Quick Update

[Jenn 27]

My 7 month surgiversary is coming up on Sept. 7 but I wanted to give a quick update on my progress so far. I was stalled for a few weeks but have started losing again. Because I started back to work (I'm a teacher so I have 8 weeks off in the summer), my workouts have decreased but for some reason, I am losing weight!! I think it's because I'm back into my "work" routine. During summer break I tend to eat out more often with friends but during work there isn't enough time to eat out so I have been bringing left-overs, making my own lunch or eating a Lean Cuisine. I am down 59 pounds - yup, 1 pound away from 60. I am a little behind where I set my goal but I am ecstatic with my progress!!!! I do still workout 3-4 times per week, usually walking for 1 hour a couple times and then I do a Zumba class for 1 hour a couple times per week also.

I will do a 7 month update on Sept. 7 and hopefully I'll be at -60!

Take care,

Jenn

It's great you're doing so well

Have you had any fills in your band at all? Do you feel any restriction from the band? I know it's probably hard to tell what's the band and what's the Plication, but I'm curious as to what you're impressions on this aspect are.

[Jenn 27]

Absolutely no fill in my band. I plan on never ever filling it. My restriction is much better with just the plication than it ever was with just the band. I would be afraid to get a fill because I think I would be too restricted!!

Jenn -

Way to go! You continue to be an inspiration to me.

I hope you continue to let us know how you're doing. It means a lot.

Jenn - congrats! I am sure 25 or so 5th graders are benefiting from their newly energized teacher. Your surgery is making a difference in your own life and their lives. Nice to hear!
