Chrissy L 0 Posted October 9, 2011 Hi I'm Chrissy (Christal La Fountain) from Cape May County in NJ. I was banded Sept 22, 2010. Taking care of a dying friend for almost a year I only lost and regained and lost again about 15 lbs. I had no restriction until the past three months. Focusing on myself now, 4 weeks abstinent of flours, most sugars (that I am aware of) and Atkins have made a loss of five to eight pounds (depending on the day and time of day the scale feels like telling me lol). Multiple health issues ( two genetic disorders causing multiple other issues) that I work around. There are days of vomiting, pain (I can usually work through pain though) edema, headaches, hives,etc etc etc and I have multiple medications. I hope to find someone else in the same position to be able to encourage each other. I know it will be slow, and I'm ok with that, it just gets lonely being so slow lol. I'm at 203 lbs, 5'2" tall (or short) very outgoing and goal is 115 lbs to 120lbs. I have some great friends in the wls community, I just need to focus on a daily reprieve. Even if someone isn't up to being an official "buddy" but just would like to sorta' hang out or talk at the boards, that would be really cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
