SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, what do you love about your weight loss and/ or band????
That when I go out with friends, I always eat the least and I am stuffed after. No more of this picking at food and pretending I didn't really want a side order of ... or an appetiser ... or dessert. I love that other people feel like pigs when they eat with me now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic list. What I love most about my band is the inability to overeat anymore. I love that even if something is delicious and before I would have eaten every single bite, now I cannot. It is my favorite thing about my band: portion control.
ReplyDeleteFound you by accident. I'm having my lap band surgery in 13 days on June 27th :) Take care, Amy
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best with your surgery. I will be celebrating my one year bandiversary just after u get banded...June 30
