Well on December 20, 2008 I hit 6 months of being banded. I have to say this was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I have lost 94 pounds as of today January 22,2008 and unfortunately I have been stuck here since the 17th of December. The holidays through me for a loop. My works hours increased and my salary decreased :ohmy: I found myself slipping into my old "fat" habits. I am in desperate need of a fill which I am scheduled for the 26th and it can't come soon enough. I am hoping this will give me the push I desperately need to finish this. I have a little over 45 pounds left to go until I reach goal. I can almost taste it. :thumbup: I love how my body feels now.. this is embaressing but I love to lie in bed and feel my bones. I didn't realize they had been missing all those years. It feels so good to know I am no longer morbidly obese and people actually see me now. I get comments from men and I love it even though I am really committed to my hubby. So that is my first blog and I hope to keep it up!

I came across your profile while reading the what did you eat today thread. I just wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration to me.

I am newly banded (only about 9 days now) and I was starting to get discouraged by all the people who has lost only 20-30lbs in a years time.

You have done an amazing job with your weight loss. I can only strive to be as successful as you are.
