Happy 6 months to ME!

So today is my 6 months of being banded. I had my regular appointment yesterday and we did some extra things to make sure everything is ok as well.

 

I have a clean bill of health. The band is working wonderfully, I got another fill which puts me to just over 8ccs in a 14cc band.

 

I'm 7lbs shy of my 6 month goal which was to lose 50lbs, but given the weightloss rollercoaster I've been on with the shedding pounds then gaining muscle at this point I'm just excited to be losing and to see the results in my body.

 

When I shared what has going on with the sliming etc.. we discussed what I was eating each time, and then did a barium x-ray to make sure the band was working and not leaking, etc.. Everything looked great, it was so interesting to see it actually "work" in my body.

 

After we decided to do a small fill to aid in my upcoming PMS eating... and today I feel great, had some eggs and even a porkchop today. - at separate times of course lol

 

Other than that everything is great, this is still the best thing I ever did for myself... it's amazing to me to think and know that in 6 months time I will have another 50+ lbs to have lost a total of 100+lbs. It's amazing to me, makes me just want to shout and run on that like I was in church! God is SO good, none of this is possible for me without Him! Hallelujah! :unsure::):sneaky::confused:

 

This whole thing has just been awesome!

So Right! Thank God is what I try to do for all the things in my life. I am not going to make the 100 lbs loss for July 29th, but I am not discouraged, or defeated for all things are possible with God and I know that! I will lose what my body needs for me to lose when the time is right, and It may be more or less than that 100 and I will accept whatever it is and rejoice! I am down about 84-85 on any given day in just about 10 1/2 months, and I can live with that! With a little unfill to correct a tightness and inflamation, no real good weight loss for a couple of months due to it, a minor setback, and we will experience those too, but I am going on and going strong! You are too and have been an inspiration to me and I follow your blog. We are lifers now! LOL Keep up the good work and you look amazing by the way!
