So here I am on my way from MA to my homeland in PA, bored as my hubby drives us safely there. Good time for a quick check in bc it's been awhile!  Im about 5.5 months out and feeling awesome. Im a completely different person and getting closer every day to my goal. My relationship with food has changed completely,  I no longer eat for pleasure or out of boredom, food has become fuel. I fill my little tank with quality food only when it needs it. I have a bite or two occasionally of no-no foods and thats all I need anymore. Im not strict or militant about how I eat, but I feel 100% in control of what, how and when I eat and my new stomach helps regulate how much. I laugh a little when people ask 'can you have this?'. I always answer ' I CAN have anything, I just CHOSE not to consume certain things!' This surgery was the best decision I've ever made! I didnt imagine I could feel so happy/content with life. Im 17lbs away from my goal and looking forward to my 6 month follow up appointment in a few weeks. I added a few recent pics in my profile if anyone is interested in seeing what 110lbs lost looks like (for me, anyway) :) Cheers!

Congratulations, you look great! I really like what you said about food "I CAN have anything, I just CHOSE not to consume certain things!" I've got to remember this. Thank you for your post. Christine
