Hello everyone..

My name is Jennifer and I actually have been watching this forum for a while and am ready to be writing in it now...

I am getting my lapband on Jan 26, 2010 and am really excited and really focused on a lifelong change:thumbup:

I see lots of good folks in these threads and look forward to using the site for a long, long time.

I am 39 and although I am active, I am overweight and need some help to help myself... I really think this is a good tool for me and I wish I could get it right now....:biggrin:

I am a single mom of three kids and I just imagine how different our summer is going to be because mom is a bit more mobile....

I look forward to seeing everyone in the threads...

Jennifer

Hello Jen! Glad you decided to chime in here.

We love to give support here and the more to do this, the better the information is for those looking into the surgery. There are folks here at all stages, even those who are undergoing plastics at the end of their weight loss journey.

Being more mobile is the best thing I think as I’m halfway to goal. I know it will only get better from here!

Hope to see you around more. J

What is nice is that there are answers for everything which is great...

I think this is the best part of mentally staying in the game...

Luckily I don't have a huge amount to lose but I need the lifelong hand holding that the lapband can give me... just a gentle reminder to slow down, eat less and concentrate on why you are eating...

Just tonight I had dinner and all I could think about is that what I ate for dinnerr will soon be two days of meals soon... and that is a great feeling...

Working in the military for twenty years.. I am used to eating a lot but now that I have retired.. not moving as much as I did before...that and athritis and lupus weighing me down (again, no pun intended:)

this is a great place for those folks that just want tons of info...

thanks again...

Jennifer
