Well my walk might have been for nothing LOL! Went to an Employee Recognition Dinner.....actually it was my first real test since surgery and I think I did very well. And the Bariatric Coordinator for the hospital was across the room......hmmm think I fel****ched. LOL just kidding she could not see me. I did very good with the temptations. It was a sit down several course meal......and that included wine. I did have one sip...ok ok I will be honest two. But that was just to toast with my two bosses that were there. My mom got worried becuase they filled my glass (only had them put a small amount in the first time) but I just let it sit there.....I was good. there was a salad that I had a few bites of. Just had to try it ...t was such a fancy salad LOL. It was sitting so nice on the plate. The salad leaves were all wrapped up pretty with a slice of cucumber tied together. Anyway I had a few bites. There the dinner came out. It was chicken picata. But thankfully the sauce was around it and not on it. So I was able to pull off the breading and eat a couple bites of chicken. But then......they brought out dessert. Oh my......it was a chocolate pyramid that had some type of chocolate mousse inside. I had one bite. My mom and coworkers all finished there's LOL! Then coconut macroons and coffee. That I did not touch. Oh but I did have a few pieces of cheese at the dinner dinner the pre reception. I left there very satisfied that it was a normal function, I went had a good time, and was not stuffed or in anyway sick or as miserable as most that left LOL! And I did not miss it. Noone seemed to notice and it was a great evening! I saw the Bariatric Coordinator at the end and told her she could let my surgeon know that I passed my first real social test LOL! So she asked if I did ok.....told her that my main temptation that was hard was the wine.....not the pyramid LOL! this no drinking for a year thing....LOL not that I was a drinker but socially I enjoyed a drink or two. But it was a great evening. And a nice trial before a few holiday parties we have coming up. Donna

Holy Crap-o-la! I am totally on board with you on that one Donna! It's strange- the weeks that I feel like I'm totally off the wagon, the scale is so good to me. The weeks that I really behave and exercise and watch what I eat- I stall out. I can't figure it out and it's making me nuts!! Just keep on truckin, though! It will go down eventually! Have fun camping! Kathy
