Good news/Bad news

OK... good news first...... 10 more pounds and I have made it to 100 pounds lost. I can do this!!

 

Bad news.... had 1 cc removed from my band today. It was so tight I couldnt get liquids down, and it is too hot to wait out the water retention cycle at the risk of dehydration. And I was stuck besides!! I do have to say it was a gigantic relief and the funniest thing was hearing the water gurgle from my pouch to the stomach..... kinda like when you unplug a drain!!

 

That will make the next 10 pounds a little tougher, especially because I would like it off in the next two weeks..... my original goal was to make 100 pounds before my boyfriend comes home from Alaska. But, he surprised me and he is coming home in 16 days.... a month ahead of his original schedule!!! So..... I will be working harder than ever at the gym in the next two weeks! Yikes!!!

    Hey you never know..when you are too tight it isn't good so sometimes getting a little unfill will is all you needed to jumpstart a nice steady loss...In my case I have to eat in order to lose weight so I am going to say some prayers for you! I want you to be at 100 when you boyfriend gets there!!! You go girl!! 90 lbs is awesome!!

    Congrats I lost more after I got an Un-fill just keep doing what you have been doing and do not give in to any head hunger. I lost 15 more pounds after a slight adjustment and I had been at a plateau for months. You can do this. Best wishes imaluckydog

    Thank you so much!!! It does me good to know that the weight loss will still happen afterward. A good night's sleep with no acid reflux was even better!! Ten pounds is not a difficult goal, so I am just going to work hard at it..... of course I will have to leave some time for shopping too because I almost literally have NO clothes that fit properly anymore. :)
