looking for lapband 150+ to lose penpal-lets walk together

Hey there, I am in my 30 and a mom.  I am one month post-op with a lapband and have over 150+ lbs (more like 250+) to go to my 'government optimal' BMI.  I am struggling with the life adjustment and would love to share with someone.  Even if you are struggling too...lets try and help each other through this amazing life change.  A little about me, I am a mom, and wife.  I am a Christian and an avid computer gamer and love great sci-fi and tv.   I am involved in politics and can get passionate about anything I believe in.  I would love to develop a friendship and an encouraging relationship to help get to that healthy stat we all are striving for.  If you are interested, drop me a line.  ~~Valencia

Hi Valencia -  I am going to be 29 towards the end of the month.  I have a daughter who is 5. My surgery was 5/30/07 and I have lost a total of 80 pounds.  I still have quite a ways to go, but I am very happy with how far I have come.  Please let me know if you need to talk. This is the first time I have seen this forum, so if you want to, pm me.  I may forget to come back here.  I had a tonsillectomy today and my thoughts are a little hazy.

im in the same boat :) i just got my band on 12/20/07 and according to the dr had about 300 to lose still leaving a ways to go. i hear all about the struggling part i cursed and whined for 2 hours yesterday how i didnt want the thing anymore but im over it now. Sure that feeling will come back though.
