Oops! I didn't see you had the sleeve. Definitely not a port!

& when the time comes, enjoy that drink! ????

In all honesty, I've done it "my way" a few times so far but I thought I'd ask anyway. I just didn't want to compromise the hard work I've already put into this but I'd say, I'm understanding what works for me. No issues whatsoever and I'm down 76 lbs in 7 months. No complaints! Good luck to you as well!!

Good video! Thanks!

I'm sure I will get lot of opinions. Ultimately, just seeing how everyone handles times like this. I don't do carbonation- I haven't since pre-op and am too nervous to start up again. I'm not a wine drinker but can't imagine it being different than drinking any alcohol, really. Thanks for your response! Makes sense. (I'm 7 months post-op)

You know what makes the difference.... A good pair of jeans! For the first time, I went and spend money on two pairs of jeans and LOVE them!!! Do you have a Maurice's in your area? If so, go try on their silver jeans! :-)

I am down about 85 since the the "before" picture! Banded April 2013. I'm so very thankful to be on this journey.

Lets check in! How is everything going???

Every once in a while, my husband and I get a evening to ourselves to do dinner. When we do, I usually get some sort of drink- like a yummy margarita (don't judge, it's my treat!) and I do still eat a tiny bit. I know you aren't supposed to drink 30 before and 30 after but will it hurt if I do this like once maybe twice a month?

Mine doesn't stick out, but you are probably feeling your port. Thats about the size of it.

172
