Well yesterday was a beautiful day in Massachusetts. It has not been sunny and that nice for a long time. Would not you know it my Boyfriend/ fiancé begged me to go to the beach with him and his friends that were a couple. I reminded him that I was a big girl and big girl don’t go to beaches even if it’s just to relax. He begged me some more and told me he just want to spend some time with me doing things that all couples do. I felt bad let me tell you horrible, because he has been such a wonderful man. He has been to every support group and appointment for the lap band and I truly believe that at 23 I have found my soul mate. Anyway, I try to wiggle my way into my last year capree pants that was now tight on me, did my hair put on this cute shirt and a pair of really nice sandals. Hey I was looking cute, and my Bf confirmed it. Until we got the beach and my bf friends and girl friend arrived, she was the size of a broom. She looked at me from head to toe as if she was mortified of how big I was. I stayed close to my Bf the whole time but I was in a sea of skinny people, I look around not one big girl on that beach. To make matters worst my boyfriend friends started to remove their shirts and the girl removed her jeans too, to catch a Tan as they put it. I taught in my head “who are we kidding black people don’t Tan”. However, I just looked at them and said “it’s a nice day isn’t it”. The minute I say that it must have been an invitation for a conversation, she looked at me and said “you did not bring a swimsuit, today is a great day to catch a tan get some sun.” I look at her and politely said “no, I just want to relax today did not bring a suit”. My boyfriend, I , and the two friends stayed on the beach for about 4 hours and the whole time I am thinking I can’t wait to get my lap band. I honestly love the beach I love nature, but most times I don’t get enjoy those things because of my size. I am hopping after the lap band I will be more willing to but myself more in social situation.

My name is Gigi am 23 and going to have the lap band done. I have been over weight for most of my life. I realize at the age of 22 I need to change my life. For most of my life I wanted to be the over weight women with the high self esteem. It was a role I played well but the truth is I know that I was fat, and I know that I need to change my life. I am right now meeting with my doctor. I am hoping to have it done by June. I am scared of getting it done, of having surgery and how my life is going change after I have it done. However, I also think about how different my life would be after I get it done. It would be a fresh start, a chance for me to accomplish all the dreams that my weight have hindered. I am getting the lap band done despite the lack of support from my mother, father and Boyfriend of 3 years. I think the older I get the more I realize it’s about me, my needs , my wants, and my desire to evolve. I think everyone who have or contemplating of having the lap band done understand being over weight is horrible. It’s horrible because when you enter a room full of people, in the back of your mind you know the “elephant in the room” is you.

Please reply, i am new to this and i need some help:rolleyes2:. So please help me Thank you

I am meeting with my doctor next week. I am hoping he tells me about my surgery date. I have done most of the requirements but not all; I still have 2 more support groups and a visited with the nutritionist. Things seem to be moving so fast right now it’s a little scary for me but I am hoping to have my band done by the end of summer. The rest of my appointments are all schedule for may. I am so happy am now shopping for a shake that I like. I am also trying to plan menus for me to go by on a daily basis. I am hoping to create a two weeks menu that I can alternate. I am honestly scared that I will fail at this. I want to the lap band so bad, I want it to change my life, and I hope I have it in me. I hope I have the energy to fight for this.:w00t:

I want my band in so badly. I have about 3 appt this month and I can’t wait for them. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about anything. I guess I just want to turn the page on the over weight me and start a new chapter in my life. It’s so funny when I first started this I was nervous about it but now I am happy. I finally got the support I needed from my whole family and my boyfriend. I was worried about not having enough support when I get the lap band done, because my family was not supportive especially my parents because I guess even though I am 23 they still se me as their baby girl. Ya:tongue: I am happy. I am so lucky because my boyfriend is a nurse practitioner and my mom is and RN so I know I will get good care and support after because both will take time off to be with me.

:Dancing_peevedoff:Today I woke up feeling frustrated, 325 pounds the scale read. Wow 325 pounds, more than twice the size of a healthy person. “I don’t feel like am 325”, the scale may be my enemy, but it’s a candid and forthright enemy. It is that honesty that makes me realize, I want a band, I am going to band, and I am also going to try to make my long time enemy the scale my ally.
