Well...hmmm...where do I start...was banded on march 24, 2006...today is june 14th...I'm glad I found this spot to journal...had joined richard simmons support group on the internet, but found that it couldn't really help me because I felt that I had an advantage with the lapband...felt like I was sort of cheating, when other people on the site did not have the "tool" that I have chosen to help me loose weight...Hubby also had lapband surgery the same day I did...

It's been a long 7 months...After my accident in November 2005 where i CRUSHED and almost lost my arm all the way down from the shoulder...It has been a long battle for me...I am happy that I am now able to type...Broke my leg 2 weeks ago....so LIFE IS SUCH A CHALLENGE...I'm committing to writting in my journal my feelings...today was a little difficult...Have had an allergy attack so I am filling up my pouch with slime...I ate two oatmeal/almonds breakfast bar and latte for breakfast... a small amount of beef jerkey at lunch, and about 4 chips...became a little nauseated.....The doctor put me back on my diabetes meds today, so sort of feeling a little funny....ate some creamed english peas late this afternoon...I'm going to eat a little something soon, since I just took my shot....I am not craving food at all anymore....Thinking my fill is fine for now...am at 2cc....I have a 10cc band..Dr spiegel, houston texas my surgen....Am just a little under 200 lbs right now...I am trying not to weigh...Just eat to live and not live to eat....Learning that I have to eat, and eating is not the unpardonable sin...:clap2:
