So sue me... I'm human. I make mistakes... Lots of them. I love to eat not because I'm hungry or because I'm a super human crime fighter and I need extra sustanance but just because, well, food is yummy. I've known this all along but not so much as after I got banded. Two or three days after surgery I was walking through my kitchen on my way to the laundry room and found myself face to face with a plate full of my delicious lemon Garlic chicken smothered in olive oil. So what did I do in this period of clear liquid diet????? Naturally without thinking I picked up a half of boneless chicken breast and just "plopped" it in my mouth. Chewed it a couple of times... Calmly walked over to the trash and spit it all out. Then I brushed my teeth and rinsed with Listerine... Looked in the mirror and forgave myself. What else can I do? I'm human. We're all human. So when you haVe a whoopsie moment. Don't beat yourself up... Forgive yourself and start fresh. You deserve it. Thanks for reading. Thanks to my family... Thank God and Dr Sal.

Hi guys! i have never blogged before but i just thought i would let people know about my story. I am 20 years old and was my heaviest at 261. everytime i looked in the mirror i just saw this fat girl but my insides were telling me this is was not suppose to be me. I am in nursing school and i want to be a good example for my patients and i want to be able to be the best nurse i can be physically and mentally... So one morning i looked up an info session and was on my way to a healthier life! I was banded January 9 2012 and am already down 30lbs!! i havent been this weight since before 8th grade!!! My nutritionist and doctor are so excited because i havent even recieved my first fill and they said that most people loose that much after a fill. I am nervous about the fill though...im afriad its going to hurt or they'll fill it too much...right now im in the "green zone" so they and I are happy!...over all i would say this is the BEST decision i have ever made!
