The first day of the rest of my life........
on August 5, 2008 10:28 am
Tomorrow is my big day !  I almost can't believe it is finally here.  I'm a little hervous, but more anxious and excited than anything.  I will, however, be glad when it is all over with. lol  I've lost 60 pounds since March to get my BMI under 50.  It sounded like an impossible task in the beginning, but I made my mind up that I was going to do this.  I came on OH and started reading to learn what kinds of things lapband patients are eating and I changed the way I eat and the things I eat from the very beginning.  The fact that once I get my band, I will finally have a tool to help me keep the weight off this time has kept me going everyday.  So, tomorrow is my 42nd birthday and also my band day.  Happy Birthday to ME !  This is going to be the best present I could ever get, for it is giving me a NEW LIFE !

My Story

My name is Brenda.  I'm originally from Illinois, but have been in SC for 11 years now.  I've been overweight my entire life... since birth !  I've struggled with yoyo dieting since I was a teenager and have tried every silly thing out there from Richard Simmons Deal a Meal to Susan Powter's Stop the Insanity.. remember that one ? LOL   Well, I am finally ready to STOP THE INSANITY, by getting the lapband.  I started this process in March and am down 37 pounds as of today.  I think I'm so motivated right now because I know that this time I am FINALLY going to keep it off !  I have been to 3 seminars, have seen the NUT, had fitness eval and psych eval.  I finally have my first appointment with the surgeon on July 11 !  Woohoo !
