Hello

I just had my surgery on September 10 and have lost 10 pounds. I am having problems keeping motivated and reading the postings on this group seems to help... unlike some people, I don't have other family members to keep me motivated and although they want me to succeed, they really have no idea what it is like for me. I don't blame them, but it is nice to see what others that have had it done have to day.

Hey try2lose - girl (I hope!) you need to shake this off. You have made a life change for yourself - yes it is nice to have family support. But you are your biggest fan! If they dont tell you "way to go" then you tell them "I'm going!" Watch me - it's you. Then they will follow - dont let them be an excuse.

You are right they dont know what you are going through - even though I have been banded and in the same boat - I dont know what you are going through.

Dont let this be a block for you - seek support group help. I know the support group I attend is wonderful - and you get all the high-five's in the world - even when you have had a bad day!

So keep up the good work - and get it shaking! lol

Have a blessed day!
