I am not a happy Celeste today

First of all the nurse that did my wound care was nice but wasn't following protocol. Oh well, will make sure the nurse does it right this weekend. Second of all I think I found another location that is becoming infected. I don't know what to do about it, well I do know, but I don't want to go to the Doctors and get put under, nor do I feel like having myself put through the local and a scalpel again. I keep thinking, maybe there is a way I can clear it before I have to suffer through more.

 

Though I am appreciating the way the lap band is helping me, I am also very frustrated because I am not dropping any sizes. The weight is coming off but the clothing size is staying the same. I am agitated because I can not actually go to the gym and start toning. UGH, I just need a break.

The size change will come. We all lose our weight in areas that are unique to our body. I tend to lose on top first. My "hips" and "thighs" tend to lose the weight last. Therefore, it take me a while to change my pant size. I am just about 4 months out and have lost 46 lbs. Just give it time and keep reminding yourself that this is a journey and it will take time. I tell myself that daily. I did not get heavy overnight. I can't expect to get thin overnight!

Good luck in getting your infections taken care of....that can be scary. You are already doing a great job and losing weight. Keep up the great job!
