    <p>I had surgery May 6th, 2013. I went to subway today and ate a 6 inch flat bread sub and chips! I can't believe I ate that much. Before surgery, I would eat a 12 inch, Soup, and chips...so I guess it is better. I just don't know what to do, because I can eat now. I don't have many foods that bother me, so I am able to eat pretty much anything. I am down from 298 to 209 and want to lose about 35 more pounds. I work out 5-7 times a week (haven't been so faithful the last two weeks now, but started again). I am wondering if others are struggling with the fact that they can eat again!</p>

    I've noticed that I can eat again too. Now that I'm able to eat a little more it worries the crap out of me too. I'm down to 175 from 308. Which, 135lbs is amazing. But, I'm terrified that my weight loss has stalled out almost. I think it's just that fear of failure coming back to haunt us.

    How has everyone been doing? I've lost 130lbs so I'm happy about that. However I would like to lose 20 more and now I've been struggling a little lately as far as my eating. Maybe one of the reasons is because I'm not on here as much as I use to be (it was a little hard when they were first making the transition to the new site), plus I could use more support from people who has had the surgery.

    Same with me 130lbs down and wanting 20 more. I can eat now without getting sick and that makes me nervous that it'll lead me into old habits. But, now I have the tools to keep myself in track. Mind over matter, right!? Lol :) congrats on your loss!!

    I went to a party on Saturday. Well, we all ended up getting in the hot tub. So, all my clothes were wet. One of the people that lived there handed me some dry clothes. I asked what size they were and his response to me was "you realize you're the smallest one here, does it really matter what size they are?" Lol made me stop and realize I'm not the 300+ lb girl anymore.

    My nsv happened Saturday. I just got a cute new hair cute and had to go get cash due to the system being down at the salon. I went to 7-11 and was leaving the store when on of my friends walked right past me as if she didn't know me. I slapped her on her butt and she turned around having a look of shock on her face that was priceless! It took her a second to realize it was me. She had no words! It was pretty funny and made my day!

    I love when people don't recognize me! Lol

    I got carded at the gas station the other day and the man didn't believe it was my ID. I had to explain to him that I have in fact lost a lot of weight & then proceeded to tell me how stunning I was and that he bets all the guys and girls are chasing me. Hahaha

    I'll be having my 3rd stricture EGD dilation on July 11th. Ugh. My weight loss stalled out for 2 weeks because I hadn't eaten in a long time due to not being able to with the stricture. I was able to eat for the last week and dropped another 8lbs. But, starting yesterday all my food is coming back up again. The last dilation they did started to bleed so they had to quit. So, they assumed I would need another. This will be the 4th time in 2 month going under anesthesia. I hate it! Still glad I did this though. My BMI is down 10 points. :)
