Hi All!
Yesterday my husband surprised me by booking us a guided kayak trip! It was AMAZING! Best parts were:
1. I could fit into a "normal" sized life jacket
2. I had no problems climbing in and out of my kayak
3. (the best part) I kayaked for 4 hours straight!

What a revelation to be able to do one thing I've been wanting to do that I couldn't do when I weighed 275 lbs. With the help of my lap band I have been given a second chance in life to do things I never thought I'd be able to do.

Woohoo! You go girl! Awesome NSV. no more clothes with X's in them. ....well,unless it's X-SMALL. I had to buy a bathing suit for a pool party we are going to tomorrow and it felt so gratifying to just pick a suit off the rack that wasn't labeled Plus sized. I am so grateful for my band as well.

It is so simple and relaxing. Being out in the water with nature is awesome! I hope you get to go soon, Sue!

That is AWESOME, Jo! Way to go! I am still in a 2X "up top" because of my big ta-ta's. (For some reason, I don't seem to be losing there.) But I am a size 16/18 on the bottom. Still a great change from 22/24! Keep up the good work!

I agree, Mary! I wish we had a truck with a hitch so we could get buy our own kayaks also. Maybe some day!
