Hello LB Lifestyle I can do this!!!!

Hello LB Lifestyle I can do this!!!!

 

Living with the band as a lifestyle. Yes, I can say I am now living the LB Lifestyle. I am 83 weeks from my surgery, lost 110 pounds and I will have my 2 year bandversary at the end of June. I know what I am doing.

 

My weight has stayed the same for five months and I feel like a million bucks every time I look in the mirror. All of my clothes fit and I have a hard time trying to decide what to wear because I have so many choices now.

 

The only problem I have encountered during this adventurous journey is I must keep myself well hydrated. If I do not drink enough liquids I feel sick.

 

I have to have some kind of nourousing liquid going in at all times except at meal times.

 

I must say following all the bandster rules has also been key to my happiness and success on this journey.

 

I am starting the process to see if I want to have the "Nip and Tuck" . That is a lot to think about. I was told today it is a six week recovery. I am not sure I am ready for that. The paper work will be submitted to insurance and we will see just what they will or will not cover.

 

Sure is something to think about! Best wishes all my LB buddies. imaluckydog

 

 

 

 

I remember being so excited to get the LB and I am just as excited today to be as healthy and energetic as I am. I am never looking back. Those miserable days are gone forever. Hello LB lifestyle I can do this!!!
