As of this morning I am officially 100 pounds down!!! It came on the exact day of being 11 months out from surgery. I'm excited to have finally hit the triple digits after flirting with it for the last 3 weeks. I don't have a lot else to report and just wanted to share how excited I am.
We are headed over to eastern Washington tomorrow night after work for a long weekend of wine tasting so I'm trying to get caught up on work before I leave for a few days. I'm still trying to find the time to get caught up on everyone's blogs so I apologize for being absent recently.
Oh! One quick thing. For those who are following the B.O.O.B.S blog, you may have noticed that I have volunteered to put together a lap band cookbook. Depending on how many recipes I get from everyone (we are asking for 1-2 per person who want to submit), I may or may not print these to take to Chicago. I would instead get it into a document and either get inexpensive USB jump drives for everyone or just email to everyone and you can print at home. Again, I will wait and see how big this gets and make a decision sometime in August about bringing printed copies to Chicago for everyone :) To submit a recipe, please send them here: lbcookbook@gmail.com
Anyways....here's to me finally hitting 100 pounds down and hoping that I can maintain it this weekend!!!

Whoo hoo Alexis!!! I'm so thrilled for you. Amazing accomplishment. Have a fantastic weekend. I'm wine tasting this weekend as well, so I'll send you good drunky thoughts! xoxo
Happy Dance for 100 pounds down. What a success. You'll soon be a S.O.B. (from Gen). I love wine tasting. And drinking.
Congrats Alexis!!!! Im so excited for you!!!! :o)
Congratulations! 100 pounds is a big accomplishment. A long weekend of wine tasting is just about the best way of celebrating that I can think of... enjoy!
Do the wiggle jiggle sista! Amazing!
Also great idea on the band friendly recipes. I have one for panko crusted halibut/cod. I will send it!
Cheers to a fantabulous day and WEEKEND!
100lbs!!! 100lbs!!!! I'm so excited for you this is awesome!!!
How wonderful! Congratulations to you!
Congrats on the 100 lbs!!
One thing we might want to do is look at getting the cookbook bound when we are in Chicago. You could bring the thing on usb and we could find a office store while we are there - for those who want to pay. I know someone who did something similar and it was pretty cheap for one of those flexy binders. We could also a cover art competition :)
Ohh.. and one more thing it might be nice to have sections in the cookbook for post op stuff like mushies, liquids, and protein drinks. It might be nice for those that are preop or others in the future.
One hundred cheers for Alexis!!!!
That's my girl! I am so proud of you!!! Take some time and really think about how amazing 100 pounds in 11 months is! Sometimes we get caught up in the "blogland biggest loser mentality" and we forget how far we have come!!!
Congrats again sweetpea! There is going to be so much room in our bed in chicago with how skinny we aer getting!
Congratulations!!! 100lbs is AMAZING!!! Very happy for you!
Great job!!! That is so awesome... can't wait to see that day, someday! And thanks for volunteering on the cookbook - great idea! I think an e-version we print ourselves is fine - but there is something nice about having a "tangible" too - but have everyone pay you or something via paypal! That can get expensive...
In the voice of Vicki from Real Housewife's of OC....WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!
