Surviving the Holidays

[Sherrie]

Well I did it. My appointment with Dr. Dort was December 27th. I was really worried about not loosing weight. I know that I had not been eating properly and eating to many sweets. My friend (lap-band) was a help through this time. It would only let me eat a bite or two of those things that I knew I should not of been having. I am at 8cc's of a 10cc band and still lost weight over the holidays with cheating. I am so happy with my band and would not give it up for anything. It has become my best friend and reminds me when I'm in a hurry and eat fast or to big of bites. For the first time in my life the last few months have taught me to actually feel my stomach and not just be a stress eater. My band is helping with that. I can't just eat and eat like I use to. My new best friends will not allow me.

Good luck to the new ones that are receiving bands. It is the best thing I've done. The weight loss is slow, but it is working.
