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.
