JUST AN UPDATE

Feb 01, 2009

Just need to update.  I haven't blogged since December.  Made it through Christmas and New Year's without much damage.  I am sure I have NEVER made it through those two holidays without gaining weight.  I have now lost a total of 127.4 pounds( 71 preop/56.4 post op) and I feel great.  When I first started this journey, I had a goal in mind that I thought I would be happy with.  Well, I am only about 28 pounds from that goal and I now know that I will not be happy there.  I will get there first, then I will rethink it and decide on a new goal. 
It is wonderful to go into a restaruant and not worry about sitting in a booth.  I can climb into the back seat of our van without worrying about how I am going to get out.  I actually enjoy working out on my Wii Fit, don't mind riding the exercise bike too much.  I am also thinking about getting a bike when the weather gets warmer.  I made it through a terrible week of being snowed/iced in without gourging on food.  Those are just a few of the NSV's I can think of right now, but there are many more.  I have never second guessed my decision to have lapband surgery (not even when I was sliming or stuck).  It was a very important decision that I made.
One of my major goals with this weight loss was to be able to sit comfortably in Roberts Stadium for my son's graduation from high school.  I haven't been there lately, but I am sure I have already met that goal and I still have over a year till he graduates.  One of my other goals is to be able to go to an amusement park and ride rides until I am done (or sick.)  I am hoping that I will be able to do that sometime this summer.  Overall, my life is blessed!!!!!!
