:help: I WAS BANDED IN NOVEMBER 21 2006 AND I'VE ONLY LOST ABOUT 30 LBS. SO FAR THIS YEAR. I HAD MY LAST FILL IN MARCH 2007. I have not been able to do any more because of family finances. MY INSURANCE IS NOT THAT GREAT AND I HAVE TO PAY A BIG DEDUCTABLE. THEN THEY HELP SOME. MY DOCTOR IS LAYTON ALLDREDGE AND HE WAS GREAT. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A SUPPORT GROUP FOR ALONG TIME,BECAUSE LACK OF TRANSPORTATION. I NEED SOME ADVICE OUT THERE! I KNOW PART OF MY PROBLEM IS THAT I LIKE TO DRINK WITH MY MEALS AND I FORGET TO OFTEN. I NEED TO EXERCISE MORE OFTEN AND EAT SMALLER PORTIONS. I HAVE NOT FOUND A PROTIEN shake THAT I LIKE AND CAN STOMACH DOWN? ALSO I NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER! THANKS FOR LISTENING OUT THERE IN LAP BAND LAND KRISTINE
