Hello everyone! I'm new to this, however I have had my band since 12/08. I started out at abou 280lbs and am now down to 239. I have recently started to really up my exercise with some friends and I am hoping to see some more results that I don't feel I have been seeing lately. I feel as if I am behind the curve for what I sould have lost by now for having my band for almost 10 months. Any suggestions?

I completly know where you are coming from, I'm 19 and in college and it has taken some serious adjusting to make this life change work for me and you will too! I got really depressed after having my surgery and asking why I did this but once I was able to have more "normal" things it started to slowly drift away as I started to re-explore my new life I was starting. My family and I were raised in Italy so I understand the family that likes to eat situation and of course all my friends have the magic skinny gene, but I also found that sharing this with my friends has helped ease some of the anxiety of having this surgery done too.
