Lap Band Talk Forum

I wanted to share with the interested parties a very informative link - Lap Band Talk Forum. This blog is still new to me and the idea of chat rooms is still very foreign to me. Being one of only two people that I know who had the lap band (Hi Mo!) I have limited opportunities to commiserate or identify what I am experiencing. This website gives me these opportunities. More and more often I find myself going to this link and posting a search word. From this simple inquiry I get loads of input from actual people who are going through or have gone through what I am. My most recent search was for plateaus. I am shocked that I am not losing weight the way I expected to. After all in the past I could lose 30 lbs. in a matter of six weeks. It's now past nine weeks since this journey began which includes the two months since surgery and I am just at that point now.

I may have mentioned earlier about having never plateaued before. The truth is that I never recognized that I was plateauing. I always thought that I had just lost some weight and fell off the wagon. Nope. Not true. It was those times that I had plateaued but didn't recognize it. So now I realize that even if I'm not having the weight fall off me I've changed enough about me that this will -- correction -- this is working just in a way it never did before. And that is what makes me know this time I will do it!
