Hello everyone my name is Heather and I'm from CT. My story is that I have been overweight my whole life just like most people that get this done. I was thin for maybe 1 year when I was 19-20 and then I got pregnant with my second child. When I was 18 I went on a diet pill and no eating binge lost over 80 pounds in like 6 months! I don't recommended it though I was very sick during that time. Anyhow now I just turned 27 this and my weight started at 278 pounds. I am 5'7" so a lot people would never believe that I weighed that much. I never told anyone the truth until now that I'm taking control of this addiction. I love food I think I always will. Even if I'm not eating it I love to cook. Well my marriage with food has ended as of Monday, June 25, 2007. I had my Lap-Band surgery done by Dr. Valin in New Haven, CT. Today is day 6 post-op and I am just starting to get hungry. I was fine till today, but it started when I got stressed out about something. So yes I am an emotional eater. This liquid diet for 2 weeks is no joke I'll tell u that much. I did lose 7 pounds in 5 days! That is great to me. In total since I started my journey doing pre-op diets a couple weeks ago, I lost 24 pounds total! So I am on my way.
