Good morning friends. I haven't posted any pics for a while so I thought I'd post pics from my day yesterday. I went to Queens to watch the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Races. It was fun to watch but the bestest part of the day was my being able to walk from the shuttle drop off well into the park where the races were being held. I never could have done that a year ago. I wouldn't have even been able to go. I know that one day, this will all become ordinary for me, but for now, I thank my band and my orthopedic surgeon every day for giving me my life back. Today is my birthday and for the first time in a very long time, I am looking forward to a future of endless possibilities.

Hi everyone. Haven't been on here lately but I do try to read everything. Everyone seems to be having a super summer!! Yesterday we buried my mother. Not sad, she was 96 in July but her mind left years ago so we lost her 4 years ago not yesterday. A month before my sister-in-law, her 97 year old father died. Weird 2 in 30 days.

My numbers on the scale have not been great but with not eating so wonderful this week, I am down 5 pounds!! That is something positive. Maybe I can keep up my plateau of over 1 year and get out of the 190's finally. I was banded 2 years ago and the same weight for around 1 1/2 years. Lazy, tells it all. Maybe now that I have no excuse to see my mother and do things, I will get to the gym more often. I pay every month.

Everyone, enjoy this wonderful sun shine day (it is in Boston).

Love you all.

Arlene

My happy place I might have to leave . I love it here it's my place where I can be free and be me and someone who would love to make my life a living hell just for the fun of it and since we work together I can not beat the crap out of gotta love union jobs lol I might need to delete my account which saddens me. You guys have been so fantastic yet the thought of people know about the greatest day of my life gives me anxiety beyond belief. Why must people who are so miserable in their lives make mine so miserable. Finally the fraud I have been portraying although I know it's just a tool and how to work it and basically know no one else's opinion matters but it does . I'm working on this privately this year had been a wonderful amazing year why can't people mind their business how I did it ... If I delete account do all my post go bye bye as well? . Social media a gift and a curse

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
