Hello,

This is initial visit and first time posting with this site. Nevertheless, I look so very forward to the additional support that I can give and recieve. My name is Janice and I was banded on 03/02/07 in Virginia. I have lost 22 pounds thus far :cry and I am so fustrated about that. I am so badly wanting to buy something in a smaller size. I guess I want "overnight gratification" but then I don't want it that quickly--- can't shop that fast. I continue to work out 3-4 times per week and finally actually enjoy it and is eating the best I know how. I appreciate all the support and encouragement that each of you have to offer.

Hello and welcome. Hey, 20 some pounds is good loss. My surgeon's partner think's I'm crazy because I had him do a partial unfill recently, but I honestly don't think that overnight weightloss or really rapid weightloss is that great. And I had that at the beginning. It freaked me out! And it was hard on my body, I lost my gall bladder from it. Now I'm losing the weight at a slower place and I feel much healthier, I have more energy, and I'm excited because I'm going to exercise soon and so forth. Hang it there! I know what you mean about wanting to buy smaller sizes. I was eyeing this sun dress in size 16-18 and I am just now starting to wear size 18s again I thought about it, but I decided not to. I figured I would wear it for a while and then I would feel sad when it got too big. And if I buy a size 16 or 14 now then I would just feel frustrated with myself for not fitting into it. Welcome to the site, I hope you find it helpful.
