7 month Bandiversary + WIW

Happy 7 Months since getting Lap Band!

And a Happy Day it IS!!  Officially 75 pounds lost in 7 months! Yay!

 

That means I have 69.1 pounds to go until I get to "Onederland".

My goal of 200 pounds might seem like a pretty high weight to most of y'all.  But here's an old photo of me at about 200 pounds:

Emily, Me, and Steffi- age 15

So, that's what I intend to look like at goal, plus 10 years lol.

    Awesome loss! You are such a pretty girl!

    Everyone's goal weight is there own... when I picked mine (145) I hadn't even weighed 190 anything since I was 16. So at least you know what yours may look like!

    75 lbs! Yay! You're a tall girl, so that looks like a great weight for you. I think a good goal weight is where we feel most comfortable.

    Congrats on your loss. I understand the goal weight. My goal is 225. The last time i weighed that i was probably 13 or 14 so i have no ideas what I'll look like there but its just a number.alot of people who get the band START at my goal...but like you I'm a big tall blonde so its about being comfortable in your own skin. You are doing awesome!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
