Hagerstown-Ish

[zubie1eye2 2]

So I noted a few topics on Hagerstown/Frederick areas but not really up to date. I just moved to Hagerstown about 3 months ago but have worked in the area (DC/NOVA) for the past 5 years.

Looking for some sort of support be it a meeting or exercise buddy, etc.

I was banded in March of 2009. Initially I went from 350 to 250 in the first year. I stayed pretty steady after that. Managed to get down to 210, annnnd somewhere in the past year I've popped on back up to 240. Not cool. I had my band checked via radiographs and a very slight fill about 6 months ago. Band is in fannnntastic shape.

I'm at a point where I'm filled to a point where I can eat proper portions and still have trouble with some items (and probably always will). Breakfast is my hardest meal by far, and dinner is usually fine. When I'm nervous, I can't eat (always fun!). I don't want another fill because it puts me to liquid breakfasts and trouble eating solid Proteins and veggies, which pretty much defeats the purpose. I managed to not touch soda for the first two and a half years. Then one day I took a sip. I drink 2-3 cans per day now. That's in process of getting nixed.

In short, I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. Perhaps just someone (or multiple someones) that have been through the banding process that aren't across the country. Whether you be new at it or a vet like myself, I think it'd be snazzy to keep contact with others, specifically locally. If someone wants to coordinate working out, I'm game for that.

Time to get back on the wagon for me, and support from people going through something similar is always a large motivator for me.

For locational purposes: While I live in hagerstown, I commute to DC once per week, Leesburg twice per week and work from home 1-2 days per week. I pass through Frederick 2-3 times weekly so it's an easy stopover for me.
