Before I had children I was about 140 pounds.  After I had my first two ('98 and '99) I still maintained my weight at around 140.  After I had my third son I was about 165 pounds.  Four babies later and I was over 200 pounds.  206 to be exact.  That's when I knew I needed to do something.  I've had a few co-workers that had WLS.  One in particular had the lap band and would always talk about her success and how happy she was.  She told me to just go to a seminar so that I can hear what its all about.  I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to do something as drastic by having a gastric bypass but that the lap band was just what I needed.  I was banded July 13, 2009.  On the day of surgery I weighed exactly 200 pounds.  Ten days later I was 192.  Not sure what I am today because I vow to only weigh myself when I go to the docor.  I am now trying to get right with my eating and excercising.  I have no restrictions yet (I have a realize band) so I have pretty much been eating what I want.  I do get full fast but I have found myself snacking in between meals.  I really want to loose 50 pounds by my "bandiversary."  My weight goal is to be 130 pounds.
