Three months today!

Well today is three months since I was banded. A lot of great things are happening with the weight loss. In my last post a month ago I told you about my not being able to walk for longer than 3 mins. (see blog if interested in my illness:-) I haven't walked for 1 & 1/2 years without my walker. Well after loosing 37 lbs. & physical therapy 3x a week...I'am walking again! Today I went to the grocery store & I was able to go down every aisle. 2 years ago before the H1N1 I did not find grocery shopping fun. Today I was thankful I could walk for an hour without sitting down (look out Macy's).

Tomorrow I'm joining a gym & I hope the weight loss goes even faster.

I'm starting to feel like my old very busy self again. I'am so glad I got this LAP-BAND®.

 

I just had to share with the people on this site who have keep me going & encouraged me with their stories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 

P.S. My husband is almost as excited as I'am that I can take over grocery shopping again :-):thumbup:

What a wonderful story and I'm so happy for you! I agree with the Macy's. Think of it this way -- you are getting healthy and helping the economy all at once! Best of luck to you; keep up the fantastic work!

That is wonderful! We had surgery on the same day. I am so happy for you. Isn't it amazing how much more energy you have now that you are losing weight? Keep on with your journey and look out Macy's!
