I have not blogged in a little while, so today is my day! I am excited as I have lost 27 lbs. at this point. :thumbup: My band was put on April 19th and tomorrow is 6 weeks plus my first fill. I know I need it, I can eat more than I was, so the restriction has lessened. I think I could have lost more, but 3 weeks ago today I fell and broke my ankle and my leg, :thumbup: so no walking or exercising going on. I'm hanging in there, staying positive, feeling and looking different.

Two days ago 5/28 my Dad had the lap-band surgery and I am so glad he did! He has been overweight throughout most of my life, lost and gained over and over. He is totally mentally ready for this and has supported me in the past 6 weeks through mine. I know he will do great. So for us, the fun of it all....the race is on! :tt2:

Also, I have started taking Mona Vie juice - 4 ounces a day. This stuff is fabulous. I have more energy, less joint pain, and my husband is incredible in the difference of himself from using it too. Have you heard of it or tried it? Ask me about it or how to get it as it is not in stores. I will never go without Mona Vie in my home or family again. It has 19 berries in it, all natural and no preservatives. A great enhancement vitamin wise for our weight loss programs!! Don't miss out on this easy way to take these nutrients in.

A lot has happened for me in six weeks, I pray that this all continues and the success for me is a healthier life and that I am able to feel stronger, better and breathe when walking again!
