Giby97, vacation in virginia sep - oct 2010

Hello All Bandsters. :thumbup: I'm on vacation to Virginia from South Korea. Enjoying some time with the family. What joy it is to fly and use the seat belt with "2.5 inches" to spare plus the table tray not resting on ones stomach.:thumbup: Another good thing was the food on the flight was tailored for my diet-all of the meal choices--ate very comfortably. Have been eating out at restuarants- eating fish-Trout with veggies. Only had one episode and it was when I choose to eat a patti-melt with fries.:confused: I stopped eating in time and saved face- in front of my two son's and their families. Amen to that. There are no scales here at my sister's but I am maintaining my eating habits for my lapband. I went to WalMart's and sat at the Subway shop having just water and I sat in a booth that had the table bolted to the floor-not much room but behold I slide in the seat with 1/2 inche to spare---what a feeling!:thumbup: Meals this trip included-fish--trout, spaghetti, a hot dog, a patti melt, flounder etc. Ready to return home to Korea and begin my vigorous exercise regime. yes only 4 months to go to reach my lapband anniversary--plan on being down 100 #s. Already down 50 #s. Feeling great, happy, and excited because I have bought more clothes, I am down to size 44 pants from 54. Believe that. Words of wisdom: stay the course, be positive, and be patient--the way of the lapbander!!!:thumbup:
