Looking forward to my new beginning

My name is Kendra and I am a 33 year old wife and mother of two. I have been overweight since after having my daughter in 1998. So this is no longer baby fat. At my heaviest I was 247 lbs and I am only 5'1". I have been thinking about having the lap band for a couple of years now. I would make the appointment with TrueResults to talk about it but would never follow through. Once I reached 247 I figured something had to change or my husband was going to be a single father and I could not do that to him. I started watching what I ate at the beginning of 2011 and started working out with some of my friends at work. I went for my first TrueResults meeting with my husband in mid January. At my inital TrueResults meeting I weighed 236 lbs. I had my follow up meeting and got the approval for surgery from my insurance company in early March. I went on my liquid diet on March 17 and was banded on March 31. My weight at the time of being banded was 220 lbs. A lot of people say "why did you do it? You have lost X amount of weight on your own." I say to them "I have dieted before and have always gone back to my old eating habits and hopefully this will force me to stick with it." I am excited and looking forward to my new beginning.

Hey Shonda! I am in Dallas. I used TrueResults in Richardson. So far it has been an awesome experience. I am just ready to getting back to eating meat. LOL

I am with you. I have tried so many diets Atkins, Weight Watcher, Nutrisystem. Somehow I always seem to go back to my old eating habits. I get hungry watching others eat the BAD foods that I was avoiding. When my weight would plateau I would give up. I am hoping that the band will keep my full and keep me from craving the BAD foods or at least from overeating those bad foods. I am hoping with the additional help with the band, I will lose weight a little easier and be able to work out more with more energy. My surgeon will be submitting to the insurance company this week for approval. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck!
