My first mention at work was my boss saying I didn't look as "swollen" I assume that was from salt...but I'll take it

wish I could put you over my shoulder and pat your back...

Hiatal Hernia - and it is very common amongst us bigger people...no worries - you are fixed now. No food will make it redevelope

With ya - makes me wonder is the burping wonder I used to work with had a band done!

Oh yes - changing habits is hard. Both of my step-daughters had this before me (mine was just 12/30/11) and both of them quickly learned how to cheat the band rather then use it. Like it was a puzzle put there just to be figured out. No worries, girl. Start by eating that protein! It's amazing how much that helps. After that you might not have room for all the bad stuff. I figure it I eat what I am supposed to and still have room for junk then I am not restricted enough. Already I think my restriction is less so I am looking forward to first fill!

Sounds like starting from day one again - keep on keeping on!

You are adorable!
