I am 3 months out and I have had 2 fills 1st fill 3cc 2nd 1.5 cc. I am really tight now and am giving it w aweek to see if it will lossen a little. i have lost around 35 since surgery. Its taken a while and I have to work at it by walking 2 miles anight . But its worth it. Dont give up my husband made an observation my largets wieght was 2 years ago at 320 pounds and since xmas  i was back up to 300 he said to me do you know that you have lost  83 lbs in the last year. that i am almost to 100 pounds lost which was one of my goals. I cant believ it. With hard work and the band this will happen for me. Hopefully I will beable to live a long healthy life now. Please to all that might read keep working it will happen.  

7 weeks post op and people are seing a differnce in me .. Socially I a more out going and I dress better . I feel good about myself and  and just feel GOOD. the wieght is going off about 20 pounds since surgery 53 since the journey started. This has been the best thing that I could of decided to do for me. I hopefully have givin myself another 20 yeras of life instead of knocking off 20 years. I am that butterfly that has just started opening her cacoon. I  hope other people with wl issues can be as happy as I am today with my choice. Food is not  something I think about like a drug anymore. It a substance that I need for energy.I know this journey is far from over it is just become. I have my first fill on friday the 11 and  am nervous ,scared, shaking in my boots but it just another step forward to sucess.

Met my Dr today he is wonderful he is very excited about doing the surgery and said I  will have sucess. I am starting my pre op diet tomarrow ad I am going at it full force. He has me aon a diet that is less 600 calories a day for 2 weeks we will see I will probly be a rage nut case. I am on the road to the new me a butterfly.

Today I was out with the nieghboors and we were all talking and  one of the ladies said you have been getting alot of compliments and I replied "what do you mean?" about the new puppy and she said No about you saying how pretty you are i was floored i didnt know what to say back to her I was like really thanks. I have been rarlly been called pretty unless it was my husband. I cant wait till I am skinny what will people say!!!!!! hahahah hopefully they wont relize its me that would  be a treat if a person has to do a double take. wishful thinking. 

My surgery is supossed to me May 15 as long as all goes well. I have just bought a new night gown and slippers incase I have to spend the night in the hospital. Surgery is first thing un the morning. I am nervous of the unknown but excited of the new possiblities. I cant wait to buy scrubs for work that are not a size 4x top and 3x bottoms I can buy all the cute scrubs  and they will be cheaper to. ingeneral clothes will be cheaper. wil be able to but a pair of jeans at walmart or target for 15 dollars insteard of 50.oo at avenue plus size store.

        I have been thinking about it for 2 years now and came to a decsion that this would be the best thing for me and my family. I am tired of people making fun of the way I look even though I have lost 65 pounds on a weight loss program 2 years ago In the last year I have slowly put it back on 20 lbs. I have a very suporting family and husband who just wants me to happy.
