Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

My family keeps calling me skinny Minnie! Everybody keeps looking at me hugging me and gushing over how thin I am! I was this size my first year with the lapband (2007)but had gotten so big that I forgot how I look smaller. Oh hubby busted out laughing because he could see my shoulder bones and at first glance thought his eyes were playing tricks on him!

I wish I could say the same. I admit I went bananas over the past 2 days and ate a lot of things I shouldn't have. I tried to detox off sugar today and made it through about half the day. I caved and had a piece of chocolate. I need to get back on track. I didn't really gain but I certainly didn't lose anything. I am a sugar and carb addict and I need to stay away from them.

I am also a sugar and carb addict. If I ate even a little bit it could trigger all my old problems (a big fear of mine). I would probably eat too much and find it hard to stop. Like any addict I need to avoid sugar and carbs completely or it'll be my undoing. I also don't know if I dump yet. I've managed to stay away from anything that could cause dumping - just the fear of it is a good deterrent. :-)

Today I bought size 12 petite jeans. I can't remember the last time I wore 12s...

My C pap machine is drying out my nose and mouth. I can bring my legs to my chest. I can cross my legs without assistance.

My nsv happened Saturday. I just got a cute new hair cute and had to go get cash due to the system being down at the salon. I went to 7-11 and was leaving the store when on of my friends walked right past me as if she didn't know me. I slapped her on her butt and she turned around having a look of shock on her face that was priceless! It took her a second to realize it was me. She had no words! It was pretty funny and made my day!

Being able to wear boots!!

Cute!!! Where did you get them? I look and look but can't find any that I like!

I bought these on Amazon! I just searched knee high boots.

I love when people don't recognize me! Lol

Depending on how much you've lost you should get another sleep study done. I have stopped using mine completely! So excited bout that and the doctor told me not to use it because it can cause problems if you don't need it anymore.

We just bought a new computer chair which came boxed up. The total weight of the boxed chair is less than the weight I've lost so far ( I've lost just over 50lbs since a couple of weeks before the operation) and I was barely able to lift the box off the floor!!! Amazing to think that just 3 months ago ( surgery was 2 months ago) I was carrying more weight than this around on my body every single day!!! So happy to have got rid of this :-)

I feel like I'm on top of the world! I've never been so happy in my life.

Nope, I am an insurance specialist. Lol but, I love doing my makeup now. I love waking up every morning and actually putting it on and dressing up. ????????????????

I can cross my legs under a table in a booth at a restaurant.
