There's nothing wrong with wanting support while going through such a major stressful life decision. And it does take a lot of strength to admit that we can't always do everything on our own. I don't know how you feel about God, but He is always there to hold your hand when you need it. And there are plenty of people here going through similar experiences as you who would be willing to hold your virtual hand, myself included. Don't hesitate to send me a message if you need someone to talk to, I'm on here a lot. I will help you in any way I can. You can do this. <3

We all need someone to hold our hands now and again. When I first started this journey, I relied on this site to "hold" my hand. I found others who totally understood what was going on....and I didn't want my family to get overloaded with all of my Lapband talk. Lean on your fellow bandsters when you need it. They are here for you and know what you are going through. DiMarie made a good point though...when it comes down to it...we have to want it bad enough to make the right choices. Having said that..please know that all of us have had moments on this journey when we realize that we are still learning. I am now a year and 1/2 out and still learning. I know not to let myself get too hungry...or I will eat too fast and get something stuck. There are still time when I do this. Keep doing your best!

You and i sound alike! I am a grad student, and i too stalled at my 3 weeks mark!! I thought about buying those shots, i have been using EAS as a filler, but i hate it so i have been mixing it into smoothies. Sorry to hear about your childhood home, that had to be very difficult. I am going to add exercise in the hopes to get my energy level up and the losing going. Happy new year!

You will do great. I started my 10 day liquid diet today. My surgery is scheduled for the 29th of this month.
