As I look back at the year, I realize just how blessed I have been.For my parents who have always been loving and supportive, my husband who is my rock and made a withdrawl out of his 401k so that I may have a second chance at life(lap band surgery) My beautiful healthy children, for a home a job and most importantly to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who made all of this possible. I know without him I would have nothing and be nothing. On the 28th I will have my band for six months. This morning I am 199. Though not skinny by any stretch of the imagination, I thought I would never ever see the ONEDERLAND again. Now I vow to never be in the two hundreds again. Not just because of the way I felt but for my health. My bloodpressure meds have been cut in half. I feel better than I have in years, I had a fill last week of just one half a cc but I am now up to 8cc's in a 14 cc band. This weekend after just a few bites of my favorite foods, I was satisfied. I LOVE THIS BAND!! I love my new life. I have lost 59 pounds. Thanks to my new friends here in this support group, Thanks to my family for their love and support and thank you God for loving me enough to send your son.God bless all and Happy Thanksgiving.
