Lap Band Buddie In Southwest Suburbs Of Chicago

[mrsclooney918 47]

Hey! orland park here! had my surgery Jan 20 2010 and have lost 80 pounds so far! But now I've hit a plateau Any suggestions?

Plateaus suck.

I've shaken a small one but now am just in slow down mode. Mixing it up seems to help. Plus it keeps the process interesting: Looking for new foods to try, different exercising and journaling (or going online for support) are some of my tricks in my toolbox.

Today, I had an in-depth convo with the butcher at Whole Foods about some of the turkey meatballs. Ended up with 6 Protein packed meatballs of which I'll eat 2 for a meal as main protein. The rest go in the freezer. It was just a way to shake up my thought process instead of reaching for the same old, same old foods.

Hi firemed! I'm next door to you in Aurora - but spend more time in Oswego as that's where my friends are. Dr. Woodard did my surgery at Kendall Pointe. They are both fantastic, and your in good hands. Good luck to you!

So far since surgery Dec 22 down 47 pounds. Going to the gym and doing boot camp is really helping. Went to Dr on Thursday and didn't get a fill. So no fill yet. I feel like I am eating all the time. I wish I would of had a fill.

Hi, I guess you can say I'm a veteran at this, I'm almost 2yrs out I reside in Country Club Hills, IL which is about 20 minutes from you! I have probably experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly with my band but in the end I am "winning" and down just over 100lbs, when the site switched over, all of my friends were lost but I just want to say hello neighbors!

Is there any interest in starting a Chicago area group on this site? I checked all the groups and didn't see one. It said to get two or three people together to join when you set one up. So I askin'!
