FridayI had some friends over for a day at the pool. My day started off with me cleaning my house and getting things ready for them to come over. That included replanting a tree and some other heavy lifting type things. I cooked dinner that night for all of us. OK, so what was my non-scale victory? Well, in the past, my back would have been absolutely killing me by the end of the day. I was in a minor car accident a few years ago that did a number on my back. :thumbup: Several months ago, I would have been taking pain medicine and muscle relaxers just to get to sleep after a day like that. The pain would have been all over my face. But, I realized by the end of the night Friday that I was 100% pain free! I love my band!

This is fabulous! Congrats! These are the things that make the band so worth it. I've spent the weekend riding my bike, running and playing with my doctor and feeling great. Be well.

I too have back pain and it is so much better since I have lost some weight. I have 3 ruptured discs in the lumbar spine. This is one of the major reasons I decided to have this surgery. That and my blood pressure. I am off my meds now and back feeling better. WOO HOO!!!

Aimlagana, you must have a good relationship with your Doctor....

Good for you Perky! Back pain is the worst...if your foot hurts, the rest of your body doesn't hurt. When your back hurts, it seems to impact your entire body. So, I know you completely understand how big of a victory it is since you are experiencing it too! You should be very proud of yourself. That is fantastic that you are off of BP meds!

YAY! I LOVE NSV's! Good for you and keep up the GREAT work! :thumbup:

I am so happy for you! NSV are the greatest! (although the scale doesn't lie)

here's hoping for many more!

Congrats on the NSV.

I was thinking the same thing about aimlagana being REALLY close to her doctor. LOL

I can be so simple at times! I meant my DAUGHTER. Like my doc but have no interest in being that close with someone that has seen what my insides look like.

I thought dang this lady is playing with her Doctor. You go girl...lol Thanks for the laugh, I needed that...
