You brought tears to my eyes!!!! Thank you for such an inspirational story! I cannot wait to be where you are! I'm only 6 days post-op so this really gives me hope that I WILL get to my goal and be at a healthy BMI!

Continued blessings to you...and to everyone on this journey!

Congrats! I do think its easier when you're younger - I should have listened to my mom who told me to lose weight before I turned 30. We don't listen, do we? LOL

Wow, our stories are very similar! The only thing I regret about lapband is that I could have done it when I was younger. I had my first baby at 25 and got the band when I was 37. I also feel like it was all about Portion Control for me. I never diet or watch what I eat. I always eat what I am craving, but it is in very small portions. I still have about 20 pounds to go, but as of today have lost 120 pounds. Congrats to you, and I'm jealous that you have many more years to enjoy it!!

I totally agree. I think the band is about portion control. I have spent most of my life dieting and depriving myself with little or no results. I don't want to live the rest of my life on a diet, counting calories, etc. I want to be able to eat with my family instead of preparing me a separate meal. This is why I am so excited about my new life with the band. It allows me to continue with my life and keep my food intake under control. I can't wait to be able to say I have lost 120 lbs.!! Thanks for all of the inspiration you guys give me!:biggrin:
