Hello From Wyoming

[Shoshanna 98]

I signed up for this forum two and a half years ago when I first began considering lap band surgery. Since I never became part of the online community I thought it might be appropriate to officially introduce myself. My name is Shoshanna and I received my band in March of 2010. My weight loss was slower than that of many people and I hit my share of plateaus along the way, but that is okay. My highest weight was 240; I now weigh 160 with a final goal weight of 148. Currently I am resting on another plateau and thought perhaps some interaction with other banders will help me over what I hope is the final hump. If I can lend an ear or benefit of experience to others along the way, all the better.

HELLO,

CONGRATS ON YOUR BAND AND YOUR GREAT WEIGHT LOSS...YOU HAVE DONE GREAT....THE PLATEAUS ARE HARD, BUT I HAVE LEARNED THAT YOU CAN DRINK DIET hot chocolate TWO HOURS BEFORE BED AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU WILL HAVE LOST AT LEAST A LB....IT WORKS, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT DOES...IT HAS TO SAY DIET, NOT SUGAR FREE.....

Well, thank you for that information and congratulations on an astounding weight loss- 25 lbs below goal!

I don't know that I've seen diet hot chocolate. Can you suggest a brand or tell me the difference between diet and sugar free hot choc?
