This was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. I really thought that I would have to fight my food demons to be able to stay on track. I have been pleasantly surprised.

I eat 5 to 6 little meals a day - well 3 meals and snacks in between - all realtively small. I have followed the book of instructions that they have given and it really works.

I am now down 33 pounds as of this morning. I have had two fills - both successful and no complications. Reading other peoples blogs and the lap band diva group on facebook makes me very greatful. I haven't had any complications or problems.

Even my family is eating better - plus since I have been using our home gym all my sons seem to have started as well. Now there is a line up and a time schedule as to who gets to use the gym and when.

The last to follow suit was my hubby. My oldest son made a comment about him being Santa this year and I think that was the last straw. He started working out this week too.

I am so happy that I made the decision to get the lap band. I have a tonne more energy and just feel great everyday. My wardrobe has always been full of xxl to small and it is a joy to move my way back down the closet.

My hubby is already talking about how he can't wait to go to Victoria Secret shopping for me.

Well - all I can say is that every dime we spent was well worth my health, happiness and future.

Good luck to all in their journeys.:thumbup:
