Hi everyone! Although Ive been on the boards for a few months (mostly getting information) I never formally introduced myself. I am a 35yo, SAHM to 3 boys. They are 7, 5 and 3. The decision for me to even consider the lapband was a HUGE one. Ive been considering it for 2 years! Once I started the process in January, it went really quick. I was banded on 3/31. It could have been sooner, but my dh is in the military, and was on deployment. I wanted to wait until he got home. SO, he's been home the past week, taking care of me & our 3 boys. I have been walking every day for 30 minutes, and following the Stage 3 Diet. Low, and behold, 20 pounds EXACTLY this morning! I realize not every week will be this great, so Ill GLOAT while I can :ohmy:

This site is awesome!

If anyone has any questions for me, Id be mor ethan happy to answer them!

In Health!

Good for you - keep up the great work and the positive attitude - the walking doesn't hurt either!!!

Hi and welcome! Wow, 20 pounds is pretty amazing. Enjoy it.

We look forward to getting to know you as you go through your journey.

I am going to have my surgery on the 16th and I am looking forward to doing as well as you did!! Thank you for the wonderful motivation!! I must admit that I am a bit scared about it all. but I have to do it, as I have to lose this weight!!

Congratulations on doing so well and I hope that you meet your goal sooner than you expected!!!
