Topic: First time eating out- Chinese
My office took everyone out for Chinese today, my first time eating out!
I did great chose the chicken and asparagus. Did not eat the rice and only a few of the asparagus.
There was only about 3 ounces of chicken and was sliced thin and very tender.
I did great! Just thought, wow imagine what damage I could have done before my band!
banded July 25
first fill September 6

It has been easy for me, however I have not tried to eat pasta, white bread..too scared..lol
Once you get routine down it is easy, meals take some planning but the pounds melting off are worth it.
I love my band, I am not hungry at all and get full fast!
Will you be at the end of month meeting?
I will tell Robin Z you said Hi!

Be intrigued by your potential. Step back to evaluate what causes you to delay improving your life by not moving beyond the boundaries that hold you prisoner. Discard the patterns that do not work and rebuild your goals with substance, determination and the expectations of succeeding in them. Everyday is a new beginning; one where you can take one more step than yesterday and do one more thing tomorrow. Conquer your fears!

I seen this posting after I read your response to my posting.
Don't be nervous it will be fine, are you getting the band or other?
I was banded July 25 and was out of work 2 weeks ( I took the second week just so I could be on
routine LOL)
I had very little pain except getting up and down from sitting (chairs too low)
I am sure you will do just fine, besides the end results are so worth it!
