Thanks Keela and all of U

Thanks for making a girl feel special, and without all you guys here I  might have given up or gotten depressed about this whole process a long time ago.  Even tho you all have lost your weight like wild fires, I still feel the love and understanding.  There were a few times I had a little temper tantrum and needed to regroup but I'm just lucky to have the opportunity to have the band, and I realize that.  At this point in time, without it, I might have gainned another 50 lbs, and instead, whoo hooo, i'm down 33 lbs. in less then one year.  (sounds silly and small) but, I am very happy.  I need to work it a little more, but now with my good restriction, doing Atkins, exercising (on good days) I feel this is finally start working a little better.  Enough about me,  Love and HUgs to all of you, i'm so proud of all of you,  oh, and ME TOO !!!! 

33 pounds is a lot. i remember how i felt around that time and it was great. slow and steady wins the race. hopefully you won't have the lose skin like i have.

Oh  wow  Cheryl  you have done great.  When i was going thru  the lapband program   we were told we would only lose 30 to 40 pounds a year if that.

So  you are doing great!!!!   Hope you have a great  day and a wonderful year.
