Hey stranger! This new site is crazy! Congrats on your good bye to size 20W. I'm down from a 26 to a 22W so I'm stoked too! It's an awesome feeling to see results in our bodies changing and not just the scale moving. I'm trying to move up my third fill to get some restriction for Thanksgiving... don't want to gain. Hope things are going good for you. It sounds like they are!

I got a gym membership a few weeks after my surgery, so I could walk despite whatever the Portland weather threw at me (read: rain). Despite my best intentions I have been in and out of still not feeling "GREAT" so I've only gone a few times. BUT! The other day another St. Louis expat who I knew tangentially on facebook and I started talking, and since she just moved here in October we decided we'd work out together. I'm super stoked about this. Accountabilly-buddy is go. Now if I can just get myself to stop comparing my weight loss to other amazing stories of weight loss and feeling inadequate about that (I know that's something I shouldn't do, but I think its human nature to do it) I'll feel ever better. Except for the blister I got on my heel from walking 2 miles in semi-loose shoes because I didn't tie them tight enough. I don't feel better about that. That one's all my bad.

Thanks for sharing your story. Your time on this Earth wasn't up and you are here for a reason so make it the best it can be. You deserve to be happy and to feel better. How long have you been banded? Best wishes to you!
