am

asking you is - if I followed the rules - would I be losing faster??

What do you think - I mean everyone is different - and this seems to

be working for me, but I do experience some teeter-tottering with the

scale weekly also - but end up with a loss each week on Saturday. So

what do you think??
