Hello my name is Malika I go by the name complulsive09. My bestfriend gave me that name. She gave me that name because I worry about everything. (lol) I always worried about my weight but didnt really know what to do. I did all the things everyone did to lose weight but didn't really know how to eat and what to eat. My highest weight was 303 lbs. I currently weigh 250 lbs. I was banded 6/16/09.(280 lbs. day of sugery) I lost 40 lbs. with the band. But currently just gaind 10 lbs. I been doing this for the past 2 months of ganing and losing. This band is a tool not a cure me. I love this band it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I love the results. Everyday is a challenge. Some days I wish the band would do all the work. I come to realize that I am not one of the ones who can just cut back and the weight will come off. I HAVE TO WORKOUT!!! But thats okay I love to workout. (when I go lol). Okay let me tell you how it is living with the band. The surgery was not a walk in the park but I would do it all over again. I CAN STILL EAT EVERYTHING. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN'T EAT. Food gets stuck if I eat to fast. But I can't eat as much as I was able to before I was banded. And that is why I got the band. I laugh at the amount of food I eat now. (and my friends laugh also) The one thing I don't like about this band the 5/30 rule drinking 5 mins before you eat and 30 mins after you eat. I sometimes think oh I waited long enough after eating and think oh I can drink now and OUCH. Today I decided I was going to continue my journey on this site. I use this site to keep me going. I needed to do something different. I tried to write in a journal. That was not working for me. I need feed back!!
