Hi everyone my name is Janice and I glad to be here. I have been looking for this type of support group for a while now and finally.... here I am!!! I was banned on March 3, 2007 in Virginia. I have had 2 fills now and is very frustrated to report that I have lost only 22 pounds. I guess that is good because I have never lost that much at one time but the other part is I think that I should be so much further along. I work out and eat properly, (at least the best I know how). I am glad to be here to get support, support others and gain a better insight to what I am feeling-- especially from those who have been in my shoes. I am open to all the :help:, and :clap2: that your are willing to offer. In advance, thank you!!!

Janice

Congrats on your loss! I don't think 22 lbs is a small amount. I think slow but steady might be the best way to go. I'm sure when you have reached your goal, you will think back and smile. Hang in there. I'm still waiting...........

I agree, but I know it's hard when you see other people losing so much more. How much do you have to lose ComedyCentral?

I'm still waithing too babs! August hopefully

Janice, I was banded on 3/5/07 1 fill on 6/5/07 I have lost 70 lbs. to date. I have alot of weight to loose. I started @ 297 lbs. to day I am 229Lbs. I only eat 3 very small meals a day. Protien shake in the am. Luch may consist of 1 yougurt lite n lively 60 calories. Sometimes I put sugar free ggranola in it. Stick of low fat string cheese or hard boiled egg only the white. Sugar free pudding or jello. Sometimes a small pear, etc. Dinner-fish, chicken or anything by bocca . Tonight I had the bocca chille 160 calories a small salad with the spray on dressing 1 calorie per spray. I keep boiled cabbage and try to eat with vinegar on it so that it fills me that is a free food no calories in it. I love how I feel and look and each day is a new begining for me.

Thanks for the encouragement

Janice
