Its been sometime since I've been on LBT... I missed ya'll. You all helped me get through the challenging parts of this journey(Although, there has not been that many). I have had several stuck episodes, I had to learn how to eat again. I'm rarely ever hungry, more thirsty than anything. food is no longer my bestfriend. so far I only have 3.5 cc in my band. Since the very beginning of this weightloss journey I have loss 57 pounds. I can't explain in words how wonderful I feel (before/current pictures coming soon). I still have NO clothes, I think my body is shrinking more than my actual weight is coming off, I started in a size 26, now I'm in a 20, but I still wear my 22's with a belt because I can't afford clothes right now, I do shop at the second hand stores every now and then.

I basically dropped in to say that I'm still EXCITED the same way I was excitied before (I'm not getting paid to say this, I'm a normal person with a normal background). No, this has NOT been easy. I miss food (not saying that I can't eat, but I miss certain foods) I use to ABSOLUTELY LOVE BROCCILI, I would eat it almost every day.I broke down and cried after I got stuck eating it. After I got stuck I thought maybe I didnt chew enough so I tried again, SAME THING. I also miss bread and Pasta, I tried pasta, it went down, but digesting it was CRAZY.

I'm far from a success story, but I know this was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love my new life!!
