Sharing a great moment.....

I just turned 38 Saturday . I actually weighed in and had reached a number I had hoped I would make by that day....I went upstairs and pulled out some jeans I have not put on in five years the last time I was that number. I can't believe this is actually happening. This band just stopped me dead in my tracks. I simply cannot overeat anymore! I am so busy with my kids and schedule even if I don't get the "right " foods in me that day , I still am ok because I did not overeat! I can't eat certain things and others surprisingly I still can. I am ready to add exercise now and plan to begin this week. I really feel I have hope for reaching my goals ....I don't feel deprived at all I feel like I can really live with this and lose...I am so glad I chose the band and had the guts to get this operation and take charge of my life. Last year I was so depressed when I turned 37 I had not been able to get my weight down for over 5 years. I could not diet I just kept failing and getting more upset with myself....Anyway it is a hopeful 2005 -----just thought I would share.....

Turning 38 was my turning point. I had this surgery 3 weeks before my 38th birthday..I kept telling myself I do not want to be fat at 40 so I knew I had to have the band and am so glad I did!

Congratulations to you!!
