Helloooooo - Anyone out there????

Shelley, This is my first time on this forum. Thanks for catching my attention. I had lapband on 2/12/07. I am down 50 pounds so far. Only 47 left. This has been the best thing I have ever done fo rmyself. I will continue to check in now and then. \B

I had surgery on Feb. 1. I have lost a total of 59 pounds. I think I am a slower loser than most but I'm fine as long as it continues to come off. I'm amazed, but I know this tool is a part of my life now and I'm fine with that. I don't feel as though I'm deprived of anything. I can't tolerate ice cream or eating too fast but other than that, as long as I make wise choices, I'm fine. Everytime I have a stall, I wonder if this is it. Is this all I'm going to lose. Fortunately, it always starts to come off again, eventually. I need to get on a structured exercise program. Right now it is a hodge podge of whatever, usually walking or outdoor work. I need structure. Well gotta go and good luck to all. Betty
