I never thought I'd hear myself say "I don't want to lose anymore". I've been dieting off and on for 40 years. It's always been feast or famine for me. I, like most here, have tried every diet and weight loss program created, even created a few of my own. I don't have a bikini body, but I'm very happy with what I've managed to accomplish with the help of the band. I'm more active and healthier than I've been in a very long time.

Whats more, I'm noticing that people don't remember the bigger version of me. My son made the comment the other day to his wife that there's no way I ever was large, He just can't remember that. It's only been a year, lol. I see myself in the mirror and am no longer surprised. I'm adjusting. I saw my surgeon on Thursday and we actually discussed what I can do instead of what I shouldn't do. We are both very pleased with my progress. Now on to the maintenance phase. Just wanted to share my reaching GOAL BABY!!!!!
