I'm new at this I'm still trying to figure out how to read my message here thank you
I don't think it went thru

You look great! Especially your arms. My arms aren't fairing as well but I'm older and not planning on showing off arms anytime soon. My niece just told me I need to shop for smaller clothes (my smaller clothes are now too big).

Thank you Your week will turn into a month and then 6 months then all of a sudden you'll be celebrating a year too!
Seriously, it goes that fast!
Enjoy the ride because it'll go fast and then the real hard work begins... (maintenance)
IMO anyways.
I'm 2.8 lbs from goal, but by dear golly it has been harder to stay at this weight (and to lose the last few!) Then it was to lose the first 120!

Hi all,
Am new to the site so please be gentle
I love reading everyone's posts.
A little back story... I had the band when I was near 300lbs. I lost about 126lb after giving it my all, exercise became my friend and I was absolutely loving life. However, I always had trouble with the band. I hated the unpredictability of it - some days I was fine, others I could be throwing up multiple times a day. To cut a long story short, I am having a band to bypass revision at the beginning of November (after putting on nearly 5 stone). Am very excited!
However, I'm sitting here feeling pretty disgusting after eating a family size bar of chocolate. I want to say that's the only thing I've eaten, but that would be a lie. So my question to you folks...what kind of fat person were you? Did you have have a mega sweet tooth? Gorg on takeaways? Just eat large portions?
I suppose I ask because I am intrigued as to how you coped with this change post surgery? I most definitely have a binge eating disorder which I am looking into seeing a therapist about. When I had the band, my food portions weren't cut drastically overnight (apart from the initial period). It took nearly 6 months before I had any restriction, so worked my butt off during that time and took advantage of my new found motivation.
My concern going forward is that I was always have this obsession with food...that I will always search for that 'full' feeling, that I will push it further than I should. Not out of greed per se, but more out of self sabotage (I seem to enjoy feeling rubbish about myself, it's what I'm used to).
I'm scared of my life being dictated by food...or perhaps it always will be and I just need to deal with that? I just don't want to be fat anymore...or lose all the weight again, but just to put it back on again.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has felt the same and what your experiences are?
Sorry for the rambling.
Lou

I loathe Halloween.... always have - even as a kid! Buuuuuutttt it was probably due to my size and always feeling uncomfortable in any costume.
Another buuuttt

This year we are actually THROWING A HALLOWEEN PARTY!
It was even my idea!
Me! Mine! I haven't decided what I'm going to dress up as yet but the fact that I am even thinking of doing anything other than my usual (which is nothing) is a huge deal for me
