I wrote about my weightloss struggles last year, and I am frustrated and sad to say that the horriable creature has me up against the ropes again.......I have managed to gain back all 14 pounds I had lost and an additional 13 pounds on top of that.......I have started swiming two days a week for 1 1/2 hrs, so according to the calculator on Calorie-count.com I must be eating somewhere in excess of 3000 calories a day! I am just not sure how that is happening, but I think it has something to do with the huge quantity of coffee drinks and energy drinks that I consume weekly to stay alert? I am so tired of yo-yoing back and forth with my weight, I currently weigh more than I ever have in my entire life, even during both of my pregnancies! so I have started to look into the Lapband and I signed up for a free seminar on May 27th here in bakersfield. I am not sure if my insurance will cover this, and if it doesn't I have no idea how I will pay for it, but I am at my witts end with weightloss and weight gain. I started doing a little counting I have lost a total of about 80 pounds in the last 9 years and I have managed to gain it all back plus 13! I'm done with high blood pressure, I'm done with being out of breath, I'm done with dreading the stairs, and not wanting to play outside with the kids! I'm done with my Hiatial Hernia, and shopping in the Plus section in the back of the store hidden behind all the juniors and "Ladies" clothing. I don't ever want to have to ask for a seatblet extender on the airplane again, or squeez myself into the booth at the resturant, or not be able to fit into a dining chair with arms..........I guess I have gotten to the point that Its not about being skinny, although that is nice, its about being healthy and alive and enjoying it!!!
I'll let you all know how it goes!

Oh girlfriend I know this story all too well! I've been to one of those LapBand seminars, it's been a few years though. David's giving me the ok even if our insurance DOESN'T cover it, but god only knows what the payments would be! Anyway maybe I'll go with you next month! Pass on the info would ya?
Good luck at the seminar!!! I have not even been to one, but I have researched the crap out of it for the last 3 years - there have been 2 new bands in that time - a 10cc and a new one I can't remember the name of.
Soon as I get insurance that will cover it, I am all over it baby. I really hope you are able to make an informed decision!!
How's it going Megan?? I feel your pain! I'm back on my diet for probably the 3rd time this year and It's not quite May yet. Where are you swimming at?
TTYS!
I know how you feel. I am excited for when the baby comes but I also know I will need to diet my butt off once she is here. I havent gained much in this pregnancy but still before I got pregnant I wanted to lose about 70lbs. So add the other 15-20 I added with pregnancy and i need to lose almost 100lbs. I know where i went wrong. I stopped exercising and eating crap at work. I blamed the no exercise on being so tired after I got off work. But I know I need to get healthier. I am going to have 2 kids to keep up with now.
