Oh Geez! I have been looking forward to this day & then I forgot!! Thanks ladies!! Tell y'all about my year? Where do I begin? I'll make this as short as possible. First of all, I went into this expecting to lose all my weight in the first year. Wrong!! But that's okay! I have lost 58 lbs. that will never come back again! I feel great! I'm looking a lot better & my self-esteem is getting there. I believe part of the reason I lost slow was due to my port flipping & not being able to get a fill for a few months. By then I had become depressed & was binge eating. I had no restriction what so ever! By the time I was able to get a fill & have a little restriction, my bad attitude had already set in. I can honestly say that if it had not been for you guy's support & advice (especially the turtle tribe), I probably would have been a banded failure. But in the last 4-5 months I have finally got my head back in a good place & with the help of 2 good fills, I am finally losing the weight that I expected to lose in the beginning. I am under 300 lbs. & I am working to get to my next mini goal of 250 lbs. I have come to appreciate the fact that I did not put this weight on over night & I will not lose it over night! My little silicone friend is here to help me do this.

Thanks to everyone for being there when I needed you!

You all ROCK!!!

Yep Vines, that's a great idea! What a better way to honor my 1 year Bandiversary than with my top ten NSVs! So, here it goes......

1. Sex has never been better! & it just keeps getting better!

2. I can paint my own toenails again!

3. I can wear jeans again!

4. When I look in the mirror, I look different to myself (I just noticed this today)!

5.I have cut my BP meds in half. I need to get in to see my doc cause I think I could probably come off of them now. (I promise I am monitoring it myself. I won't let it get too low!)

6. When we took a trip to Branson before Christmas, I was the only one who was able to climb all the stairs at the Branson Belle without stopping & without getting out of breath!

7. At Christmas my little cousin proclaimed that "Jessie now has a lap" cause she was sitting on it!

8. When I went for my last fill, I had room on both sides of me on the gurney!

9. When I take a bath, I now have Water all the way around me!

10. I have lost 12.25 inches from head to toes since January 5, 2006. I really wish I had been keeping track of this since the very beginning. I'm gonna have to dig around cause I think I took some measurements before the surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
