I really enjoyed the support meeting on Saturday - it was great catching up with everyone who came!
Everyone was happy with their progress and all of us said we would do the procedure again and that we had all made the right decision for ourselves to have the WLS.
The meeting has motivated me "to come out of the closet" regarding my lap band - kind of scary but it was said that I might be able to help someone by telling them about my experience. I know that what helped me decide to go ahead with the procedure was because I found out that Jessica "Island Bandit" was doing it and she was so good as to explain it all to me - and that gave me the courage to start my journey - thank you Jessica :)

Support meeting
I am happy to say that our group will be having a support meeting this Saturday - we haven't had one for over two months ! so I am excited to catch up with the other ladies and gents about what has been going on in their lives.
I jogged for two 2 minute intervals on the treadmill on Wednesday and my heart rate was 180 which is the heart rate of a 40 year old - how great is that - I am doing exercises that I never thought I could do - Dr. Patti is a fantastic trainer/nutritionist !!
Have a great week end everyone :)

September already
I cannot believe that it is September already.
Trying to become friends with my lapband and get into the "live your life after lapband" thing -.
I was just reading "Island Bandit" and now realize why my own lap band has been giving me a hard time - some days throwing up every thing and some days being 100% in harmony with the darn thing! I'll be glad when hurricane season is over!
I only lost 4 pounds during the month of August and I am determined to do better in September - I am hoping to be at 150 by Christmas day - which is another 12.5 pounds to go.
My original goal weight was 140 (so that I could could finally be a "normal weight" ) but now I am rethinking that - maybe 150 will be ok - I am wearing size 10 jeans and medium tops which means when I have lost another 12 pounds I will be at size 8 - wow! Maybe what I will do is maintain at 150 for a few months before I try to get to 140. Anyway, I'll see how I feel when I get to 150 (classed as "overweight) :(
