3rd YEAR OUT

Jul 02, 2010

Hi everybody,
It's my third anniversary since getting the lap band so I wanted to update you on my journey.  Since last year, I've maintained my weight.  I haven't lost nor have I gained.  All year I fluctuated 5 to 7 lbs.   I still consider this a success because before my WLS I would have gained most of it back by now. 
I still want to lose 30 lbs and I will do it.  I still see the lap band doctor and get fills about every 3 months.  I drink alcohol so that slows my weight loss efforts.  I've been exercising sporadically, not faithfully like I did last year.  
I still am healthy.  I'm on no meds, all my numbers are normal.  (blood pressure, sugar, liver enzymes, triglicerides, etc)
I just have knee pain when walking up steps.   I got that checked out and they say I'm fine so I figure if I lose a few more pounds and step up the exercise, the pain will get better. 

I'm going to Obesity Helps conference in Cincinnati in August.  I'm so looking forward to it.  I'm going to model a swimsuit!!!
That should be fun!!!  

I finally got the money to have my adominoplasty done.  I plan to have it in November.  I can't wait!!!

To all of you  new comers, just keep the faith, believe in yourself, and the weight will come off.  See my last year's post for more details......

thanks everybody and good luck in your weight loss journey

Queen Deneen
