I don't miss getting up in the middle of the night to go pee and it taking for ever to make the 1st step to the bathroom because my feet hurt so bad. I would just pray that I would make it those 20 steps. As far as the photos I did start a scrapbook my 1st day and have monthly updates. It is amazing to look back and see my progress. I have had several people take my book home to read and look at the pics. The size 32 pics look a lot different than the newest size 18 pics.

Congrats!! One thing I have learned through my band process is that you must be a little selfish. You have to take care of you for a while. I had the band on 02-20-08 and as of this morning I have lost 137 lbs. It has been awesome! As your husbands sees your results trust me he will become more and more supportive.
