My name is May. I was banded on July 22, 2011. I am Forty, FAT, and getting Fit. Join me on my "life-saving" journey from having Bariatric Surgery to managing my hectic life of being a full-time mom, full-time employee and now full-time Lap-Bander...

A New Day!
Convocation Day at SDSU for my little sis, Yvonne (Ivy). We are so proud of her. I can't believe she's starting College! I can't believe I'm so old and have an 18 year old sister! What an exciting adventure for her. It was a full day for all of us, including my step-mom. I thought about Yvonne starting her new adventure and I thought about my own adventure with my lap band - what will my eating habits be, four years from now when Yvonne graduates? Today at lunch while 3 out of 5 of us had pasta and 1 out of 5 had fries and a wrap (in tortilla), I ate hummus (no pita). Four years from now at Yvonne's graduation, will I be celebrating her graduation with a bite of pasta, or a petite filet, or will I be eating strained yogurt and some hummus?
Wherever my lap band journey takes me, I'll just have to remember that I did this because my dad's poor health, one passed down to me through his genes, is what took him away from seeing his youngest daughter start college. I did this to see my children go to college.
