The Holiday Challenge
230 - up 2 lbs. Indulged, too much salt for the last 2 days (eating out) AND needing a fill. Not a good combination. Called for a fill app't and they won't see me until next week. Unfortunately, I'm out of town that day. So I wait another week. Gotta grin and bear it. I CAN do it!

Checking in at 232 - one lb lost. Didn't make goal but any weight lost is good in my book! See y'all for the holiday challenge!

The Turkey Challenge
Checking in - I'm the same this week - 233. But with last weeks drop, I'm not unhappy. Besides, it's just added incentive to behave this week. We'll be in DE with son and daughter-in-law and beautiful grand daughter. They are having Thanksgiving dinner at church so the temptations will be myriad! Let me tell you, those Mennonite ladies can cook! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Realize vs Lap-Band
I was given a choice and the only thing I noticed (and like) is the port on the Realize is not sewn in and is thinner. I actually gave my surgeon permission to choose which one he thought was best for me. He gave me the Realize band and I am very happy with it.
