6 Lbs Down In Two Weeks!

Went to the MD yesterday afternoon, and I lost 6 lbs from my last visit there on 1/16. So proud of myself! Sometime I feel like I'm not working "hard enough" at losing weight, but I guess I am because the scales don't lie!

 

Signed up for the February weight loss challenge, my goal is to lose ten pounds, let's see how it goes.

 

The MD yesterday put 2.5 ccs in a 4 cc band this is the most I've ever had in this band, and she told me I have plenty of room left to be filled, which felt wonderful. The last time the APRN put 2 ccs in and said "there's not much left from here, if you don't lose weight I'm going to have to have an RX written out for diet pills" so I think who you are working with makes a great difference. The MD is definetly more positive than the APRN (isn't how that always goes?)

 

So today, I'm on a liquid diet, Wednesday and Thursday "mushies" and Friday back to normal eating. I'm hoping I hit my sweet spot, but I won't get impatient if I don't.

 

Went to the gym last night as well, 30 minutes on the elliptical, going tonight for 35 minutes.

 

Also booked my trip to Key West we are going March 24-31, and flying directly into Key West, which I'm nervous about since I don't like to fly in the first place and the flight into Key West is going to be on a small plane!!!!! Wish me luck!

 

Have a good day everyone!

No I go to my surgeon for my fills and for a while his APRN was doing the fills (now the APRN and another surgeon, who didn't do my lap-band surgery, but did remove my gall bladder and I love her to death) do my fills. The APRN was the one who suggested the RX diet pills, her attitude is "hurry up and lose the weight"
