I saw a picture of myself and I couldn't believe it was me. Right then I knew I needed to make a change. I have struggled all my life with my weight. My ex left me because of my weight and he was embarassed to be seen with me. He never would admit it but I knew. He stopped taking me places. At my heaviest I was a size 22. I then went on prescription diet pills and got down to a 18...not small but at least better. Then after the weight loss stopped and it started creeping back on...I decided to have lap band May 2009. On July 24, 2009 I had my procedure. I know my life will change

I had my surgery a day before you! How are you doing?

Yes your life will change for the better, I was a size 22 and banded 3/21/09 and I don't regret it at all. I love my new journey, you will see changes on you like energy, confidence, self esteem, wanting to do new things in life. Sorry to hear about yout ex but remember things happen for a reason and it was not meant to be. Good luck in your new life and journey I wish you the best.

I am feeling much better. I am able to sleep better...actually slept on my side with my daughter snuggled up nect to me this afternoon. I ate some homemade egg drop soup about 2 ozs, but it was yummy. I also have found ocean spray sugar free cran-grape drink mix...it is a wonderful change from crystal light. I was able to get out today for a little while. I know tomorrow I will feel even better.

Each day will be better. Keep up the good work.
