Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I'd love some advice

:smile:

I'm starting to find things harder and harder. Have had the band for four months now and have lost 11kg's (that's 24.2 pounds I think), I was thinking about what I ate and seeing it reduce as I had my third fill - now having trouble with meat or breads in particular. I was into going to gym classes each week and doing a bit on my exercise bike but then I got sick and injured my neck as well and have found it hard to exercise again which leaves me feeling pretty depressed.

Almost as if I need the exercise to feel at all good about myself and looking in the mirror I really don't see the changes in my body.

Another problem has come up that I may need jaw surgery to correct, the dentist is worried that only four of my teeth connect when I chew (I have an underbite) and since my last fill I have found it very difficult to chew enough, eating is such hard work.

I would be grateful for any advice . . .

send me a PM and we can talk about it- I'd love to offer some ideas- I have managed to lose oer 200 lbs so I've probably hit all of the walls and managed to climb over them.
