Hello! I could use someone for support and friendship in this journey. I was banded on 1/5 of this year, I have lost 47 pound so far but have plateaued the past 3 weeks. I am married and a mom of 2 year old twins. I am also a RN in an urban emergency room and work full time. I live in Louisville, KY. I am feeling pretty discouraged with my plateau and would enjoy talking with someone who has been there and gotten through it.

Hi Erica, I know how difficult it is when you hit a wall. I had my banding just 2 months before you and have hit my 50 lb loss and now have another baby step of 25. After that I still will have another 50. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I have also hit something else too. That dreaded wall! I am a stay at home mom and have 6 kids and 4 grandkids now. 4 of my kids are still home although they are 2 teens and 2 adults. As long as they are still students, we let them stay here! I don't have twins but I did have 3 kids in less than 3 years and then 9 yrs later, I did it again! 3 in less than 3 yrs. I know...some say I was crazy but I would still do it again. Any way, I would like to be your buddy in this endevor but I live in Southern Calif. If you would like, we can at least e-mail or talk on the phone. Let me know and go from there.

And congratulations on your loss! That's really great!
