You would be so different when your hubby get back For Hood have great Gym's for free, use them . Take all your vitamins, proteins and water . Have fun in the road. Hugs from Germany Vanessa; Proud army wife

What part of Germany are you in. When I was 15 I stayed in Asfenburg ( Iknow I spelled that wrong) with my sister and her husband. I remember how beautiful it was. Well I wish you and your kids well I know it is hard to be away from your husband. Good luck and God Bless. Ree

I am in Wiesbaden. Thanks for the nice wish. Vanessa

Mandy, First of all WELCOME!!!! This board is slow most of the time but it still is a good place to come be with other military families. Congratulations on your WLS!! I am alittle over 11 months out and I feel great! This has been the best decision that I have ever made. Your husband will be so shocked at how you look the next time he sees you. Just remember though to do everything your doctor tells you and you will do just fine. If I can help you in any way just let me know. Good luck and Welcome aboard!!
