New and already starting crap...

[pretty.potato 0]

Hi I'm new...born and raised in Texas...and already rubbing people the wrong way. But, I think that a difference of opinions is one of the greatest way to get to know others! Not doing it on purpose, but when I don't agree with something I will say my piece and defend it, unless I honestly am wrong, then I will fully apologize and ask to be educated further.

Ok, so now that that is out of the way, I was banded Dec. 23, 2008 and have thus far lost 21 lbs. I am looking forward to finally getting some control in life back, and I hope to learn from you guys, (because this is a big, big thing for me, and I admittedly need help). So, thank you all in advance, thank you whoever started this forum, and I hope to make some friends and learn from some great people.

:confused:

Hi there tater (heehee, J/K). I'm assuming that by "rubbing people the wrong way" you're referring to that "I ate a burger" thread? If so, forget about it!! People on here can usually agree to disagree and move on.....So welcome to Lapbandtalk! I think it's great that you're already diving in and posting. Let your voice be heard, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

hi & welcome & congrats on your weight loss..Its good to have an opinion of your own, the world would be pretty boring & dull if we all agreed all the time, but im if there is one thing we can all agree on here is, were all here for the same reason & its nice to give encouragement & support where needed...

keep up your good work

Hi Pretty Potato! (But after Plain called you Tater, I keep thinking of Ron White though and, "They call me tater salad." Sorry!)

Welcome to LBT! Congratulations on your surgery and progress! I look forward to seeing you around and I wish you lots of success!
