Well let me tell you anyone who says that using surgery is the easy way out they sure are mistaken.... The Lap-band is just a tool to help you lose weight you have to work at it. It is so easy for me to eat high sugar and high fat foods because they taste good and go gown easy. I ce cream no problem handful of chips great but I have to keep my mind on what my body needs. I need to eat protein at every meal I need to drink lots and lots of water. I need to exercise. I need to stay away from high calorie ahem beer drinks. I should write down everything that I put in my mouth. I need to stop snacking just because theres pretzels and chips out at work that doesnt mean I need to eat them and half the time Im not even hungry. I cant complain to much I have lost 48 pounds that is amazing to me to think of how much weight that is. Thats like a toddler. Although to be honost I thought I would have lost more by now or atleast noticed more of a change physically. Once again I shouldnt complain my clothes are to big and even my panties are to big. Everyone says they can see I have lost a lot of weight but I think I am always going to see myself as an overweight person.

I do believe that this is the best decision I have ever made in my life and wouldnt change it for the world.

I love my band!!!!

this has been a whirlwind of an experience I am going in for my second fill this week I have been doing really well but I still feel like I can eat a lot at one sitting. I am realizing now that wls is not  the easy way out.    

Everyday is a struggle to eat the good stuff and not the bad stuff although I dont eat nearly as badly as I did before the surgery. I am starting to see a difference in my face and my co-workers have been commenting a lot about my weight loss I guess I wont really believe it myself until I start having to get new clothes but every week it is exciting to see my body change.

I think for lent I will make a deal with myself to go to the gym more easier said then done.....heehee

Good Luck fellow lap-bandders.......
