I'm scheduled to have my lap-band surgery on Feb 21/11....I'm very excited to have found this site to have others that know what I have gone thru and what I will be going thru. I've been able to overcome so much in my life....but have never been able to overcome my weight problems. I know with this tool I will finally be the person that hides beneath all this fat. So hello to all that have already started their journey and to those like me that are waiting for our journey to start.

Hi there! Congrats on beginning your journey. This forum and other blogs are so useful. If you need any pointers or tips, just ask. I was just banded 2 weeks ago and I am doing great. Lost 13 pounds so far!

Congrats on the weight loss Amanda!! I loved your blog, and your sense of humor, but especially loved the picture of JAKE. I have two small dogs that our my babies, and they will both be losing with me. I don't think they are too happy about this, but like me it will add years to their lives. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas, and the days can't go by fast enough....I'm sure this will really prove true when I do the two weeks of liquid diet,and the following weeks after surgery. Anyways thanks for posting and I look forward to us both achieving our goals.

Congratulations!!

Thankyou KristinaAshley.....has your journey begun, and if so, how are you doing?

I have begun the journey and am so excited. I will be banded on March 7 :bananalama: Have been going to support group meetings and have been inspired by all the people there. Took over 2 years to get to this point. Needed to get my support system in place before I even considered this. For me, this is not "the easy way out". It took a lot of courage for me to get to this point. Can hardly wait to see the new me and shopping for the new clothes that go with it :thumbup: Will be awhile but I am ready for this journey and the challenges that lay ahead.

Cheers :cheers2:
