It's been a long while..

I've not been on this board in a long time. I've been out of touch with my band, so to speak. I had my surgery in March 2009, lost over 50lbs, and then go pregnant. I had to have my band loosened because I was throwing up alot during my pregnancy. I gave birth to a sweet little boy in Feb 2010. I've since not had my band tightened back up and gain more than what I had lost. I am now at a point where I'm mad at myself, and tired of being tired. I'm at my highest weight I've ever been in my entire life. I've got an appt with Dr. Morton on Wednesday to have my band filled. I'm ready to get back my life. I've got 3 kids that need me and I need my energy! I don't know if any of you remember me or not... but I really need all the help I can get, to get back into the swing of things.

Hi Laura,

It is really good to see you. I remember you being here on the board often. Congrats on your precious bundle of joy.

Contacting your WLS center and making an appoint to see them is an awesome move.. The best you can make as far as I am concerned.

We are here for you sweetie. Please let us know how the dr. appt. went… We are cheering for you

As a side note… Laura, Please do not be mad at yourself. When I look back at what was or might have been, I become ineffective. I get bogged down in unresolved guilt and anger.. So the first thing I (Trina) has to do is get rid of the baggage of condemnation. Oh my when I get rid of that heavy load my journey becomes so much lighter.

Thank you Trina!

Unfortunately I had to reschedule my appointment last minute because my daughter became ill and needed to be seen at her doctor in Vanderbilt. It was rescheduled for April. I'm going to call every couple days though and see if they had a cancelation I can take. Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying to do what I can until I get to see Dr. Morton. My fiance and I joined the YMCA on Friday. I brought my gym clothes with me to work and will go straight there when I get off.

Well, how did it go at the gym?  I seem to always work too much and not find time to get to the rec center.  We got a  1 yr pass last month and have only been once.  I need to dedicate more time during the day for me. I never put myself as a priority.
