Getting Closer!!!

Sep 19, 2010

I am just back from a professional conference in Santa Fe, NM. Fall in New Mexico is absolutely beautiful. The conference went 5 hours each day and after that I was free to explore. We did lots of walking and dined out in many fine restaurants . I ate many more high calorie foods than I am used to, but due to my sleeve I only consumed small to very moderate amounts. I also had alcohol daily(1-2 servings) and today I weighed 7 lbs less.(215.5)! I now know that what my nutritionist said is true. I am done with dieting if I listen to my sleeve and call it done when I reach my capacity .Interestingly, the amounts I can eat vary. Sometimes I feel hungry but eat like 6 bites and I am full. Other times i can eat a whole meal with small portions. I am sticking to the not drinking for 15 minutes before and 30 minutes after as my surgeon told me he thought this was of GREAT IMPORTANCE in maintaining your weight loss. I had a totally cool experience in New Mexico. We were in an exclusive shopping area and I went into  a designer coat store and could fit into regular sized coats right off the rack! I actually bought a new winter coat size large!!!!!! Yahoo, goodbye plus sizes, hello choices.
