Hi Riley!! How are you and all the LB family doing? I am well, still struggling, but I see it as a means in search of doing the right thing. Everyone seems to be doing so well and happy for you all.

I think of you guys often. Will be in touch.

Hi ladies and gents!!! How are you all? I know as we approach the holidays we need support more than ever. Check in peeps! Ttyl......

Hi everyone it's been at least six months or more since I posted and I just want to reintroduce myself since I was never one to really write to much. I have never been a big writer sometimes I just don't know what to say. But when ever I had a chance would try to come on and at least check on everyone. While anyways I was Banded on 10/27/09 in Richmond by doctor Fisher. Pre-diet weight was 257 and the day of my surgery I weighted 227. I was doing really good but for the past 3 months I have hit the wall and I am staying at 170lbs:scared2:. I really need support and to take control of my my eating to be successful at this. I know how supportive all of you guys are so I am really going try to post more often and try to attended the meetings at Kaiser Richmond. If anyone has any other suggesters please give them to me:thumbup: . Thanks

Omg! Beatrice it sounds like you're doing great! Congrats... gurl! We all need the support. I'm kinda stuck at 185.?? But I know what I'm consistently doing wrong! I need to come to some support group meetings! Should have gone tonight. Maybe 3rd Wednesday. Can't wait to see you. I know I won't recognize you!

We should all go to somebody's support group meeting! Come on peeps. Let's motivate each other! Let's go! We got this!!!!!

Hello, my name is Carmen I was banded on Sept 13, 2010 at Kaiser Richmond, my surgeon was Dr Park..at the time of my surgery she put in 4 cc's I have been doing fairly well i've lost 20 lbs..but I am starting to snack more. do you gals/guys feel like you still have to diet all the time like you did before surgery?

Hello Gang,

I went to the Kaiser Richmond meeting tonight. Bev has retird and Liz is at the meetings. On the third Wednesday of November she has a Plastic Surgeon coming to talk to us. This group will be for post-ops only as they think it's too much information for those that haven't even had the surgery yet. I think it will be an interesting meeting.

I'd love to see some of you at those meetings. More and more people are being operated on, but not very many come.

I'm doing ok. Weight loss is very slow, but moving in the right direction. Clothes are looking better and better so I'm happy with that. I still do tons of exercise and track every bit that goes into my mouth.

Life is good. Last month went to New orleans to celebrate my 60th. Met my son there and we had a great time listening to jazz and eating small plates of fabulous food.

Take care everyone!

Good morning all!!! Monique I can't wait to see you.

Carmen welcome! I think the band is just a tool the reminds us not to over eat but we have to do all the work and it's really hard. If you start snacking you could eat all day because the band can't stop you from small amounts of food and the calories will add up. I suggest you write everything you eat and count you calories. Yes I do feel like I am dieting all the time but I also realize that if I don't the scale will not go down. This is why we all need support from our family, friends and weight loss community! But it sounds like you are doing great so just keep up the good work.

Lee I really wanted to go to the meeting but got back late from picking up my son from school. Thank you so much for the info in the next Wednesday meeting I will definitely try to make it there I hope many of you will because I think seeing each other will motivate all of us to do good in this journey we are traveling together.
