Banded 6 months...NSVs!

[ZinniaMT 182]

1. Blood sugar is EXCELLENT!

2. Reduced diabetes meds...less expensive meds:)

3. Cholesterol ALMOST normal

4. Wearing 18W pants (used to squeeze into a 28 at my highest)

5. 14W dress!!!

6. Love crossing my legs

7. Can paint my own toes without suffering oxygen deprivation!!!

8. Comfortable in theatre seats

9. Holding my 3 year old son on my hip and feeling him wrap his legs around me... Wasn't possible with a big round belly, didn't have the "shelf" of my hip to sit on, if that makes since

10. I don't mind having my picture taken one bit

11. Renewed self confidence

12. Improved sleep

13. sleep through the night without needing to get up to pee

14. Less aches and pains

15. Learning to jog

16. Working out at gym without feeling so self-conscious

17. Love the feeling of putting my self and my health first, knowing it will ultimately make me a better person, wife, and mother

18. Bedroom...bow chica wow wow;) lol

19. High heels don't hurt anymore!

20. I had to buy a cheapo fake wedding set since my real one is too big. I will have it sized when I reach my goal!

I could go on and on but I will stop!

Thanks for letting me share. This forum is a great place to share with others who understand and won't interpret this list as arrogant! I thank God everyday for the lapband and the opportunity to have the surgery.

I hope this post will encourage others to push through the difficult days of the journey!

Congrats on your success.

My current NSV's favorites include

"ONE SIZE FITS MOST INCLUDES ME"

Going up and down stairs without worrying if I forgot something downstairs.

Picking things off the floor without getting on my knees.
