armymom2012 got a reaction from suzbuni in This Bunny Is Off Her Meds!- Non Scale Victory Time!!
I totally get what your saying. I just recently went under 200. The feeling is amazing:) I'm really excited to hear you are off your blood pressure meds after loosing part of your weight. I was just talking to my husband last night after my weigh in at the Bariatric Clinic. My BP used to be around 160/80's and 90's, sometimes even higher at times. That is one of the main reasons I decided to have this surgery, especially after being admitted a few years back with over 200 BP reading. All I could think was I am too young to die at 40 over something I could learn to control and now as of yesterday I showed 110/72. Hopefully now I can start to get off the two BP pills I take everyday, that would be awesome. Good Luck to you.

Feels great don't it:) I did that last week to. I really hated to get rid of all the clothes, because most of them were pretty new to start with. Pre-Surgery. But I also had kept alot of clothes around for years, thinking my weight would go up and down aNd I might need them. Good thing, because I have quite a few things I am now able to fit into from my smaller days. But the other stuff had to go to make room for the NEW.
Now I find myself bying a few things that are to small, knowing I will be in them by summer. Good Luck to you all:)

I am in week 2 of eating regular foods. My husband and I go out with friends a couple times a month if we can. Now that I have the Lap Band, I feel so self concious around everyone when we eat. My husband tries to pick places that should have a few things on the menu that I can eat, but this weekend we went to a Cajun place. I love Cajun food, problem is it can have lots of gravy and huge portions. While everyone ordered the good stuff, I had to order a cup of Gumbo. All though it was good, I could only eat part of it and left the bread alone. Somehow I just didn't feel the same enjoyment from it as I used to. Oh well.
We are going on vacation in 2 weeks to California. I rarely drink, but I was really looking forward to going to a couple local wineries, but now I am not so sure thats a good idea:( If I drink a little I can't eat. If I don't eat a little, it goes straight to my head.lol
Other than eating out that causes problems sometimes, I am glad I have the band and hopefully in a year I am close to my goal weight.
