one year update
Well, it has been 1 year. I can't believe it! I am soooooo glad I did this. Having the Lap-Band is everything I wanted it to be, an amazing tool. I feel very lucky. I want to thank my friends, family, my doctors and all of the wonderful people I have met through the message support boards. My Non Scale Victories are piling up and this next year I hope to cross them all off my list. The big ones gone are: crossing my legs, fitting in an airplane seat, no extender needed, Getting ready in the morning and not feeling like I need a nap afterwards, Going from a 4x/5x TO A SOLID 1x. No more Diabetes, My depression has subsided for now and I am grateful. I have true hope for my future. The scale victory is a good one too. I have lost 121 pounds and 19 BMI points this year and am confident I will get off the 55 more I have to go. This journey takes a lot of work physically, emotionally and spiritually, but isn't that what life is all about?
