What a weekend!!!

Hey all,

i had my final 2 summer bbq's this weekend and boy was it big fun.

party 1 - a housewarming - scooped my food out of pans with tablespoon. literally had a spoonful of food! -greens, chicken leg and sweet potatoes - it took me two sittings to finish this little bit of food. my children are amazed at how little i eat now. they keep offering me food but my little son will say "are you allowed to have this?" LOL:wink:- i had just a little of everything at this party and i was just fine - i had a fellow bandster there with me but i think she is band abuser. her plate was full of food... i tried to discuss eating with her but she was also the hostess - so she was busy.

Party 2 - more of the same - very small portions - my son asked me if i wanted to taste a piece of cake he had

" oh wait momma, can you have cake?" LOL:lol: - i did make one bad move though - i was talking to my daughter and stuck a piece of chicken in my mouth and forgot to chew! it was stuck, stuck, stuck - i bee lined to the bathroom and tried to bring it up and out but i had to let it sit and it went down - it hurt like HELL though. :tt1: (hence all of the smiley emotions) ~~

i went out looking at gyms on friday - my hubby agreed to go with me since we found a gym that is $32 per month for a couple. i will call the dr's office today to see when i can start working out.

i have been walking around alot because it is homecoming shopping season... my 16yr old is mall walking me to death!

Back to work this week though -

i sure enjoyed staying home these last 3 weeks.

i haven't focused too much on my weight - although i can say i am teetering under 260 right now but not to be excited because i know the best is yet to come.

first fill is 10/07 - i am not eating alot now - i think it is my mind that is scared of overeating. i also start to get a sensation in my left shoulder when i think i have eaten too much... does anyone else experience this?

thats all for now! have a great week everyone.

I do get pain in my left should when I overeat. I had this prior to being banded. Now it's a sure fire sign I better stop! So glad you had a good weekend and that your family is SO supportive! Way to go!
