Welcome to Onederland!

In the lapband world, there is something called "Onederland". This means that you no longer weigh over 200 pounds, but your weight starts with a "one". This is a huge milestone and I have obtained it! Over the weekend, the scale dropped quickly from 203 to 197! What a since of accomplishment.

Another feeling of accomplishment, is that I bought a pair of jeans yesterday that is more than two sizes smaller than my "fat" jeans. I use to wear a 18W size jean and the new pair was 14 - short. YES!

I am feeling great. Meals are going better and I have gotten better about chewing. Occasionally I will eat something that irritates the lapband and it will be very tight for a couple days. But it will eventually relax and I am back on track.

My journey to a new me is in full swing and reaching this milestone is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
