So this is going really fast… Today I went in for my consultation, and they told me to go ahead and start the protein shake twice a day and that I would have my Pre-Op meeting with my doctor (our first meeting) then next Friday the 29th will be my surgery date… WOW That’s Fast!!! I’m So Excited; and a little scared to tell you the truth.

A Little About Me:

A Little About Me:
Well for starters, I am the youngest of three girls. My sisters are tall, thin, beautiful, and married with children. I am none of these things.
I am the smart one or the funny one! That’s a laugh.
My Dad tells me “If you could just lose some weight you would be so pretty.” Ya, that helps.
My Mom says, “If you lost a little weight you would be so happy” Okay news flash, I like myself!
Growing up no one ever picked on me or told me that I fat. In fact I really never knew that I was. The only thing my sisters ever said was that it was “baby fat” and it would go away. Looking back now ya “baby fat” usually is gone by the time you are in high school. Mine was not.
I don’t really ever remember being skinny. I have always loved my body and its curves, but I was never thin. And I don’t ever remember NOT being on a diet.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am 26 years old and have been on a diet my whole life! WOW that’s scary!!!!
For the last few years I have been a vegetarian and more recently a vegan, because who has ever seen a fat vegan, well again look right here because I am one. I am finally to the point that I have too loose weight; it’s my life we are talking about here. I get winded after walking a few flights of stairs, that’s truly sad. I am now saying something out loud that my mind has been screaming for years, “I am fat, I Am Fat, FAT FAT FAT!!!” Now that I have recognized the problem I can do something about it!!!
My breaking point came when a friend of mine wanted to go to Vegas, and do that in door sky diving simulator, and I really wanted to do it but I didn’t meet the weight requirements, so I told her that I was afraid. I didn’t want to tell her that I was to fat to do it.
Now this summer we are going to Mexico and my friends (who are all size 2) want to do that canopy thing, where you are harnessed on a pulley thingy and soar above the trees, well again I am too fat but, I have 5 months to do something about it and now it’s on!
Lap Band is the tool that I have chosen to help me fight my obesity (Wow! Now that’s a scary word). I have taken the first step, I when to a seminar Saturday February 16, 2008. My first appointment is this Tuesday and I can’t wait. This will be the last year that I am Fat and unhealthy. I want to find the skinny girl inside.
More To Come!!!
