Hi Nichelle--You have done wonderful with your weight loss journey. I am a bandster! Have your friend visit us over at the lapband forum. SHe willfind numerous success stories. My surgery was around the same time as your surgery...10/26. I started my wl journey at 271...about 235-240 at surgery time and now I'm at 178. 93 pounds...but I've been here for about 6 weeks. Feel free to have your girlfriend email me if I can help. No matter what type of surgery one chooses...we're all in this together! Joan

Girl,you are doing good I had my surgery 10-01-2004 and I have only lost 129lbs and I am still 206 so I think you are doing great. I still have another 39lbs to go.We have truly came a long way. Trust me I feel your frustration but I have faith that we will make goal, maybe not in a year but we will make it. Keep up the good work.

I, too, have found that I am eating more now out of head hunger. I decided to start going back to see my nutritionist to help get me back on track. I saw her yesterday and I am trying to go back to basics. We talked about my making good food choices at least 90% of the time and allowing myself to have a small treat a couple of times a week or so. She said not to deprive myself, but do it within limits. I am having a hard time with carbs, I love them!
