I am SO thankful for my band!

I am on vacation in San Francisco this week. I have been walking up and down hills galore, even climbed the STEEP stairs up and down to the Coit tower from the road below. I feel great! Last year at this time I was 25# heavier, at The Grand Canyon, swollen right knee, fatigue, uncomfortable/embarrased about how I looked. I will turn 50 tomorrow and feel better than I have in a number of years. This is the first vacation I won't gain weight on and will probably actually lose weight!

I have enjoyed small amounts of the different foods with my husband and son. I carry a Protein drink and bar in my packback for extra nourishment when there aren't great choices available. No sour dough bread for me, lol!

I just wanted to share my happiness...

congratulations! So excited for you! I know the feeling. I am only 3 weeks out today and am enjoying life so much more already! I am down 15lbs since surgery day and down 28lbs since pre op diet. I feel fantastic. I have 82lbs to go to goal but you know the journey so far has been a good one. Congratulations again and good job for keeping protein shakes and bars with you!
