Blast

You seem to have lost a lot and your just getting started. I have the one friend who is getting banded in July. So hopefully all goes well and I will get my surgery in August. We go to the same school, so we plan on being each others support. We will see how it goes though. Thank You for the ecouragement though.

Hi, I'm Angela aka Blast. I recently noticed that after my son's birth, 7 years ago, I don't have many pictures of me. I dislike taking pictures because I hate the size I am. A friend of mine is getting lap band surgery and that's what got me interested in doing weight loss surgery. I do not have much support from other friends or family. Every keeps saying, "Why don't you do it the natural way?" After looking at some youtube and reading posts on here, it seems like it is just a tool, not a procedure that automatically makes me lose weight. I've done a lot of weight loss diets before with the same outcome. It works for a while, then I get discouraged. I would work out hard and change my diet, but my size would change and not the numbers on the scale. That was so discouraging after training so hard to lose maybe 5 pounds. I'm hoping joining this group online will get me some support and advice about the lap band before and after I get the surgery. I even have a list of things I want to do once I get to goal weight. This list also gives you an idea of what type of person I am The List 1) Sky diving 2) Wear a swimsuit that I like 3) Travel to Fiji and pack only swimsuits 4) Cute Halloween costume 5) Tattoo on the side of my ribs 6) New wardrobe (not from Ashley or Lane) 7) Photo Shoot 8) Dance *wink* 9) Run a 5k 10) Buy a ring 11) Belly button piercing 12) Go to an amusement park without wondering if I will fit 13) Buy some Christians (shoes) 14) Go karaoke 15) Run down the street in the buff 16) Not be known as the fat one 17) Go snorkeling in the GA aquarium 18) Cute pregnancy 19) Takes tons of pics of whole body 20) Run after my kid without being winded 21) Get a LBD (little black dress)
