TGIF and TGIB

I am glad its Friday because I get up at 3 am during the weekdays to travel to a gym by work.

I'm glad I'm banded because having the procedure has moved me to change my lifestyle -- eating habits, exercise, what I do and the energy that I do it with. I don't have much restriction (if any), and I haven't lost 30 lbs a month since I started, but I'm proud of making the changes I have in my life.

The changes have improved my overall health -- I don't take blood pressure medication, I don't pant walking up stairs, I have much more energy.

My clothes are big and I've lost a significant amount of weight toward my goal. I have a long way to go, but I'm looking to add the band (restriction) to the mix over the next month (two fills scheduled) which should help.

Until then, and after then, I'm so grateful that I was able to take this step. Its changed my life A LOT.
