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!

I'm turning 25 at the end of this week so I wanted to write 25 things I'm thankful I can now do that I couldn't do at this time last year in celebration of another year of life. 1. Buckle an airplane seat belt. 2. Shop in a non plus size section of a store. 3. Snugly squeeze in a size 12 dress!!! 4. Run more than 30 seconds! 5. Go on a blind date without wondering if he's going to think I look fatter than my pictures. 6. Climb the Eiffel Tower!!! 7. Get excited about having my picture taken. 8. Sorry for TMI...but "adult time" is so much more fun! 9. Step on the scale to see a number that begins with 2. 10. Finish a whole Zumba class. 11. "Get low" dancing and get back up. 12.

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...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
