I have been lurking for a week or so but needed a community to be accountable to. I start my prenup diet on the 29th. My surgery is set for August 9 th. I have just turned 50 and have decided its my time to get healthy. Have two grown kids and live on a 46 acre horse farm. Nervous but excited about a new start.

Welcome! I have gotten tremendous value from this site and community of support.

Welcome and good luck!

Hello and welcome!!

Hi! this site can help answer alot of questions and be a great support system.

I learned so much from here before my surgery and continue to come back!

Good Luck with everything and welcome!

Hi there, I am 51 and live on 16 acres, no farm animals, though. So looking forward to losing weight and having a return of energy for serious outdoor life. I have been on here for a few weeks now, learning so much about everything to come. No date for me yet but I feel ready and willing.......

Was banded yesterday and am a bit sore today. Sipping, heating pads and meds are my best friends. Supposed to be at work on Monday but now I am not so sure. I did have a medium sized hernia repaired so that may account for my pain. Feeling okay -- no regrets.
