Well I finally hit that 100lb mark. I'm still not in Onederland yet but I only have 5 pounds to go before I am under 200. I can't wait. I haven't been under 200 since 1987. I have 18lbs to go until the doctors goal but my secret goal is 28lbs. I have to admit the attention I get is pretty awesome. It feels good to be praised for something in your life. I am very proud of myself. And I haven't felt good like this for a very long time. I will update my pictures soon.
It's great not losing your breath all of the time. Or your chest tightening up on you when you walk. Not to mention your knees free of pain and actually being able to walk up stairs. Not to mention being able to make it to the bathroom without having an accident because your so fat that it pushes down onto your bladder (LOL sorry to be so animated).
People ask me all the time how I lost the weight in such short time. I tell them DETERMINATION. The lapband is all about what you put into it. If you work hard, your weight will come off. My determination is the will to survive. I don't want to be one of the obesity statistics. Also you can not judge yourself by others. Everyone loses at different paces. Just because you haven't lost as much as me, doesn't mean you won't get there.It's great not losing your breath all of the time. Or your chest tightening up on you when you walk.

Tomorrow I visit my cardiologist for my 6 month check up. I will be getting an echo, ekg and visiting the cardiologist after. I'm hoping he will give me some good news. I'm not having any symptoms. Hopefully I have prolonged my next open heart surgery for awhile.
