I was born to a heroine addicted mother-she would leave my siblings and myself alone in the house for weeks at a time-we would sneak out thru floorboards in the closet to underneath the house and cruise the local dump late at night and early morning to get food so for me food is still a thing in my brain that makes me desperate to have in case its the last stuff I get-i know its not but its a weird process that goes thru my head.I was luckily adopted when I was 4 but I still have issues with things like that and sexual abuse that happened to me by the time I was 4.I have always battled food addiction my whole life it just never showed on me physically til the last 10 years.

I just jumped right into stuff and never really said who I was-oops. Im 35 and have 1 daughter who is 17.I am engaged to be married in November-we have been together for 6 years and before that i was single since my daughter was 2.I am currently trying to figure out what i want to do when I grow up-lol.I am a supervisor for a major grocery chain and although I like the basics of the job Im not keen on the drama and constant need to make money over customer service-actually this frustration is what a huge part of my weight gain over the last few years.Anywho...I love this board and feel like it has alot of great people who will nurture its members and be a great place for support.

Question about working out with the band
alatina replied to CollegeJoe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
so far so good for me on the water and I worked out today-I swished water a bunch so as not to fill u on water-moistened mouth without filling me up.I drank probably about 6 ounces in total for work out time.Swished the rest. -
Please share experience with Dr. Kuri
alatina replied to catfanlover's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
For me I found him to be pleasant along with his associates.I however wasnt a big fan of Miguels behavior(he is the shuttle driver)-he actually was always late and then the first day after we had been on planes.traffic,doctors offices etc....he thought he was going to keep washing his vehicle while we sat in the van-i of course did not allow this-long story but anyway....He also isnt the most informative person-now dont get me wrong-he is a nice enough fella Im sure just think he may be over extended and it reflects off on us.The hotel is nice enough-we arent in the nicest part of town but the hotel is probably a 3 star here in the states.We ate at the restaurant for my final meal-it was nice and very affordable.There is a delicious taco place around the corner-cant remember the name but honestly you are there such a short time it doesnt really matter.Do keep in mind the manner they do things is different and the hospital you go to is VERY small-10 rooms with 17 beds and rustic in appearance.The people are nice and its a good idea to have a basic phrase knowledge sheet with you so you can communicate because none of the nurses who attended to me spoke a lick of english.I was in room 10 and they do indeed check on you so thats good.They will give you a little yellow pill the night after surgery that you should get about 9 or 10 to put under your tongue and it will knock you out for the best sleep EVER-lol. -
mine was like jammin and losin
