| 199!!! I Am In Onederland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
199!!! Wheww….sitting here kinda in a daze ….you go into this hoping that it is the right thing to do…and pretty soon you are losing 10, 20, 30 pounds and you are saying…wow..it is like a dream. I sit here with tears in my eyes…I am below 200 pounds for the first time since 1984, when I was 19 years old. I made so many broken promises to myself…you know the ones…when I get x weight, I am really going to start getting serious about losing weight and you just keep raising the limit until you get up to 270 pounds and at 5’1…I was looking pretty bad. I can say in all honesty that things are starting to turn around!
ffice:office" />
So here are all the good things that have happened since I got my miraculous band:
I lost 71 pounds so far in a little less than 6 months, as well as hitting that goal before my birthday, which is coming up this month.
I have lost 52 inches all over my body.
I now weigh less than my husband…now I am aiming to weigh less than my ex..I now know that is an achievable goal! I have 3 sizes and teetering on another. I feel better and my feet and ankles have stopped swelling. Although my feet are a little swollen today of course.
My sleep apnea is now almost non-existent.
Too many NSV’s to clog up this thread with.
I am listening to my band and paying attention to it more and more and working on listening to my head less and less when it comes to eating and hunger at least. Gosh I could go on and on.
Some negatives to balance out all this nauseating sweetness. ;-)
The hanging skin is downright ugly and a full body lift is in my future…no doubt.
I went from a 46D to a 45A..what the hell is up with that???
I still fight head-hunger everyday…I thought that after almost after 6 months..it would get easier…the battle continues.
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody on this board who has given me wonderful advice and suggestions since I joined this forum. Ya’ll have made the journey so much easier for me, than it would have been alone. I also want to thank my band buddy, Kira(Bridget) for all her support and advice. I saved the best for last, I also want to give a big hug and thank you to my DDH for standing by me through all of this and being my rock. Ok now on to the next big milestone!!! J Onederland rocks!!!!!

Congratulations! I can't believe you did that in a little under 6 months! That took A LOT of work on your part! Great job!
