I just was sick of waching my life pass me by. Last summer my 15 year son wanted me to go to his football homecoming bonfire and I went. I was sitting in a chair when it gave and busted and of course everyone stopped to look at me on the ground. My son came over and helped me up but I could see this had hurt him =( He didn't invite me anywhere else. Killed me, so I tried wieght watchers and about died when the scale climbed over 340 pounds.The last time I had been on a scale was almost a year pior and I was at most 250 pounds. Can one person really gain 100 pounds in a year? I sure can! On the way home I STOPPED to eat I kept thinking What's WRONG WITH ME? I relized I needed a doctor to help so I went. I lost some wieght pior to being Banded cause I knew I needed too.
I am night and day today. Food doesn't rule me. It has taken about four fills to get here and I didn't a fill first two months after surgery due to another medical issue.
I FEEL GREAT!! I can move again. Thank God I am 30 and have four kids but a year ago I had given up on me. TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST if you don't YOU cant take care of anyone else!!! I LOVE the gym and if I dont go to the gym I am still UP and doing something! IT feels great to move and reach my feet. WHEN I have a bad day I just start again and things like fires and deep fryed food I no longer even miss it. IF I CAN DO IT SOOOOOO CAN YOU!
