gordonfamily3 0 Posted June 15, 2006 Ok so yesterday I made my one year mark...and what a year it's been. I have met some wonderful new friends that have just filled my life w/ joy and happiness. Thanks to you my banded/RNY friends. :cool: The past year has been great for me: I have lost 85 pounds (which is my son time 2 1/2 YIKES). I was barely in a 26/28 and now I fit well in an 18/20. When I took my first plane ride I didn't need a seat belt extender. I can cross my legs. I can see my collar bone. I don't drive around looking for a parking spot, I just park and walk. I have a lot more energy. My wedding rings are way to big for me. (Thank goodness for ring gaurds). I eat off the kids menu or split my meals w/ someone. I actually dry my clothes now. I don't drink with my meals. Wachovia laid me off and I was giving a great new job that I love. I am sure there are others...but these are the ones that stick out the most. I have posted pics on the before and after thread - it's on page 51. Check it out. Of course you all see me but I can tell a big difference and I can't wait to see what the next year brings. Thanks to you all for always being there for me and listening when I need someone. Thanks for your support and guidance becuase of you all I have been more successful then going at this alone. Love you all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
