I've done a blogpost on my Lapband Chronicles blog (link in my signature) for those interested in more than the pics.

Thank you all for being my ever-present support group. I give all of you credit for my transformation, as you all keep me motivated, educated and you continue to show me that what I've always wanted---to eat like a normal slim person--is indeed possible.

Congrats on your 1 year bandiversary. You are looking good!
