Favorite quotes:

Aristotle:  "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit." (Thanks to Mrs._Kimmie, who had this quote on her siggy line!)

Connie (ConnieJOS):  "When someone says something about surgery being the "easy" way out, or that people should be able to lose it "on their own", I tell them to ask a roofer if it's the hammer that put that roof on.  He USED the hammer, but he still had to drive every nail!  Same with the band... it doesn't do the work, we do."

Jachut (lapbandtalk.com):"we cannot rely on our bands to be so tight that we simply cannot eat very much. You just have to leave enough space to eat real food and call in some self control, sensibility and willpower to use the band wisely, its the biggest (and most difficult) lesson we all have to learn. Its a tool, not a total fix (dammit)."

Discogal:  "The band is like cruise control.  You can drive without it.  It's a tool that makes driving easier, but that doesn't mean you can fall asleep and let it do all the work.  You still have to steer the car in the right directon."

Nancy D:  "It's not your band's job to force you to stop eating.  It's job is to give you a satiety signal after a sensibly portioned meal...not by making you uncomfortable or stuffed or getting feelings of tightness or "I can't possibly eat another bite."

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

"Generally, proper restriction is a lot more subtle than folks think."
