Always there to listen and give advice.<br />Also- they keep me honest, and point out if I am trying to BS about what I am eating or how "good" I have been.

Mind you I have a few friends who have the lapband and I have asked them questions, and have gotten nothing but judgement for the "stupid" questions. lol Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363987461448417811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-42856661847687683762013-06-25T19:26:47.746-04:002013-06-25T19:26:47.746-04:00I work full time in a hospital that is connected t...I work full time in a hospital that is connected to the clinic I go to.

I am always in search of a Lap band blog by someone like you and I who have been on this journey for a long time. <br />As for who supports me....I have to admit....at this point of my journey, I look for most of my support from bloggers like you. That's why it's always nice to find a new one! It's not that my family and friends DON'T support me but hey....my weight loss and my Lap band is old news! <br />So, thanks fore being here. Even if I don't comment a lot and don't say thanks enough....know that I am here, I am reading along and I appreciate that you come here to support ME (yes, it's all about ME...isn't it?)! <br />Onward!<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014735777454955352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-86845852101602668862013-06-25T12:51:49.657-04:002013-06-25T12:51:49.657-04:00My husband is my biggest support.

He helped me get all the "crap" of out my house so that I wouldn't be tempted. He has lost more than 40 pounds since I was banded. He is the one I go to when I "feel" weird or excited about it.<br /><br />I also lean on the my blogging community. I have read the entire blog of most of the people whose blogs I have found...I find that it is a huge help to "learn from their mistakes".

They knew before I did that I needed to exercise, and when I finally figured it out, they've encouraged me every step of the way. The biggest unexpected support for me has been the blogger community though!<br /><br />My blog readers are so supportive and encouraging. When I didn't believe my band was too tight, they kept telling me. I finally believed them. On 'bad' weigh ins, they remind me a loss is a loss and the number is still decreasing! They makes me feel a sense of community, that I'm not alone in this!Holleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857003316936234230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-72334379115183561872013-06-25T11:52:08.346-04:002013-06-25T11:52:08.346-04:00My husband supports me more than anything! I have ...My husband supports me more than anything! I have a lot of family and friends who do too, but when I am feeling weird about the band, or that first week after surgery when I felt so miserable, my husband really supported me and made me feel better. In fact, when I started the pre-op diet, he started a diet. He is down about 18lbs, and I am down 27lbs. It helps that the person I am around the most is very supportive. I do wish I knew personally more people who have had Lap Band surgery, but the blogs help a lot with that end. When I am confused about something, my husband always asks, "What do your blogger friends say?" :)Christina Vineyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274630466544144522noreply@blogger.com
