Having a fill next week!

I'm having my 8th doctor's appointment. In my previous 7 appointments, I have had only 5 fills. On one occasion, I turned down a fill because I still felt tight, and I knew I didn't need it. Last month, my doctor said am doing great -I lost 12 pounds from my last fill, so I did not need one. I lost 80 pounds since my surgery on Oct 26, 2009.   I know I need a fill for June because I am feeling a little hungry at times and drinking a lot more liquids. I'm still doing great, BUT IN MY HEAD I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE LOST A LOT MORE - 'grrrrrrr'. I lost only 4 pounds from last month to now, so it's time for my 1/2 cc fill - that's what works for me each time I get my fills. It took some playing around to find what works for me. So I'm going in next Wednesday for my tweaking, that's what the Nurse Practitioner and I call it.   I did not lose as much as I had hoped this month. I normally lose anywhere from 8 pounds to 13 pounds a month. I feel great and I'm looking good to. I work out every day, walk 3 miles a day. YOU CAN FOLLOW ME ON MY BLOG. I have a lot of tips, workout exercises that I do and wonderful recipes. I love to cook, always have. I love to have dinner parties. My friends and family tell me that I should go into catering. I had to find a way to keep doing what I love the most, and that's cooking. Ok, and eating.. lol.   Seeing how I do not eat as much anymore, I love to watch others enjoy my cooking. I have recipes of the day on my blog and a lot more, so have a look and let me know if it's helpful to you. :smile2: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! Meal For A Deal Black Bean Soup

More-for-Your-Money Meal These days, who can't use a little extra "help" in the kitchen? Eating on a budget is easy—and tasty. This recipe makes 4 servings for under $15.00. Less is more flavor! This simple yet flavorful black bean soup draws upon Italian and southwestern influences. I love this soup a regular at our house. When serving to kids I use less crushed red pepper to make it slightly less spicy. The soup "magically" turns slightly pink if you add fresh lemon to your bowl of soup. My husband calls this dish "Meal for a Deal Black Bean Soup" So that's what I named it. It's so hearty and yet low in calories! Definitely a great soup.
