Well my story is the same ole same ole, I have been the "Fat Chick" all my life, and I have tried every diet under the sun, the only one that worked was starvation and well we know that did not last very long.
So about 2 years ago I started this journey of reviewing and changing my life, starting with getting rid of my alcholic boyfriend of ten years, there was one of my problems -I ate to hide his abuse and habit-
Then my road started getting smooth from there I got a good job, bought a house, and all seemed well enough, but about six months ago I realized I was doing everything I could to get healthy and I was still fat, so I consulted my Dr. and he suggested Lap Band or Gastric by pass so after researching them both I decided to go with the Lap-Band.
7-20-07--So now part 2 of my journey begins as I have had my surgery and everything is going well so far.
8*14*07 Well I had my first appointment and I have lost 23 pounds to date. I very happy even though I can not tell it in my clothes yet or anywhere else I am still excited. Now it is time to go back to work and get on a regular exercising program and lose more. I feel ok I am a little sore still and some swelling. I am not eating fully my portions the nutritionist wants me to eat but I am getting there one meal at a time.
