Hi all,I have never done a blog before so excuse me if I make a right mess of it! Where do you start eh? I will try at the begining.

Since I was about 12-13 years old ,I have always had a problem with food.I simply love it! Any of it-and nothing in particular! Lots of it,anytime of day/night.I just had to have it! lol

I remember weighing 12.5 stones when I was 14,and progressing to 20.6 in Feb 08,when I finally made the step to get my band.

Pre-op weight I was 20.6 stones before my 2 week liquid diet. Day of op 1st March 08,I weighed in at 19.2 stones. (gave up smoking day before op as well)

Havent really lost any weight since then,although I have lost quite a few inches! I am trying to be much more actice and do lots more exercise.

I had my 1st fill on 16th April 08,so far I dont feel any different but it is still early days I spose. Fingers crossed I will start to feel some restriction soon.

I love the idea of weighing in STONES! I always watch You are What You Eat on the BBC - and finally had to look up the conversion of pounds to stones.

Congratulations on your surgery and your fill!

Can you tell the rest of us the conversion of pounds and stones. I for one do not know but am very interested. Thanks
