Hello,

I am Poodles. I am 44 years old, I live in New England. I am a mom and I currently work from home -which puts me wayyy to close to the fridge daily--

I am 5'7" and as of this morning I weighed in at 257. I want to lose at least 100lbs.

I am very motivated and have even started my pre-op diet early to get a jump start.

If there is anyone who is interested in being my buddy I'd really like that.

Hi Poodles,

I am 44 years old as well and would love to be your buddy. I was banded 5 weeks ago. I need to loose about 80 pounds. Do you have a date set yet?

Hi Poodles. I can be your buddy too. I'm a bit older than you - 49, but now I feel like I'm 29!. I was banded in July 07. I started my journey in April 07 at 324 lbs. and now I'm 176. I feel great. Send any questions my way. I'd be glad to try to help.

Sue

Hello Mgirl,

Thanks a bunch for offering....how do you feel 5 weeks out?

Do you want to share your story?

I have a ton of questions and could just write one after the other but that might be little annoying..lol

Should we exchange emails? Mine is poodles.me@gmail.com feel free to write me there if you prefer.

Thanks,

P

Sue -

Well, I'll be 45 very soon so you're not that far off. :shades_smile: The lap band is my birthday and x-mas gift to myself!

My email address is poodles.me@gmail.com

I am so happy that you both responded to be my buddy. I feel very lucky!
