JUST AN UPDATE
Apr 03, 2009
It has been a long while since I posted. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, but I have to take credit for that. I haven't exerised much in the last two weeks, but I have been really busy. We just finished a revival at church (Go Riddels!!!), so maybe I can get in the groove again. A couple of weeks ago, I went to Walmart and bought bikes for me and Mark. The old saying is so true, "It's just like riding a bike" . It all came back naturally. Now, I sure don't remember my knees getting so sore 30 years ago when I rode.....I still get that same wonderful feeling of freedom when I am riding. I MUST get back to my Wii Fit also. It will fuss at me when I do.
I have had a total weight loss of 140 lbs (71 pre-op and 69 post-op). I have started being very open about my surgery, just got tired of trying to explain the great weight loss without mentioning the LapBand. There is only one thing I hate about everyone knowing. Before people knew I had LapBand surgery, they complimented me all of the time. "You look so good" "I am so proud of you" "I wish I had your will power." Now, all of the sudden, those same people never say anything to me about my weight loss. I am talking about people who mentioned it every single time they saw me. OH WELL!!!
