Hey hey! I joined this site before I got banded (feb. 18/2010) and think it's high time I introduce myself. I am Joanna, been overweight since I was 10 years old. I've lost and regained, lost and regained, lost and regained all my life. Thankfully, I have ZERO health probs from my weight, but I needed a permanent solution to make my weight loss dreams come true. I've lost 25 lbs so far and I'm very excited about my journey. I exercise, follow the one-cup rule to the tee, and I'm experimenting with food and cooking to make this as smooth a journey as possible. Please message me if you want any of my delish recipes, I am very proud of them and I guarantee you will love them! Hope I get a chance to meet a lot of great people on here that is going through what I am! One question: Is there such a thing as a dating site for people who have had WLS? I'd love to meet a guy who has had surgery as well. I think that's important for my life long success with my beloved lap band, and also for having someone truly understand me. Take care and good luck to all! J
