Hi there! Well.. here I am just marking time and doing my 6 months. I go for my second month 'weigh in" thursday. I'm down about 2 pounds (sigh). I just can't seem to motivate myself to anothe "diet". I did LA Weightloss for a year.. lost 20 pounds the first 6 months, and just started struggling again. I'm sooooo tired of it. I'm trying to get motivated again.

Anyone out there looking at a November/December band date?

Molly :biggrin:

I can relate, believe me. I put myself in the "slow loser" category. I have to really work at it to lose a pound. But I found Water seems to help me, also I have had a problem with bowels since surgery, so I have to help them along. Try increasing water and listen to your body, I stopped drinking the Protein Shakes and adding Fiber to my water, and low and behold I started losing!!

thanks for the replys. I really like this site for all the support you get. I have been a Water drinker for years.. It's all I drink. I can't stand the taste of all the artificial sweeterers and even splenda is awful to me, so I try to stay away from them. I have had to break down and start getting used to stuff like the lite yogurt..(yoplait key lime pie... yummy), and sugar free popsicles (if you eat them fast). I'm just kinda over it all right now. I went back to LA yesterday and got a new book and a pep talk, I'm trying!

Sil. That was a good question because I thought they would kinda guide me thru what I needed to do, and they didn't. They gave me the number and I had to make my own appointment. I thought they would call me and tell me what I needed to do. Keep track of all your stuff and ask questions. I missed out on about 2 months waiting on phone calls.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
