New to Site After a long Break

[Cypanther 0]

Hi,

I've made it my goal to start being more active with Lap Band Talk. I took a long break for almost 3 years but logged into the site when it was near my surgery day/anniversary. I was banded on July 20, 2007 in Houston, Texas by Dr. Spivak. It's been a long road these three years with almost becoming anorexic due to my band being two tight. I've slowly returned to a good/reasonable weight and have flourished. I decided to repost in the introduction section to say I'm back and if you would like to add me as a friend please do. I've only got 3 friends so far.

Please add me as a friend.

Thanks for allowing me to post.

Welcome back! I too am returning after a long break and a few pounds gained. Hoping to keep myself inspired and accountable to get down to my goal weight. I'll be your friend!

Welcome Back!!

I too had fallen off and not been on this forum ------- but recently started to realize I needed to get back and start communicating with other bandsters!!!

I am 15 pounds from my goal weight --- happy where I am now -- but would LOVE to get to that goal even more!!

I exercise regularly and getting ready for the "Warrior Dash" (look up the Warrior Dash website....you will see it is a CRAZY fun race!!)

I am eating around my band -- which is preventing me from losing -- so I need some reinforcement to NOT eat the ice cream and other foods that don't get stopped by the band.

Good Luck on your journey!!

Hopefully we can help each other some how................

Welcome back! I was banded by Dr Spivak in July 2009, 2 years yesterday. I find it very helpful to stay on track when I come here and at least read that others are dealing with the same things that I do. I would love to be your friend.

Welcome Back,

It seems their's alot like me who stepped off the band wagon. It's time we get going and catch up. I just stared to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, I'm on Day 5 and it's been a killer to get here. I noticed last night that I could keep up and without stopping the video quite as often.

2911plans - You are absolutely right about the journey can't be done alone.
