Hello everyone...here in Louisiana for the past few weeks it's been nothing but parties, balls, parades, and those sweet tasting king cakes. I've managed to stay away from them all, well except 1 parade. We had our usual feast of king cakes at work and I'm so proud of myself for not even having one little piece. I had my 2nd fill last week and for the first time in over a month I finally see the scale moving in the downward position. Can I tell ya, I'm smiling from ear to ear. Went out to dinner last night with the hubby and kid and all I ordered was a side salad and I didn't even eat it all, that felt so good, b/c usually we order appetizer, then a big meal and i normally eat it all. My husband even commented by saying "wow, is that it" The past month has been really hard for me and i was getting really discouraged b/c i had NO restriction and was still hungry all the time, and even started to wonder why did i go thru the surgery for this. I'm on this site daily and it's b/c i get so much support from ppl that don't even know me and I thank you all...

Well enough about me, I'm off today but no parades or parties for me, I'll be at home doing house work. have a great day ppl and Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

GermianeF - Wow, thanks! Good to have someone close! I am worried about what would give me more restriction (band or plication). My insurance do not cover any WLS, so I am going to Mexico to Dr. Ortiz. I think I found Dr. Ghassin (misspelled, sorry) to do fills and adjustments. Just really trying to make up my mind and get input. Are you glad with ur band?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
