I am so sorry about Nikolai... don't be hard on yourself for a stressful night -- grief messes with us all. Hope you get some joy from the meetup today!
i also want to say the difference between you in the two black dresses is incredible!

Morning all! Almost afternoon here, actually but I want to get back to posting daily. I miss you!
Hamilton was WONDERFUL. I got misty eyed for every song just because I was so excited, and bawled at the end. The actors were fantastic. I went nuts at the merch table too, and got two T-shirt's and a pair of socks. I love that I can easily buy shirts at concerts and shows now and the size doesn't have an X in front of it (barely--I'm still a L haha) however, they asked if I needed my SOCKS in S, M, L, or XL. WHAT? I've never had to size-stress about socks, I figured they were mostly a one size fits all thing! Bahahahahaha. I just told her my shoe size and she gave me what she thought was appropriate, and they're fine. L, if anyone is curious what a women's size 9 shoe would be in socks.
QotD: I knew I wanted RNY because it had the most long term data and I wanted the gold standard. I know many people revise to RNY, and I already had a little bit of acid reflux, so I decided to just "go for it."
breakfast: coffee with SF pumpkin spice creamer, HB egg with sriracha
lunch: Italian sausage and peppers on the menu today. I've been guesstimating portions which hasn't been serving me well, so I've brought a 1 C container to eat my lunch out of when I eat the provided lunch. On days I bring my own, I weigh it out on my scale at home.
Snack: Greek L&F
dinner: I'll throw together some pesto shrimp on zucchini noodles
The last before and after comparison photo I took, plus a more recent one. I still don't take many full body photos, but I'm sure I'll update my before/after comparison on my two year mark in feb. I'm losing so much more slowly now that I feel like I'd get discouraged if I took more frequent before and afters now, though it was super exciting during my first year.

Cara's right, you keep getting prettier and prettier. Glad you guys had fun at Hamilton.
Are you going to Hella Megga Tour - Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer? We are getting our tickets Monday.

Dawww shucks!
Im not entirely sure we'll go to that one. We have seen both Fall Out Boy and Weezer, but not Green Day, so we'll see! There's a few shows around here coming up (Badflower, Guns N Roses, Starset) that we're excited for!

Ok quick menu post while I'm on my lunch break.
QOTD: I originally wanted the VSG, but after taking to my surgeon he recommended the RNY due to my severe GERD and informed me I most likely wouldn't lose the amount of weight I wanted to with the VSG. So that was that. Decision made!
B: premier shake
B2: coffee w/Splenda
L: salad
D: Olive Garden tonight with a friend so probably a zoodle dish.
S: fruit of still hungry
Surgery: RNY on 1/23/19
Here are my photos....although I still have a lot more to lose!! First one is me at Christmas the month before surgery. Second was me in June 2017 just before my friends wedding. Third one is me this past May. Fourth one is from July....6 months from surgery and the last one was taken yesterday.
Ok so the order of these photos are probably all screwed up and some may be posted multiple times as I am having a difficult time posting them from my phone. Lol
