My daughter's wedding is that weekend so I'll be in Bham. Otherwise I'd be there! I'm actually headed down there this weekend to have my sister take my daughter's bridal portraits at the botanical gardens.
Are you interested in sharing your weight loss success with others?

Any other questions--I will be glad to answer.
Last night I did my P90X+ and then when DH got home he wanted to walk the neighborhood, so I did that too! It was hot and muggy--not as nice as last Wednesday when we walked.
Eats today:
B1-Jimmy Dean D-Lights breakfast bagel
B2-grilled chicken breast
L-Lean Cuisine Pizza
S-strawberries
S-Chobani mango yogurt
D-salmon and veggies
Dessert-NSA ice cream bar
Exercise today will be P90X+ core and maybe some running--depends on the weather (I might get on the treadmill if I can't go out....we'll see)

You must determine which one fits your health/life best--this is forever. Remember, with any WLS you must completely overhaul your lifestyle to be successful long term, and that includes making regular exercise a part of your life. Start now--it will make recover so much better.
Welcome, and let us know if we can help in any way. I wish you much success on your journey.

Think about your personality traits and overall health and ask your surgeon his opinion. Follow your heart. Don't second guess yourself or your decision.
I, personally, was not a sweets eater and wasn't a binge eater. I just loved food. I was an emotional eater. I opted for banding (I am also 10 years out). I needed restriction to tell me to stop. My band has worked. I did not have to take the B-12 injections and with the exception of a Vit-D issue that is non-WLS related I have had smooth sailing.
