So March 10th made for three years since my lap-band surgery. I was a little depressed because its been 3 years and I still wasn't where i wanted to be. With that said i was looking through my "fat" pictures and couldn't believe the difference and can now say I am proud of where I am. Everyday is a battle and Im thankful I had my surgery because i couldn't do it alone.
I still have about 40 pounds to go before I reach my goal and Im a work in progress =) I recently moved wayyyy across the country and didn't take the time to look at what I was shoving in my face and needless to say I gained 10 pounds....yay for me lol. I took myself back to pre-op and those few weeks after surgery when I was on those beloved protein shakes and liquids and and started a food journal and in 2 weeks I lost 11 pounds.
I've decided after 3 years Im not going to let food get in my way again and I have been blessed with being able to get the band and the rest is up to me. So my goal this year is to lose the rest.
