I signed up a few days ago and WOW how this site has changed! I remember lurking in the background,reading everythig I could, looking at before and after pic's and just dreaming of the day I could potentially have such a drastic change in my life. I could not even fathom the fact that I could have before and after pic's. It was very hard to imagine. I am now 8 years post-op and just wanted to touch base with other's who have had WLS. I have gained alot of knowlege on this site. I have really ramped up my vitamin intake (thanks to all the newbies!) I am just being reminded about all the basics. I'm having a hard time navigating this site so I have questions. I hope to hear from you!

Welcome (back) Jen! I also used to use this site back in 2002-2003 when I had my banding done. It's changed a LOT in some ways, in other ways not that much at all (which is a good thing). My favorite new feature is the health tracker that adds fun motivational lines to one's signature. Of course, it would be more fun if I were not in a few days worth of a stall (to be expected after going from like 200-300 kcal on my liquid phase to being able to have more than that on my soft food stage), but that's just part of the process. Ask away with any questions you have, and we'll do our best to answer them. :)

Thank you! I'm slowly but surely learning by trial and error LOL! It's mostly some of the lingo that I'm not sure about. I can't think of them now but as soon as I do, I'll ask.

Thank you! It's really good to be back. This time as a member. It's really helping me because there are alot of things discussed that nobody talked about back then. I like how everybody is so open about just about everything. There's no such thing as TMI! We're all in this together :)
