I am a 29 year old mother of two girls (11 and 8). I have been married for 12 years. I have been relatively normal weight my entire pre-mom life. But everyone in my family said I was a "Big Girl", my pediatritian told me at 11 years old, that I was carrying around an extra twenty pound bag of dog food and should go on a diet. I was 5'5" and 125. That was perfect for my height even if not my age! I was basically told that I was fat and made of dog food. WTF. Instead of the Dr.s warning, that my fat would kill me before I could graduate from high school, inspiring me to lose the extra dog food, it caused a depression that resulted in my accepting a life of fat and early death. Well, fast forward a few years and I was still alive and pushing thirty. I realized that I now had two kids and an extra 140 pounds of dog food on me. I decided that it was time to do something. I decided on the lap band because I have seen so many people regain their weight after RNY. I knew lap band was adjustable, so I figured that regain could be adjusted for. I am currently four months out and have lost 35 pounds. I wish that the loss would come faster, but at least it's coming....
