I would also be interested in getting intouch with you ladies. I am 29 I am married have two kiddos 5 and 4. I live in Chicago. I have 100 pounds to loose. I just got the lap band last Thursday I am going to give this my all. I want to lose the weight to be healthier! I'm so young and I have so much to look forward to. I am disappointed in my self that I gave up. But I realized that I could change that I didn't have to be limited on the things I could do like fitting in a seat or going to an amusement park with my family and not worrying if ill fit in the seats and deal with the embarrassment that I cause not only myself but my family too. I need someone to be there for me that is going through the same thing I am because no matter how supportive my family can be they don't really understand what I'm going through. I promise ill be super supportive, active and always there for you. Send me a message if you are interested. Thanks.

I'm 29, married and have two kids. I was banded jan 22. I need to lose a total of 85 pounds. As of now I'm down almost 17. What about starting a group chat through whatsapp?

I have no idea what WhatsApp is... I am about to search for it though. How do we find each other on it?

It's an app. I think we need to add each other by phone number. It works better for me because I'm living in Israel. It's free for all of us.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
