Today makes 1 yr

[MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH 0]

1 yr ago 2day I had one of the most life changing operations. I had my band placed. This yr hasn't been the easiest I've seen. But it has been very rewarding. I have lost 80 something pounds. Sure I haven't lost as much as most people have, but I am very proud and excited about what I have lost. I have learned how to eat, what to eat, and what not to eat. I have learned to take my time while eating and have learned what can and will happen if I don't.

Last month I had to go in and have all the Fluid removed from my band. The last fill I had, well, we got it way to tight and I wouldn't call my doctor to have some removed. The pain of heartburn and the frustration of not being able to eat or when I'd eat it would come right back up got to much to bare so i finally gave in and made an appointment to have some Fluid removed. Little did I know that 3 months of being too tight really messed with me. My sugar was way to low, my vitiam level way extremely low. I ended up having to have a total unfill due to this. Nobodys fault but my own. I can only blame myself for not calling when I should have.

I have gained about 5 pounds of my weight back since last month. I am not downing myself for this. I know if I do, I will get depressed and end up gaining more. The good news is, I go in 2morrow to start my fill process all over again.

Yes, 1 yr. ago today, not only did I get my band, but my started my life all over again. I am happier than I have been in over 10 yrs., I feel better than I have in 10 yrs., and I look alot better than I have in 10 yrs..
