Looking for online Buddy/Mentor

Hi, i'm from CT and I am 37 years old, happily married for 18 years and have a wonderful 2 year old son. I have a full time desk job so not much exercise during the day. I was banded on 4/22/08 and am struggling at the moment with not losing weight. Would really like someone to chat with online and maybe get a few pointers to help me get going in the right direction again. I have about 180# to lose and really need to get this journey going again. Look forward to meeting new people online how have been in my shoes at some point in their life.

Would love to be an online buddy with someone who has had experience in this. I was banded almost a year after you were. I had mine on 4/22/08. Can you give me a few tips on maybe a daily menu and how do you fit exercise in a busy schedule. I work from 8-4:30 and then I go home to make dinner, take care of and have play time with my 2 year old son and after he goes to bed, it's clean up time and then i'm exhausted for the day, but need to do something, so any tips from an experienced lapbander is greatly appreciated.
