I have spent my whole life overweight. But until I blew my knee out playing soccer in high school I have always been able to control it. From then on I packed on the pounds like no ones business. Finally when I reached 300 lb I knew I had to do something about it. That was when my mom suggested the surgery. My grandma and her sister had the Lap Ban about 6 or so years ago and had fairly decent success (they don't follow the "rules"). I am the kind of person who has tons of friends and from day one I have always been very open about the surgery. My friends and family were nothing but supportive from day one. Since my surgery and since I was off the liquid diet things have been wonderful. I have only had one adjustment so far. I admit I have times when I cheat or whatever but that is life and I have continued to loose about 3 lb a week since surgery. 

 

I am a big shopper and I hate not really being able to buy clothing because I am grown out of them in about a week or two. It does get a little frustrating because I try to follow fashion and look good but nothing fits anymore (all too big.. yay!) but that is certainly something I can get used to. Being big has never stopped me from going to the pool or beach and I practically live in a bathing suit over the summer but this year I cant wait to be looking good in one! I do get anxious about what I am going to look like when I am skinny but I cant wait to find out!!!!!!!!!
