Looking back at my blog, one of the things that I had on my "list" was LOSE WEIGHT.
I did have my lap band surgery on November 17th. It went very well and I am pleased with the results.
I have lost 40 pounds as of today. Seven weeks since the surgery and two weeks of very restricted diet before. That is almost 4 and a half pounds a week. During Christmas and Thanksgiving. SWEET!
Nope, I am not posting any fab before and after pics 'cause we are definately not "after."
Maybe just sort of barely started, actually.
Lap Band was a big decision for me. I really felt for years that with God's help I could lose the weight. But as my diabetes got worse and I felt more and more tired, I finally realized that maybe God was telling me that Lap Band was the help that I was looking for.
It hasn't been easy, but it has changed my relationship with food. Eating is just something I do now {at least most of the time} and not entertainment or comfort. I hope that with God's help I can completely change the destructive relationship that I had with food into a simple "Eating to Live" attitude.
Yay Michelle!
