R O L L C A L L !!!

Hi everyone, I'm Samantha I live in Northern NJ near Paramus. I had Lap-band surgery June  9th and so far i guess so good. I am on my liquid diet for another week and a half. So Protein Shakes are my best friend right now. My highest weight was 212, my post op on day of surgery was 201 and now i am fluctating between 195 and 200lbs every day. i get very discouraged but then think I haven't had a fill yet, my body is still healing, etc. But I see people lose so much slower with the band then with gastric bypass, maybe I should of had that done instead. There is a support group at Chilton Memorial Hospital once a month but it's at 5;30 so I haven't been to one yet. The forums and discussion boards have been my support so far...i wish I had more support though this is a tough road to handle.
I have been married for12 years have two kids a boy 8 a girl 6. I'm a Registered Dental Hygienist who will be going back to work PT in the fall. Hope to meet all of you one day!!!!!

 Karen here in Marlboro.  I am over 2 years out and love love love my band......never a problem.  I lost 75 lbs. the 1st year and am happy to say have kept it off for an entire year.  I wore a size 22 and now a 12.  Boobie reduction and tummy tuck are in my 2011 plans.  I am about 15 pounds away from goal and this is the year I will get there.....my food choices are quite repetitive but I dont mind.....nice to meet you all.....I had not looked the our Jersey Board for weeks because it is SO boring usually - this I like!!!!

Hi
Do you come to First Saturday Support? I am the facilitator of the group and don't know if you've ever come...you mentioned you go to alot of support groups. We meet once a month on Sat at RWJ in Scotch Plains

 Sheri, I'll absolutely consider your support group! But I admit, Saturdays are rough for me.
I'll look up the info and hopefully get there one of these days! - Nancy
