Yay! I see status updates again!

I went to weigh myself this morning and my scale was broken. It was nice to be able to just replace it at the local store rather than have to order one that could handle 400+ online.

I'm in Georgia visiting family this week so if I'm not around here much, that's why.

It's official. Since getting into regular sized clothes, I'm a shopping addict.

I have lost 12 inches around my rib cage. I've gone from a 54 bra to a 42!

I had an awesome NSV tonight. I actually sat with my legs crossed!! I didn't even realize it at first until I looked down and went "holy sh*t!" First time in over 18 years!! YAY!!!

Finally in Georgia, was 110 degrees yesterday. I don't know how you southerners live like this lol

Ok the full moon isn't until tomorrow night. So what the heck is the excuse for the insanity I'm seeing everywhere today? lol

The bad thing about being a night owl is, I always end up with a growling tummy and hungry by midnight. But I won't eat after 8pm so per usual, I'm toughing it out 'til morning.

I have no idea how, but I lost 8 pounds last week. WOW

Made an appointment with the orthopedic specialist to get my knee checked out. This being unable to walk sucks and is seriously bumming me out.

I officially weigh less than when I got pregnant with my daughter almost 19 years ago. I also weigh less than when I graduated high school. I love my band!!

I really hate plateaus. I have a very definite cycle of losing followed by a plateau going on, so much so I wasn't even shocked when I stopped losing the last 2 weeks. This too shall pass.

I miss the warm weather. I feel like I woke up in October, not August.

I lost a pound despite the emergency surgery and complete unfill of my band. I'm pretty happy about that!

I tried on the pants I wore into my band surgery 15 months ago. I can literally fit my whole body in one leg! LOL!

Holy cow I'm so tired. I definitely see a nap in my near future.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but for the first time in my entire life I'm joining the gym with my daughter. Should be interesting!

Cooked a huge dinner for 8 people today and it was great. While I didn't bother counting calories, I'm not worried. I listened to my body and simply stopped eating when I was not longer hungry. I think I ate 1/4 of what I ate in previous Thanksgivings. I love my band!

I'm crossing my fingers, but I think the fill I had yesterday was "it". I was able to go from lunch til dinner without any hunger. I feel positively stuffed from very little food.

I definitely need a fill tomorrow. Ugh.

Well I'm back in the hospital. Not only is the abdominal hernia acting up but apparently I have a gallbladder full of stones, too. My blood pressure keep dropping too. It's currently 90/53 and I have low potassium. I seriously have no idea what's going on and waiting for my doc. Prayers are welcome!

Happy and Blessed Easter to all!

I'm realizing how important the compression garments after a tummy tuck. Just in the time it takes to have a shower I swell up a lot but the compression binder brings the swelling right back down. I don't like wearing it but it's definitely doing it's job.

I took my daughter prom dress shopping today. As I was lacing up the back of her gown, I saw myself in the mirror and it hit me "wow you're not a fat chic anymore". I'm still very curvy and chubby but it actually shocked me to see my own reflection and not think "ugh so fat!"
