I'm new here, too
I've been on the main board for a while but I don't post much over there.
I saw Jean's post about this board and can't believe I've never been over here.
I hit my all time high weight on my annual Dr visit 9-7-07 and went home that day and started a low fat diet. I started my WLS process and it took 6 mos but I had my Lap Band surgery in March. I Lost 60 lbs before surgery and 40 since surgery. It's going really slow now but at least it's going.
Thanks for letting me join in.

Welcome to OFF. We are sometimes hard to find but we are worth the wait. It took me a while to find them here to but I am so much at home. I miss them all when something comes up and I can't get here.
We offer unconditional love, and there is a lot of knowledge here too. When there is a question there is someone that can help that is for sure. We share our lives and also share love, happiness, sadness and tears. There isn't anything that isn't shared because when we share happiness we spread it and when we share sadness it lightens the load.
Please post often so we can get to know you and you can get to know us. We would love for you to get a cuppa and pull up a comfy seat and start chatting with us.

Welcome!
Your weight loss has been excellent, including the post-op portion. Average weight loss with the band is 1-2 lbs a week, so you're right on target.
