hello! my name is alyssa, aka alyanne, and im just starting my weightloss journey. im 19 years old and i want to live my life in a completely different way, so i opted for lapband. my surgery date was jan 18 2012 and since starting my preop diet i have lost 21.6lbs! i have a long way to go but i'm excited and so ready for it. i have a feeling im going to need a lot of excercise motivation though. lol. if there are any banders out there, or anybody really, feel free to add me. :) i will be working in the 1100-1300 cal range if anybody needs some ideas. :)

    You are a brave girl. Almost had the surgery when it first came out years ago and I chickened out. Wish I had......I would have been skinny for a long time now instead of still chubbo. Be sure to eat your veges/fruit. Just don't touch trash food. Good Luck.

    thank you. and i wont. my dedication to losing weight has never been this solid before. i think a lot of it came from the 6 months of trying to get insurance approval. lol.

    There are weight-loss surgery groups on MFP if you are interested:

    Search "WLS", lap band" and "gastric bypass" for the groups.
