Living Beyond the Band

I cannot believe that it has been a year already!  My how time flies when you are healthy and living your life to the fullest.  My blog has been taking a back seat to life, I have so much energy that I do not have time to sit and write about what I have been up to.  In the past year I have made it to my goal of a Normal BMI which for my height is 141 pounds.  I am actually below that right now and would like to get down to 135.  I am now into a size 6 jeans for everyday wear, but can get into a size 4.  As for eating, I can comfortably eat about 3 oz of solid protein per meal, with about 1 oz of veggies (sometimes).  I can eat about a cup of soup, about 1/2 cup of yogurt, a piece of toast, 1/4 of a bagel, and lots of stuff I really shouldn't eat.  The best thing about the sleeve is that I NEVER throw up, as I did with the band.  I never get sick either, I love my sleeve.  It is such an amazing tool as opposed to the horrible experience that I had with the Band.

Life is good now, the kids are getting older and we are having fun!  Amazing things happen when you are at a healthy weight and can move normally again.

Here is my before!
