Tomorrow is my One year Bandanniversary
So tomorrow 6/3 is my 1st year from being banded and I've lost so far 98-99 lbs... I've been stuck since Jan with being unmotivated and self-sabotaging myself for some unknown crazy reason! (Well I kind of know why...) I recently have found some motivation and started exercising again, I need to finish getting this last 50-60 lbs off.. I was wondering how everyone else has done so far, especially at their year mark... How do you all resist eating junk food? I guess I am just still scared of letting go and becoming skinny... I've never been skinny and it’s still hard to think that way… Thanks!

Oh no! Bridal functions! Need advice ASAP
get a beer bottle and spit the alcohol into it..waste of money but it will work.. just act all crazy.. I was up walking around the day after surgery, so I dont know.. how you will be feeling.. Food I would stick to creamy soup (none chunky).. mashed potatos and maybe even cheese..

Need Suggestions cause I'm stuck!
if your gaining weight from your last fill, and you havent caused slippage, then either your eating too much food consumption or your not getting enough calories in. Have you talked to your doctor about this? I heard switching up your meals from dinner at Breakfast and lunch at lunch and breakfast at dinner helps too..make sure your getting your Protein and Water in too.. Maybe for a day or two eat higher calories then go back to liquid for a few, them soft, then mushies..

When I was bigger, I stopped having peirods for a while, now its on time to the day and its heavy.. it totally sucks bad.. I feel like i am dieing. When I'm on my peirod I dont really avoid junk food, though I should.. I have a major problem of snacking.. I figure if i feel like im dieing I should have a last meal.. HAHA..

What's a good way to meet a guy? Do guys actually like bigger girls?
Working graveyard does play a big role in being stuck for weight loss.. I sit a lot, I get bored so I eat or snack.. Which i've been nipping in the butt..Plus its harder to go out and meet people when your working at night.. I'll be 21 soon so theres that whole bar scene, but who really meets a good partner at a bar? I got this awesome new wii game, the outdoor activity challenge.. I get into this really bad and play for hours! I think I am going to bring this to work with me every night and play it for a few hours! I am really excited about this.. I thinkk this is going to help my plateau. I also made another fill appointment for jan 5th, I am really excited. That week a bunch of people are going to meet in denver for dinner.. I'm really excited to meet others that were banded by my doctor too. I'm pretty much done with the semester next week and I can't wait! I am going to go have a lot more fun than I've been having the last month.. Maybe I'll go on a single guy hunt! I'm more of a chaser than the hunted, but who knows =) that may change.
