My Journey so far

Hey Y'all,  

Feels a little self indulgent, but I remember when I was just starting how encourgaed I was when folks who had success came on to show some results.. always made me feel like this was possible.  So in that light, I wanted to pass along my latest montage documenting my lap band journey!   

Finished up my marathon last fall, and my first duathlon, currently training hard for a half ironman in May, and the full iron man in August.  Had my surgery in Aug 09, and strangely enough, I really have had no actual lap band related issues, other than a few uncomfortable sticks now and then, and for a while I was having some pain around my port, but we narrowed it down to just working the abs a bit too hard.  

So please enjoy and please know you can do this.  Keep focused!!!!!!!!

 You should cross-post this to the Main Board, as well, since so many people there believe there are few, or no, lapband successes.

 ok, done.. might be might first post there ever :)

 See? It's not so scary. Just don't take any sh*t from anyone!!!

Not self indulgent at all.  More newbies need to hear from successful bandsters.  Gosh I wish I had some of your energy.

what amazing video !!!!  You have came so far and like Evil Twin I wish I had that energy to do what you do .

Keep up the awesome work I really enjoyed watching your journey it was beautiful and amazing at the same time !!!

Well gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for posting this.  I've lost 90 pounds in eight months with my band, and I have been doing 5ks, and I have my first 10k coming up.  Thanks again, and great job!  I LOVE that there are people out there already doing what I want to do.  It can be done! It helps get me through the rough patches.
