“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

It all began with unconditional love—a powerful love that conquered death, sickness, poverty and every other form of lack that fell under the curse! Jesus’ life, death and resurrection opened a door for all who would receive Him as Lord and Savior. He made the way for us to walk in love, live by faith, have an intimate relationship with the Father and live in THE BLESSING!

This week, as we celebrate our beloved Savior’s resurrection, thank Him for filling you with the power to live victoriously. Jesus is alive and well, and He has passed His love to you. He has great things planned for us in this Year of Fullness of THE BLESSING—THE BLESSING Without Measure!

God bless you, and remember…JESUS IS LORD!

My second fill went GREAT!!!  He added .5cc to my band (total 4.5 cc).  I knew I didn't need much!  I still had pretty good restriction.  I'm doing great with it and I've upped my exercise a little bit.  I'm now walking and jogging, yes I said JOGGING!!LOL  Not for long periods, but still JOGGING!!!!!  I've read studies where when you workout at a moderate pace and add short bursts of intense exercise, you lose weight A LOT quicker and lose A LOT more fat around your belly and thighs!!!  HECK YEAH!!!  I can use that!!!LOL  Everytime I go for my fill I pray that the Dr will put in the "perfect" amount!! I need the perfect amount everytime because of my 5 hour drive!  I can not easily drive back to the Dr for an unfill!  I hope you all are doing GREAT!  BE BLESSED!!  HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My insurance is the best!!!!!!!!!  I just called to see how much of my 1st fill was covered by insurance.....100%!!!!!!!!!  THANK YOU, GOD!!!!!  Things are going great!!!  I have some days better than others.  I had a taco salad from Taco Bell, today, thinking I was being "good" by eating a salad and NOT the fried bowl it came in....NOT.....over 400 calories, even without the bowl!  I could have done better by just eating at home!
I go for my second fill on Tues March 4th!!!  Looking forward to it and looking forward to see how much I've "offically" lost since my last visit .  Doing well with exercise.  I try to get at least 35 minutes a day, 6 days a week.  Each day I either walk for an hour, jump on the trampoline, elliptical, or gazelle for 30-35 minutes.  Hope you all are doing GREAT!  Be BLESSED!!!

My second fill is scheduled for March 4th!!!  Everything is moving along well!!  Haven't had any trouble with the band and eating, although it really lets me know when I'm eating to fast and not chewing enough!!  I'm trying to get in as much exercise as I can to help reach my goal for Disney.  I'm also trying to take full advantage of this whole weighing more and exercise thing!!!  The more you weight when you exercise, the more calories you burn.  I'll keep you posted on my next fill.  It will be here before you know it!!

We had an OH get together at Bean's in J'ville Monday night!!  Had a great time with a bunch of awesome ladies!!    Those meetings do a world of good for us!! 

My little peanut has finally started walking!!   I have updated some pics of the kiddies!  Hope you all are doing GREAT!!!

My fill went great!  He added 1 cc to my band.  I had 3cc at surgery, so I have 4cc all together.  Everything went great!  I hate this clear liquid diet thing!!  I'd eat tree bark if they said it was ok!;)  I have to stay on clear liquids today and tomorrow.  Hope you are doing great!  OH, YEAH!!!  Lost a total of 27 pounds!!
Andrea

I am soooo ready for my fill!!!  I know I'm eating too much and I don't like it!!  You would think I would just eat less, wouldn't you??LOL  I guess if that were the case, I wouldn't need this band!  I'll post how it goes!  I pray that my dr. puts in the exact right amount for me!!  NO UNFILLS!!!!  I'll also get an official weightloss since Jan 14th.  I can't wait to move my ticker!!!!!!!!!  I'll keep you updated!

My birthday is tomorrow, Jan 28th, and I have my 1st fill on Monday, Feb 4th!!  I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost since my last appt!  I definitely feel as though I need a fill.  The weight is coming off slowly.  I feel as though I'm able to eat too much at dinner time.  I've been either walking or doing the elliptical for at least 35 min a day.  Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!! 
Love, Andrea

I had my post op appt. today!!  I lost 19.2 lbs since Christmas Day!!!!!  They said that is really great for lapband, but don't expect to continue to lose weight that fast.  I'm so happy!!  I'm hoping to lose 10 more by my next appt on Feb 4th!  Thank you all for all your prayers!!
