I'll be a year post op next month. My Dr did a full blood panel at 6 months and will do it again at a year.

We went to Wolfgang Puck's pizza Bar. We ordered the prosciutto appetizer. It had the prosciutto, arugula, balsamic, some sort of soft cheese similar to mozzarella... it was completely amazing.

Today I was referred to as "The Incredible Shrinking Woman!"

So I caved and did what I never do and reweighed as I was about to get in the shower (after eating)....

Cruel' date=' just cruel.

That's when you force yourself to pee and reweigh!!!

This might be my fate. They're opening up a whole foods near my work very soon. I might just have to take a look at what they got. I just have this impression or some reason that the pre made stuff isn't that great for us. There's no nutritional facts that I can pick apart so I just assume its not good. I think I'm going to need to get over that.

Whole Foods will display ingredients lists on their food bar and deli section. The rotisserie chicken salad is AHHHMAZING!!

Karen, you are gorgeous!!! What are your stats? How far out are you?

Today I tried on dresses in banana Republic!!!

Yes! We were at Southpark

Had a grilled chicken strip kids meal from Showmars with tzatziki!!!

This is a wonderful story! I am hoping this is how my high school reunion goes. I graduated in 2005 so 10 year reunion isn't too far off. I'm down 60 pounds since my surgery- May 30.

High school wasn't great for me. I was obese even then and had very few friends. I ate lunch alone hiding from everyone else either in the lounge or sometimes even in the bathroom as gross as that sounds. I didn't go to either of my proms and cried so hard about it. Most people weren't outright mean to me or anything though a couple were.

Oh I am just LOVING this thread!!

Because I LOVE looking at before and afters, here's a thread to add them to!!

A lot of people do when they come off caffeine.

Has anyone ever seen these? Cooked with these? Jumped up and down in joy for these?

As of today, I'm ten months post op and down 116 pounds!!! So thankful to have made these changes!! Let's celebrate!!

I had a cheeseburger. I mean...pre op it would have been small...but I ate it. Then felt totally disgusting. I cringed as I stepped on the scale this morning. Ready to take whatever punishment was rightfully deserved after such a gluttonous meal...down TWO POUNDS! That proves that sometimes the scale is going to do whatever it's going to do...

Oh oops!! Wonder who I'm thinking of that's like 5'11"??
