Onderland
Jul 09, 2009
Today it finally happened. I hit the Onderland and it feels great. What an amazing journey this has been so far. I feel so much better. I have more energy and find that I am enjoying life more then I ever thought I could. I find myself smiling for no reason sometimes! I can cross my legs, ride a bike without feeling like I am about to keel over, sit indian style (something I haven't done for awhile) and so many other things that I can't even begin to mention. I have such wonderful support from my family and friends. They are all so awesome! As of today I have lost 69.5 and I am over half way to my goal now.

Update
Jun 25, 2009
Well it has been awhile since I have posted. It has been an amazing 4 months for me. I have lost 58 pounds and over 20 inches so far. I bought a pair of size 14 shorts yesterday!!!! At the time of the surgery I was wearing size 22. Last week I took five bags of clothing to a charity. I am feeling great. People are really starting to notice the weight loss. I have more energy and feel so much better. This past week I hit a plateau on the scale but that is ok cause I think my body is just taking a break!!!

I'm Banded!!
Feb 21, 2009
Well I did it. The day went longer then anticipated. The doctor was running behind on other surgeries so I didn't get in at my scheduled time. Once I did get in they found I had a hiemal hernia that needed to be repaired so my surgery took longer then expected. I finall got home around 7:30 pm. I am sore and tired but I know I am now finally on the road to a healthier life.

Today's the Day!
Feb 19, 2009
I am scheduled to be banded at Noon today. I am scared and excited. It has been over a year since I started the journey towards this day. I am very lucky to have a husband and family who really supports me in this. They have watched me over the years struggle to lose the weight and become healthy. I know the thin, healthy me is just waiting to get out.

Preop
Feb 09, 2009
Well today I saw the doctor for my preop visit. It sometimes doesn't seem real. I have been working at having this done for over a year and now it almost here. I started the liquid preop diet last Friday and I have lost 8 pounds as of this morning. Everything is a go for February 20th.
