Doing Great

Hello everyone

It has been a while. I have had a few problems with not being able to eat and get enough protein. I went in to the doctor for a check up and the loosened my band a little. I am finally able to eat 3 small meals a day finally. I have lost 97 pounds in less than 6 months. I am wondering how I was able to carry so much weight around without my feet breaking lol. I can actully see my feet when I am standing up. My stomach is shrinking and I have dropped from a 4x to a size 16.Wow I can actually fit into pretty clothes again. Also I am off my sugar meds for a month now and my sugar has stayed in the normal range. My energy has increased and I dont want to sleep all the time. If I had to do the band over again I would in a heart beat. The band is the best tool in the world. I hope everyone has the best of luck with their band .
