One Year Post Op

Nov 03, 2010

Hi everyone! Well I made it through one year with my lap band!  Woohoo!  I saw my surgeon in Federal Way, Washington October 25th, had an Egd and barium swallow and my lap band is doing good.  I do have Barrett's Esophagus, but minor, just have to keep tabs on that.  Dr. Srikanth and Tina the nurse practitioner seemed real please with my weight loss.  On their scale I was down to 189, my scale at home 185~! I liked my numbers better!  So needless to say I'm happy with my weight loss.  I am in about a size 14, regular, and loving it.  My goal is 170 lbs, so I am getting close.  I didn't need another fill, so I haven't had a fill since February, 2010.  But I'm eating what I want, healthy foods that is, some complex carbs and weighing and measuring all my protein.  I love that i can eat salad and veggies...so that is part of my diet everyday.  I hope once I hit my goal that I learn how to maintain the weight, but I just need to keep doing what I'm doing now to be successful at it.  I also log my daily intake every day.  That keeps my honest!  I will need to post a current picture one of these days.  But I have to say, I love the increased energy, and just over all feel great!  My total weight loss as of this date is about 171 or so.  I can't believe it, but I'm happy to have it gone!  Well I could go on forever, but it's getting late and I still need to get some more water in before I go to bed...just wanted to share a little.
