It is a new year and a new life for this lapbander!

I went in for my blood draw today. I meet my PCP next Friday then Dr. Snyder on the 18th. Three month out checkup. I think I might be under 300 by then. Wow! Can you say wow! I can't believe it has been three months already. Seems so normal now. Today I met with some friends at Old Chicago for a rehash of the season of football. It is the first time I have gone out since surgery. I had one beer and really sipped it to stretch it out. Then I ordered a meditteranean chicken dish with veggies and denied the bread. Cut my share into bits and eat slowly. Not bad at all. Brought the rest home for wife. Funny, paid for one meal but fed two people, when is the last time anyone said that about me! LOL! Two of my buddies were there, the both have retired in the last year or so. Hadn't seen them in a while and my good friend was a bit shocked. He was the only one who knew months in advance that I was doing this. So it had been two months since we saw each other. I will tell you this, say what you want about surgery to lose weight but be honest the speed of weight loss is an absolute bonus to drop massive weight fast. That is the biggest drawback to dieting is how long it takes. You put it on fast this gets it off fast. The other great part is how flattering it is to have everyone so complimentary and how understanding they are at the whole process of weight surgery and why I needed to do it. Escpecially understanding of the bad health I was in and how now my health is greatly improved. Has been the trip of a lifetime for me to go through all of this. So far, so good for me and I hope everyone else going through this is
