happy one year to me

it has been a long journey so far, many fills,one unfill and still I have lost 45 lbs.
At first I was disappointed with the amount that I hadn't lost but then I realized how far I had come both mentally and physically and wow... how cool the band really is. I am at 205, I walk 3 miles 3 days a week, I do cardio kickboxing 3 days a week and I love it. I didn't start out thinking I would be a size 2 and still don't have any expectations of that however maybe a nice size 8.
Next year is time to really rock the band.. I finally think I am at the sweet spot with my band...
and the journey continues... thanks everyone here for all the support and encouragement... OH rocks...

Congrats to a healthier you on your one year bandiversary!!!!!

Congratulations on loosing 45lbs, that's great.  How many ccs do you have in your band?  I have 5ccs and really don't feel any different than before I had my surgery.  I get so discouraged sometimes...

I have 5 cc's as well and am going back for my one year next week.  I know that I have not done what needs to be done my self... I love wine...love love love wine.  I must give up wine... must give it up... yep that is what I need to do however.... thinking I probably should just excersise more instead  lol
I will take this coming year more seriously.  
don't give up... we can do this.  stay on OH and we will help each other.

Carol hope you can make it to the Atl. WLS Meet & Greet!

Congrats on your 1 year.

Sometimes the things we learn are more important then the number on the scale. Granted I'm sure we would all like to be 120 and some get there and some get there faster with other surgeries. But I like the mental journey I have ventured, I like having to face real obstacles in my life in regards to food.. because if I don't take care of them or really face them they will only continue to harm me in the future.. WLS sugery is not in our brain at least not the band isn't LOL

So we still have to fight evil food demons and emotional roller coaster in life. Just think when is the last time you felt this good!! I'm sure it's been awhile... savor the moment.

Thanks. Lizette
