Looking for a buddy, someone that would like to email on a pretty regular basis and really help keep me on track. It's basically like I have to restart the entire journey over again. So, if you think you might be a good match for me, I'll be waiting to see ya in my inbox.

I would email ya, everyone needs support for this new journey. when did you have the band put on? i had mine done in april and have lost 33 lbs now. yes it is hard, but i know that i have to do this for me, and for my kids, to be around for a long time. you have to make wise choices every single day.

you can email me at slcreeden@gmail.com

Hi- I just went back to my surgeon after avoiding it for 3 years. I am in the same boat - starting over. I would love to have some one who understands the journey - Holly

I did have to restart over ! So I have a idea what your going threw.

I posted a add on here in the post op section called Woo Hoo !

Feel free to read it, and I'm on here often.

Let me know what you are interested in, and you have to be serious about this.

Cause I know I am... Let me know.

Shirley.

thanks for the support!! i appreciate it. its nice to know I can reach out!

I'm with you-I had lost 50pds and have gained it back.....it is very frustrating and no one in my family understands! I'm ashamed to go back to the doctor to get another fill:( because I don't think he would do one.

Hello Everyone!

You all have already made the biggest step there is... You reached out and asked for help and support...... that is huge!! So give yourself a pat on the back. As long as we keep trying that is all what matters. Bad habits and weight do not kreep over night and it takes 3 weeks of conscious effort to work on one habit at a time. We gals are very emotional and taking a real good look why we eat in the first place...we eat because we are bored, happy ..... and to also differentiate between truely being hungry and head hunger. that that make a big difference as well, to know when we are hungry because we need food as fuel.

My surgeon told me to throw the word diet out of the window and he was right......we have to eat to live and food can be enjoyed as long as it is in moderation. So .... allow yourself the occasional splurge as long as it is occasional

A journey is the time where you learn healthy habit and get better at it, also work on some of the emotional challenges and do something healthy other than eat.. call a friend, Zumba etc.

Surround yourself with friends and family and Celebrate each little achievement.

Positive affirmation is also a good practice to be proud of who you are and what you have achieved.
