Happy Bandiversary to you! Gosh, has it been a year already? All right, now tell us about your year!

Oh Geez! I have been looking forward to this day & then I forgot!! Thanks ladies!! Tell y'all about my year? Where do I begin? I'll make this as short as possible. First of all, I went into this expecting to lose all my weight in the first year. Wrong!! But that's okay! I have lost 58 lbs. that will never come back again! I feel great! I'm looking a lot better & my self-esteem is getting there. I believe part of the reason I lost slow was due to my port flipping & not being able to get a fill for a few months. By then I had become depressed & was binge eating. I had no restriction what so ever! By the time I was able to get a fill & have a little restriction, my bad attitude had already set in. I can honestly say that if it had not been for you guy's support & advice (especially the turtle tribe), I probably would have been a banded failure. But in the last 4-5 months I have finally got my head back in a good place & with the help of 2 good fills, I am finally losing the weight that I expected to lose in the beginning. I am under 300 lbs. & I am working to get to my next mini goal of 250 lbs. I have come to appreciate the fact that I did not put this weight on over night & I will not lose it over night! My little silicone friend is here to help me do this.

Thanks to everyone for being there when I needed you!

You all ROCK!!!

So, give us your top Ten NSVs for the year. (you knew I was going to ask this, how could I not?)

Yep Vines, that's a great idea! What a better way to honor my 1 year Bandiversary than with my top ten NSVs! So, here it goes......

1. Sex has never been better! & it just keeps getting better!

2. I can paint my own toenails again!

3. I can wear jeans again!

4. When I look in the mirror, I look different to myself (I just noticed this today)!

5.I have cut my BP meds in half. I need to get in to see my doc cause I think I could probably come off of them now. (I promise I am monitoring it myself. I won't let it get too low!)

6. When we took a trip to Branson before Christmas, I was the only one who was able to climb all the stairs at the Branson Belle without stopping & without getting out of breath!

7. At Christmas my little cousin proclaimed that "Jessie now has a lap" cause she was sitting on it!

8. When I went for my last fill, I had room on both sides of me on the gurney!

9. When I take a bath, I now have Water all the way around me!

10. I have lost 12.25 inches from head to toes since January 5, 2006. I really wish I had been keeping track of this since the very beginning. I'm gonna have to dig around cause I think I took some measurements before the surgery.
