| How Life Changes
Hello -
I havn't been here in at least 6 months -crazy life. I've been banded now for just over a year and have lost almost 60 pounds.
For some of the folks that have been around for awhile they know my husband has been gone since about 2 weeks after my surgery. (Although he did get leave in Feb). I feel as though he'll be coming home to a whole new wife. Even though I've still not reached my goal (got another 40lbs or so) my entire life / attitude / confidence is completely different. I've actually started becoming a little cocky (imagine that!!).
My children and I recently took a month long vacation and visited many relatives that I havn't seen in years or have never met before. Most of the places we visited were up north so of course there were many STAIRS which I managed with NO problems at all. We went to a couple of theme parks (I fit in the seats) we toured DC, Philly, Detroit, went hiking, and even CAVING with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
For those of you who are scared or questioning whether or not you should have the band - I too, was FREAKED OUT - WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO TO MYSELF? The scars? The pain? The problems? The food? If I had to do it all over again, I would - IN A SECOND.
