Hi!! My name is Ann Marie and I had my lap-band surgery on October 8, 2007. I have lost a total of 43 pounds. I live in Kansas City, married and have two teenagers. I need someone to motivate me, to give me encouragment. I think if I had that I would have a much better outlook.

Thank you!!!

I take it you are new to LBT... 43 lbs less than last year is better than being 43 lbs heavier - Don't beat yourself up too much - but know that you can do better.

I can't say that another person can motivate you - only you can do that - but can we can support you and talk to you and help you.

First thing you need to do is remember why you had the surgery - for me it was to get healthier and hopefully extend the #'s of years that I have left.

How's your restriction - what are you eating - give me a typical days food. Are you exercising... Have you just gotten complacence with the 43 that you have lost - how much more do you want to lose..
