The Beginning

This is me now... Six years. Six very long years of being overweight. It all started my Junior year of highschool when I found out I was pregnant. I become incredibly depressed and ate everything in my path. My boyfriend and I were having problems at the time and my stress got the best of me. We "broke up" for a short 2 months. I put broke up in " " because of the simple fact that we still saw and spoke to each other every day, so i don't really count it as an actual break up. I became very bitter after he graduated that year, while I was still in highschool. He got to go off to college, while I'm stuck in this small town with a baby on the way and only a senior in High School. I tried to make the best of my situation. I thought about adoption for a while, but couldn't go thru with it. So here I was, a senior in highschool and pregnant. I was also taking college courses online as I was able to do half day courses. I gained 60-70 pounds I was pregnant. And I had a C-section, which didn't help matters at all. After my son was born, I lost a little weight, but not as much as I wanted. I got more depressed. I ate more and more. After 6 years, I had gained a total of 120 pounds. That's a whole person. I tried Weight Watchers, Spark People, Counting my calories and only eating 1500/day, and diet pills prescribed by my PCP. Nothing was working long term. I finally decided to do some research online about Lap Band. I found out all the steps you have to take, and next thing I knew, I was signing up for a seminar. I did it!! I took the first step to getting the LapBand Surgery. Tuesday night, I went to the seminar meeting thru Saint Luke's. It was very informational and made me realize that this is definitely the best choice for me. I made my first appointment with the physician for July 18th @ 10am. I am completely ready to start this journey. I am incredibly scared, but excited at the same time. Now, I need the support. My boyfriend does not support the surgery. He thinks I'm taking "the easy way out". But, lucky for me, I have SEVERAL people that support me and are behind me every step of the way. For someone who is only 23 years old and until I had my son, was always pretty small, I have to get my pre-baby weight back! BRING IT ON LAPBAND SURGERY! I'M READY FOR YOU!!!!! This is me when I was 3 months pregnant with my son. I would LOVE to look like this again!
