Thank you for addressing the "white elephant" in the room on our forum.
There is nothing wrong with sharing best practices and first hand experiences which have led to learning and understanding with regards to band related issues.
I cringe when I read medical advice being given by individuals who do not hold the professional credentials to be dispensing medical advice.
This forum is not a replacement for consulting with your surgeon or their medical team.

Dots is my clothing HAVEN. I just ventured to "the other side" the other day for XL shirts. It was like letting a kid into a candy shop. ... $70 was sent that 1 hour lol

The hardest part of all of this is temptation. Once you can overcome temptation it gets significantly easier. We are all big for some reason or another, and we didnt get here by making great food choices. You have to learn to reset your mind. And it doesnt happen overnight. For some people surgery put their mind straight and they haven't deviated. Good for them , but that doesnt happen to all of us. Don't get discouraged.
I way I am learning to think of food is
1) why am I eating this? (hunger, boredom,ect)
2) what is the food giving my body? (Protien, vitamins, ect)
3) could I make a better choice
4) Will I feel guilty afterwards and is it worth it? (some times the answer is yes. For example I ate a cupcake, it was delicious, I am under my calorie count, and I only ate 1. Do I feel guilty. NOPE)
Your body is still healing dont focus on weight. You should focus on getting your mind right and letting your body heal. Weight loss will come

I had not heard about the Six Flags lady. I dont know how large she was or any details. But I do know the last time I went to an amusement park I went on a roller coaster and SQUEEZED into it. Well guess what it popped loose while riding. Luckily there was another safety measure that kept my bar from coming completely loose. It was a terrifying experience.

Congrads You should be so proud! I avoid shopping too. My clothes are limited because I cant fit anything, even plus size clothes fit me weird because of my body shape. Hope things change for me soon like they have for you

So great to hear that your incisions are finally healing in the right direction. Sounds like so many great things are on the horizon for you! Good for you! Hope all continues to go well for you!
