My Story

Yay!  I have finally joined the world of bloggers!  Since I am new to this let me give you all some background about me.  My name is Christina and I am 30 years old.  On December 28, 2009 I had Lap-Band surgery.  That is definitely a date I will never forget because that is truly when the biggest journey I would ever embark on began.  I notice now that I refer to myself as 2 people (no I am not crazy! lol).  The first is "Pre-Surgery Christina" this is usually when I see a really fattening food or something tempting and I say "Oh Pre-Surgery Christina would have been all over that!"  The second is "Post-Surgery Christina"  which is who I am now.  I find it important to separate the two because I am truly a different person now. 

After losing 176 lbs and feeling as if I would never be able to lose the weight I have learned so much about myself.  There is so much to life that I wasn't living and did not even realize how much I held myself back.  Through writing this blog I hope to not only help myself but help others as well.  Recently I have gotten very "comfortable", a topic I plan on touching on, and have gained a small amount back.  Not something that I am proud of but when we fall we must pick ourselves up and keep going.  I hope that I can be of help to anyone looking to get the surgery or anyone who has it now.  It would be also great to get any insight from other people who have Lap-Bands that might have any useful information or tips for me too.
