I love it! I can't wait until I can walk into a restaurant and not have to worry about where they are going to seat me too! Way to go!!!

Conratulations, Areellady!!!

I, too, have feared the booth... and lawn chairs... and bathroom stalls... and seat belts in friends' cars... and lots of other things, but no more!

You know, after having my son, I was able to use him as my excuse (instead of having to tell the hostess or waiter that I simply wouldn't fit) since they usually put child seats at tables, not in booths. How pathetic of me.

But no more! I was banded 6 months ago, and as of this morning (on my scale) I am down exactly 85 pounds. I still don't believe it is working so well, and I still have a ways to go: I was 315 on New Years Day 2007, my end goal is 160 - so I still have 70 to go (even though I can't get my ticker below to cooperate with these numbers). My hope is to lose the remaining 70 pounds in the next year - and I WILL DO IT!!!!

and I'll be thinking of you next time I get seating in a BOOTH!

I know how you feel. My wife and I have lost 330lbs. We just to never set in a booth, but now we have no trouble. Room to spare.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
