A New Year ...A New Me!

So the holidays really caught me by surprise and even though I was down in the dumps:crying: a bit about the whole 'not being w/ the one you love' kind of holiday season I still had my family. I mean I'm quite aware that my immediate family are still the ones I love but it's been a long time since I've had that :wub:special kind of someone in my life and it's made me really emotional (:unsure:thank God i'm not an emotional eater or i'd be in big trouble). I've been :thumbup:praying though and Go

Stagnation....

Well as you can probably tell from the title i am currently at a stand still:sad:. I went to a specialist the other day (I have a pulmonologist....long story) and they of course weighed me in being i only go every 6mos or so,it seems i'm still @ the weight I last was when i had my 2nd BIG WEIGH-IN:confused:. Don't get me wrong I'm pleased to have lost this first 40lbs but I don't want to stop here:unsure:. I have a lot more to go before they will place the band because my BMI is still too high.

I stuck w/ my regular water and Crystal light and for dessert I had a sugar-free chocolate pudding. I am truly proud of myself and am understanding that this is all about conditioning yourself to do something different

My journey begins

I am new to this group and was referred by a good friend who's a member and just recently new to the LAP-BAND®®®®® journey. I started my journey about 6wks ago which would be late Sept. I am currently down 40lbs on the pre-surgery low carb/high protein shake diet. The diet is difficult but i'm doing it with hard work and much effort. I still have a long way to go due to my high BMI but i'm hoping to be successful even at this pre-surgery portion. I'm looking for all of the encouragement I can ge
