On Sunday, Andy celebrated the 1 year anniversary of his lapband surgery. I am so proud of him, his doctors tried to discourage him, saying that most people who have this surgery fail to lose weight because they find ways to "cheat" with the band. Andy has learned that there are many ways to cheat but it is so not worth it to ruin something that has been such a life-changing tool. I am so proud of the diligence and the restraint that Andy has had over this year to lose the weight that he has. He has officially lost 101 pounds since his surgery one year ago! I wish I could lose 101 pounds. I am going to post some comparison shots of Andy taken one year ago, look at the amazing change.
My hot husband, 1 year after surgery - seriously what a hotty (terrible picture of me, sorry)

Needless to say, Andy is loving life. This has been a huge life change for him and I think he wouldn't change it for anything. I have loved watching him shrink yet grow so much over the last year, the kids love their "new" dad!

Oh my gosh, my brother in law is SO hot! Did I just say that?!? Andy, we are so proud of you! And, every time I am with you, I wonder if I could possibly lose my last 14 lbs or so and you are such a great example to me. Those before and after pictures are so amazing. Wowza!
