Hey everyone. I went back to work today - took an extended vacation from work after being banded. Anyways, when lunch hour came people asked me where I was going for lunch - I was notorious for being the "food getter" cause everyone always knew I was going SOMEWHERE for lunch. Well I suprised them all!!! Now keep in mind that I have ZERO restriction and I can eat anything - and I do mean ANYTHING - and wont be getting my first fill until Jan 5th. I could have easily went to Panera bread and got a sandwich and Soup - they have the BEST food I have ever tasted........but to make a long story short, guess what I did. I went down to our company gym and got on the TREADMILL for 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it myself. I had brought 2 chicken wings and a leg for lunch - only Protein - and I stuck with that!!!! Wow - I never thought I could do it. All the while I am telling myself "you can have it - you can eat anything right now. You won't be able to do that after you get your fill". And when it came down to it I passed. Now guess what's going through my head? Guess how much money I am going to have to spend on a NEW WARDROBE since I am not going to be eating out for lunch anymore!!! That is so much better than eating!!!!

Made the mistake with my band twin of going to Panera bread in Mequon after our first fill...everything was good until I tried eating my foccacia...the Soup was working out fine...EESH! Next time I'll just get soup!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
