Hi,

I am looking for a couple of people who would like to join my little support group. So far our group consists of :

Me- I was banded in November and have lost 35lbs.

My Sister- She had the by-pass surgery 2 weeks ago.

My Mom- She is scheduled for the Lap-band.

A couple of our kids who are over weight and we're taking them on this journey with us!

I have created a website where I post a suggested menu for the week. We do weekly weigh ins, post food and exercise journals, share recipes and NSV's with each other. Basically it's a very family oriented support group/website. If you would like to join, let me know and I'll send you a link to join our group. Good Luck to all.....We can do this!!

Lisa please contact me at my email address christine.perez@cox.net and I will let the group know you are interested in joining our little group. Th more the better. Hang in there . Did they remove the lap band when you got pregnant or just loosened it up ? Look forward to hearing from you again.

Christine :tt2:

I would love to join your group. I get banded on "Fat Tuesday" February 24th. Funny, right! I have lost 10 lbs. on pre-op diet. I am really ready since I have been dealing this since July 10. BCBS requested that I spend 6 months "to prove to them that I can lose weight." So I jumped that hoop and just waiting to go through those double doors. I am even going to wear my mardi gras beads. I hope that you can post some meals on your website as I panic if I don't plan ahead. Hope to support everyone as you support me! :tt2:
