Well today was the beginning of solids for me.. I started my day off with a whole wheat muffin and scambled eggs... then a little taco soup... My husband and I have not been out since April... Today we went to see "That's My Boy"... it was so funny. I wasn't even tempted to eat some of his HUGE bucket of popcorn... later we went out to On the Border... I had the grilled fish tacos, refried beans and grilled veggies. I decided not the eat the taco shells, just had the fish and veggies... everything went down nicely with no problems. I was full after one taco and a spoon of beans... the hardest thing was not drinking while eating...but other than that, I had a great time... life goes on!!!

Hungry!!
· babydumplin1968 · 05/31/2012 14:56
Well I'm six days post-op... still a having a little soreness whenever I bend, but not too much pain. Today was my first day back at work. So far things are ok except for the hunger. I started noticing yesterday, that after I have a few sips of soup, I start to feel really full... then about 10 minutes later, I'm starving. I start having mushies next week, God I hope that helps...

Curves
· babydumplin1968 · 06/28/2012 02:26
Officially started my exercising routine.... I started curves today. It looked pretty simple at first... but man!!! I am really out of shape. The 80 year old woman next to me, put me to shame. It took a while, but I think I got it now. Sitting at home, thinking about how my life has changed over the last few weeks. No more pigging out with my friends, no more sitting around eating and watching tv. I am truly loving my Life right now. Dr. appointment tomorrow, not really looking forward to getting a fill, maybe I won't need one.

All Smiles
· babydumplin1968 · 06/21/2012 01:59
School is out.... summer time is just wonderful. love the kiddos but I so needed a break. I decided to do a little cleaning. As I sorted through some of my clothes, I noticed that most of them were too big. So what's a girl to do? What else is there but to shop!!! I went into the store to try on a few things and WOW... A size 14 regular pant suit... It fit perfectly even the jacket... Although I have only lost 25 pounds the inches are really melthing away... I am thanking and praising God for the little things!!!

Some People !!!!!!
· babydumplin1968 · 05/16/2012 20:32
Getting some strange looks from folks after they found out that I was having lap-band surgery... Just because I'm not 300lbs over weight... does't mean that I am not OVER-WEIGHT... just had to vent for a minute... back to work...Remembering that this time is all about Me and My health...not the opinions of others...

Staying Strong
· babydumplin1968 · 05/11/2012 17:01
This has been a very trying week for me.... I never really realized the depth of my addiction to food... The PTA has been celebrating Teacher Appriciation all week long... so there have been snacks in my box everyday this week and they have provided us with lunch including desserts.... today when I entered the lounge... there was a large spread of pastas and pies.... I was soo tempted to just take a small sample of all of the goods... but instead, I decided to come back to my class and Blog... while drinking my protein shake... all is good though... I am feeling stronger already.. Thanking God for Blessing me with the strength resist temptation....
