nearly 40kg (80lbs) gone

I have had an interesting journey but you can hear all about it at www.beenabeena.blogspot.com

I am nearly at 1 year banded and am down a fair bit of weight. It is really nice to be in smaller sizes and not have to shop at the bigger girls stores anymore. That I would have to say has been the highlight. I do have really yucky legs and breasts from the skin that once was filled with fat. i had every intention of getting this all fixed until I recently went in for a restitch of a flipped port and the gallbladder was taken out at the same time. I have been getting spasms once a month since the band that radiate through the chest and my back and have had a heap of tests!!! We are just putting it down to oesophegal spasms irritated by the band and my menstral cycle! I have came to a stand still with the weight loss but its my own doing I have became addicted to chocolate lately (It think I have picked up another addiction due to the band) they say that this can happen as food has always been my addiction... I have also hurt my ankle so my usual walking each day has not been happening! The band does not tell you not to eat chocolate so BEWARE!!! LOL!! but im not complaining!!! I am happy with my progress and have always planned to do this over 2 years! 1 down another 1 to go to get to my goal of 75kg!!! 145lbs (i think)!! anyway take care have a read @ www.beenabeena.blogspot.com
