Hi everyone
Just wanted to say HI, I be new to all this forum stuff so I hope i will begin to understand how this all works.
I had the lap-band surgery and I am now seven weeks post-op and have lost 30 pounds which is GREAT for me. I would like any advice that anyone has on recipes, excerise etc.
Thank you

Hi Jodi,
Welcome to the board!
Congrats on your success so far.
There is a recipes forum here and www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com has tons of WLS friendly recipes. I use a lot of her recipes. Nik & Jupiter on the RNY board post quite a few good recipes too.
Exercise - you just gotta find what you like and what works for you. I Jazzercise 4x's per week - LOVE IT!! I also take a nice walk around the neighborhood daily - right now anyway - I got laid off, so I have lots of time on my hands... LOL. Just try a few things and see what you like. Since you are still early out - walking is probably the best place to start.
Good luck!
Maurie
