Weigh in Wednesday- 19 month edition

I'm not even going to try to lie and say this doesn't feel good.
 
Highest recorded weight was 344.4. But, I do know that I saw the 350's on a few occasions that I refused to write down.  I've come a long way.
 
It has been 19 months since surgery and regardless of my decision to revise, weight loss surgery has been the best decision of my life and one of the things I'm most proud of. I have a lot in my life to be thankful for and proud of my hard work, but nothing makes me feel as good physically as losing 1/3 of my body weight!

    Congrats, girl! I've been following your blog for a while and you remind me a bit of myself :) Except that I'm at the beginning of the pre-Op process. I think will actually be right around the age you were when you were banded! My surgery is projected to be this summer in July.

    Anyways, you're definitely a big encouragement in this process for me already!

    Feel free to check out my blog sometime if you feel the urge :) unleashinganitrawildes.blogspot.com

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...

Burger or salad?

Image
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.
