I can't wait to be were you guys are now and to feel the way you feel. Thanks, giftedtch <giftedtch > wrote: I just posted my 5th month comparison in the photo section for anyone who is interested. This has been an incredible journey. My original goal was to lose 40 pounds by mid-July but I surpassed that goal with little problems. I have had weeks of short-term plateaus but, for the most part, my weight loss has been remarkable. My band and I don't always get along...I've experienced the dreaded sliming and the even-worse PBing when I try to ignore my band so she keeps me on track most of the time. Sometimes she gets a little irritating because she refuses to let any solid food in but I am figuring out her pattern and am learning to try to work with her and come up with some sort of compromise. Overall, though, she is my BEST friend in the whole world! Everything just has to be done her way or she gets mad! :)If someone had told me one year ago that I would be where I am today, I wouldn't have believed them. I had pretty much resolved myself to the fact that I was going to live life as an obese person...you know, sitting back and watching others live...just an observer. Well, I refuse to let that happen anymore. Let me tell you about my summer!!I have traveled alot. I have gone from San Diego in May, New York in June, Washington D.C. in June (twice), Orange Beach, Alabama in July, Callaway Gardens (Georgia) in July,and Athens, Georgia in July. I have ridden horses, gone canoeing and kayaking (YES, in a boat!!!), swimming, to a water park (and did the slides for the first time!!!), hiking, hiking, and more hiking, and I have had the time of my life!!! My youngest son said it all...he said, "You would have never done this 60 pounds ago, Mom! Isn't it fun???" Through it all, I think what I have enjoyed the most is being outside. Before I lost all this weight, it was just too damn hot. Now, it doesn't bother me and living along the Gulf Coast is a scorcher! I get outside around 7:00 in the morning and, many days, I am outside until 9:00 at night (I manage our neighborhood swim club). I walk in the heat of the day and I am so thankful that I am able to get out there and do it that I basically ignore the heat. I could go on and on and on about how wonderful this journey has been for me but you would probably get bored. I will tell those of you thinking about doing this procedure, that unless you are willing for your entire life to change, don't do it. Unless you are willing to spend your hard-earned cash for clothes that you need along the way, don't do it. Unless you are willing to get up every morning and see a new face in the mirror, don't do it. Unless you are ready to share your joy through a new-found positive attitude, then, don't do it. Unless you are ready for a NEW YOU, DON'T DO IT! Because all of these things just scratch the surface! Everything changes...the outside AND the inside. As I always say,LIFE IS GREAT!!!Jenni CurrieDOB 2/13/06247(pre pre-op diet weight)/231(DOB)/174/1401st fill: 5/13/06 1.3ccsLost 62 inches LIFE IS GREAT!!! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I have posted a new photo comparison entitled A New giftedtch. My boys and I were goofing off with the camera and acting crazy. No, I don't make a habit of standing on our furniture but we were in rare form! That seems to happen more and more the more energetic I become! I am finally learning where my youngest son inherited his hyperactivity! My hyperactivity was just being smothered by fat before!!! lol Oh yeah, Life is GREAT!
