I Am Looking For A Mentor/buddy. (Struggling A Bit)

Hello. I am a 35 year old woman. I am a stay at home mom. I have a 7 and a 4 year old, (and a 42 year old).When I started my pre-op diet I weighed 234 lbs. I had my surgery on the 17th of Feb. I got my first fill on March 27, and I am struggling. I have been fluckuating between losing 21 and 24 lbs. for about a month now. I work out 5 days a week for 1-2 hours a day. I eat right, and I just don't get what is going on. I just need someone to talk to, or some advice or something. It is just really frustrating losing and gaining the same lb. or 2 over and over again. Please help. I am a very down to earth open minded person. If you would like to be my mentor/buddy, I am here. And would love to talk. Have a great day!

Hi, I would love to be a buddy too! i had my band on 12/21 and struggling a bit too. I don't have barely any restriction and I had two fills so far, next one isn't till 5/8. I eat right most of the time but can eat too much. I have 3 teenagers and find very little time to exercise after getting home from work and running them around to sports and such. I have lost about 33 pounds so far but the last two months only about 3-5 pounds per month. Message me if you need to talk! Good luck.
