I can't wait to start the new year. I'm newly banded, I've already lost 12 pounds (in a week!) and I'm feeling pretty confident.

This is going to be an incredible journey!!!!!

Anyone remember what it was like when they were first banded??

Anyone making resolutions for the new year?

Happy New Year everybody! Let's start 2011 with our goals in mind and our will in tact.

Happy New Year everybody! Let's start 2011 with our goals in mind and our will in tact.

Just wanted to introduce myself...My name is Jordyn and I am 20 years old. I was banded on 4/1/10 at 325 lbs. I am now 207 and struggling to get to my goal of 165! My surgeon was Dr. Nicholson at Baylor in Plano, TX. Looking forward to making new friends who understand exactly what I am going through!!!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I finally got my surgery date: 1/12/11. Have to be there at 5 a.m. (ugh!) I was denied so the process was delayed a month but now I'm on the road again and very excited. Got my liquid diet products today and will start that on 1/2/11. Happy New year everyone!

Hi All,

I'm 5'3 at 248 on 12/29. Dr. Rodriguez is my dr and I was banded 12/30 and am up with the typical shoulder pain... So I thought I'd read.

Welcome to the newly banded. I'm about 3 years out and stuck at a loss of 140 lbs and I need to lose about another 50 lbs and I kind of got sloppy with my eating habits in 2010 so I'm going to commit to getting back on this board regularly in the new year to get inspiration from all my other lapband friends out there. Wishing you all the success I had. I definitely would do it again for all the health and emotional gains it has been for me.

My resolution is put more effort in my appearance. I haven't worn makeup in a while and I might even start wearing contacts again. I need to have more pride in my appearance. I have always coasted on natural good lucks, but they kind of went away with my waste size. And to keep a cleaner house. And lose my excess weight. Actually my list is quite long, but I think I am on the right track.

Good luck everybody.
