Hi everyone! My name is Caitlin and I am 21 years young. I had a profile on here before, but don't know my stuff to log-in so here I am again starting over. So far, since February 2008, I have lost 43 lbs!! I had lap-band surgery done on February 7,2008 and I must say it hasn't been easy, but my life has changed completely and I have never been happier!

I would love to make new friends on here, and hopefully become a part of a support group. I have a busy schedule but could really use the friends and support in my life! Happy looking, and please don't be a stranger!

Making progress!!

So no one said the road to success was going to be an easy one but I sure feel like it gets easier every day. I never thought in a million years I would say this but, I LOVE MY LIFE!!

I love it more with each pound I lose... the funny thing is, before you lose weight you think that the only thing that will change is your body. But not for me! My entire life is changing... DRASTICALLY! I am happy now... I am making stronger relationships, gaining confidence, and looking forward to each coming day. Who knew weight loss was going to be so life changing!

I have a wonderful guy in my life, wonderful friends, and a wonderful outlook on life now. Before I know it, I am going to be going on shopping sprees and loving the idea of shopping waaaay more than before.

I am eating much better now, less vomiting, and better food choices.

My friend Jamie went to Dr. Ferrari and got the gastric bypass done. She has made GREAT success but still battling the self control and depression. I told her that the journey to weight loss is only as depressing as you make it! Just because you can't eat this or that doesn't matter. Eating all that junk is what made me so miserable in the first place! Who needs that!?!?

You can eat what you want, how you want, when you want. But in the end, how you feel about your self is what is most important. So think of how you will feel after eating what you want. Is it worth it?

Probably not.

Thats all for now, folks! Gotta get my workout on!!

Band is tight but I am dealing...
on October 7, 2008 1:43 pm
So I had my 4th fill on September 19th.... about 7 months post-op. I have to admit it is super tight but I am finally losing again! I was gaining weight back again for  while but not its coming off again. This time its coming off about 7 lbs a week!

I have gotten to the point where I know what foods I can tolerate, but I am still having stuff get stuck and "purging" episodes. I know this is bad but I am so tired of being in a plateau. So it has come to my hardly eating until about 3pm. For some reason after 3 in the afternoon, I can pretty much eat with no problem. Sup with that??

AND... I got a new bf. Things are good and moving very smoothly... I can't wait to see where this goes :-)

Until next time all...

-Caitlin
