Sooooo... Today is my One year Bandiversary! A year ago right now I was fresh out of surgery and on my way to a new improved healthier me! Making the decision to get the lapband was a huge life changing decision that I did not make lightly. After much research and praying and asking my mom for guidence I decided it was something I had to do. The past year has been a whirl wind and I'm very happy with my results so far.
As of this morning I'm 77 pounds lighter and at the halfway point of my weight loss. I'm still shocked everytime I step on the scale. It's amazing.
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the support you've given to me during my journey to skinnyville. I'd imagine it would have been a whole lot easier without having lost my mom and going through this endless grief but I'm doing it and I know she's with me still being my biggest cheerleader! THANKS MOM! I LOVE YOU!
I appreciate the motivation and listening to me whine about food and groan when I've been eating too much and complain when my food gets stuck... ick!
Thanks so much!!!
PS...I'll post better pictures later. I didn't think about taking them last night so my afters are taken with my cell phone and are almost as bad as the before!!!
