37th wedding anniversary. Had 1,500 calories for just dinner! Oh well there is always tomorrow. I have lost 130 lbs since July 30, 2012, but today I splurged. I am only at 3.8 in 14 cc Realize band and have absolutely no restriction to date. I am going to get another fill next week, so hopefully I will be better off with being satisfied with smaller portions and wiser selections. On the plus side i ate a lot of protein with dinner. Guess I will shoot for negative calories tomorrow.

Oh, heck! Everyone cheats! 1,500 calories for a high protein meal shouldn't be a setback. It was a special occasion, just get back on track and you will be fine. I also don't have much restriction as to food or portion size; so I rely on eating a lot of protein and watching calories. 130 pounds in a year is awesome! I hope I can do as well!

Congratulations and happy anniversary! I would say 37 years and 130 lbs are cause to celebrate! Like Labwalker said, everyone splurges now and then, just not everday like a lot of us used to.

Thanks for the encouragement. Tomorrow will be a better day.

You've done fantastic, both on the weight loss and marriage fronts! Sounds like you are really living well with your band...not relying on an overly tight band for limiting your calories, but doing it yourself with a "little" help from this tool. Be proud of yourself!
