In the past year, my cholesterol has dropped 34 points, my triglycerides plunged a whopping 114 points, my blood sugar dropped 6 points, and my blood pressure is 120/75. I got rid of 10 pounds of fat in the past 3 months and 2 inches are GONE from my waist.

My pants that were once my sausage pants (you know, so tight basically like sausage casings for your thighs) are loose and comfortable. My shirts are getting baggy and my bra doesn't fill up like it used to.

I am loving my lap band

Congratulations. I remember when my clothes started getting baggy. I was so excited. I remember when I had to go shopping for new clothes because they didn't fit anymore. It was the first time in about 15-20 years that I shopped and didn't end up crying. I was so excited and proud of myself. So again, Congratulations! and keep up the great work.

May this be just the beginning of a great, fun life change for you.

Please keep posting.

I like to see progress in working with the band...

Ps. My take on this:

Don't fight it. Just relax and go with your dr.'s program and wonderful things happen[emoji471]
