About Me:
 
Hi, as ashamed as I am, I am here to share my story. I had Lap Band surgery over two and a half years ago and have never had a fill. I know I am probably the only person in the world who has ever went through the trouble of having this surgery and has not took advantage of this wonderful tool. I truly do feel blessed because I have it, I feel in my heart of hearts that without it, my weight would have just kept going up higher and higher. Even without the fill, this band has kept me from over eating and gaining any more weight. I started my journey at 342 lbs and with the help of the Lap Band and no help from me, it went down and stayed between 308 and 314 lbs. In the past two plus years I have never gone an ounce over 314 lbs. I do have restriction quite often, not all the time mind you, but enough to keep my eating habits in check. I had every intention of trying to lose the weight, but I couldn't cope with close family members unexpectedly passing away, plus the mirage of problems that followed. I used food as my coping mechanism so to speak. I am finally at a place in my life that I feel I no longer need food as a crutch for anything. I am now starting over and will be scheduled to get my first fill if i need it. With that being said, I do know I will need support from time to time and am hoping to give it in return. So please feel free to follow me in my journey through thick and thin. =)

*****************************************
As I have stated I am starting over, that means from the very beginning. I started a liquid diet on Feb 1,2010. Now I know, in no way shape or form do I need to be on liquids again, but for me, starting over is starting from scratch. So I have decided to do liquids for the for a total of 5 weeks (for my surgery it was 2 weeks pre-op & 3 weeks post-op) then after the 5 weeks are over I will schedule my first fill and take it from there. My stats will follow below.

**This stinks because I have been so good, I think my body may be in starvation mode though. So, today I started on solids again because I was so sick this past week and felt it was not worth it, so now I am eating very small portions every three hours and not eating after 7 or 8 pm depending on my schedule. I feel so much better now and am not hungry at all.

**Unofficial weigh in:
March 3,2010 - 292 lbs (-1) solid food (no fill)
