Thanks everyone. I weighed in at 192 this morning.

I thought I would bump this thread. I hung out with my friend a few weekends ago. We went to a football game together. It feels so surreal being on the opposite end of the spectrum. What I mean by that is I no longer have to worry about the little things while being heavy such as walking long distances, worrying about sitting in chairs, and constantly being out of breath. For once, he was telling me to slow down! The walk from the parking lot tailgate to the stadium is significant, and when I was at my heaviest I would dread walking it. I really feel like am a totally different person, literally and figuratively..

Ever since I can remember, I have been the "fat guy". That is what I was known for. I never took my shirt off at a pool or a beach, ever! That is something I want to change though. So, my best friend who I graduated high school together has always been much slimmer, popular, girls flocked to him; I sure you get the drift. Although we have been friends for over two decades I feel he never took me seriously because of my weight. At parties, clubs, bars, social situations I was always the one who was ignored and not payed attention too. Well, he moved out of state and we see each other about twice a year. He has a very stressful job and as a result has been emotionally eating and gained a significant amount of weight. He is one of the few that know that I had my surgery and he is very supportive. We saw each other for the first time in over a year last week and guess what...drum roll.....I weigh less than him. He even made a comment on how I was flirting with the waitress at the restaurant we met at. It felt like I was in his shoes for once. It felt truly that the tables have turned.

I am still a work in progress. First pic I was about 286, second pic about 202.

So yay! I thought this was a judgement free site. Silly me for thinking I wasn’t going to get condescending comments. If you were actually paying attention I am actually one pound below my goal. But thanks for your input

No, not really. Then again I took small sips.

As long as it wasn't for the Patriots or Packers you're forgiven

Thank you everyone for your insight. It is very much appreciated. I was a little harsh on Screwballski and I apologized to her. So all peace and harmony in the VSG realm.

Even though it is ingrained in our brain that carbonation is the devil, I tailgated today with some friends and had a diet coke and some Jack Daniels. I poured a little bit of the soda in a cup to sip to see if there were any adverse effects, I didn't have any. I nursed that drink over the course of an hour and was ok, nothing happened. I almost feel guilty for doing it. I am about six months post of and one pound away from my personal goal. I kind of am still scared of food but I am trying to overcome that.

Agreed. I think that, so long as it doesn't physically make you uncomfortable, ect. then there is nothing wrong with a jack and diet once in a while. Cheers to you BuzzVSG.

I could have written this same rant about anything that doesn't live up to my expectations,lol
I think being specific/selective is a part of self care especially if you know it will derail you to be around bad habits ... I'm just happy this post wasn't as shallow as I thought it was going to be.

I am scared of food in a general sense because I do not want to go back to who I was a year ago pre-sleeved. Yes, I did have an unhealthy relationship with food. I am not one of those people that thinks that surgery is the be all end all fix to losing weight. I have been somewhat regimented on my post op journey and it certainly has yielded results. My doctor said I would hit my goal within six months and he was right. I have no problems eating in moderation or until full, but I am weary of having certain foods that I would eat in excess when I was heavy such as Pasta, rice, etc. Soda was also a big staple in my old unhealthy life.
