Hi Everyone.  My name is Lauri.  I live in a small town in Illinois near the University of Illinois.  I've been married to my high school sweetheart for the last 25 years.  We have two sons - both in college.  I am scheduled for Lapband surgery on 1/31/07.  I'm really excited to get this weight loss thing started.  I've been over weight most of my life.  I was a "chubby" child.  I slimmed down for a couple of the teen years but really started packing it on by the end of high school.  I am hopful, excited, nervous, scared but I also am determined.

6 months
on July 10, 2007 1:53 pm
July - I've hit the 6 month milestone.  I've lost 58 lbs. and am pleased with my progress.  I've had 3 fills and should probably call for a 4th very soon.  Things I continue to struggle with:  exercise and drinking water.  

Exercise:  I decided to have WLS for many reasons.  I have a lot of pain - back, shoulder, hips, legs - nerve pain.  My hope is weight loss will less (maybe even eliminate?) this pain.  So far, the pain has not lessened and it makes exercise very difficult.  I have bought an adorable new, pink Schwinn bike and I want to ride it soooo badly.  I've made it around the block twice but its really hard.  I'll keep at it and in time, I'll be tooling around town on my pink bike!!

Water:  I don't really like to drink water.  This is something I really need to work on.
