  1. Support group day

    Went to support group today. Always nice to come home from there feeling motivated and believing that my goals are attainable. Talking to others who have similar struggles helps me to see that I am not the only one who slips and has highs and lows. Go to the Doc tomorrow and anxious to see what he says about the upper GI test that I had last week. Was told by a friend that if my pouch looks distended or stretched out that he will remove all my fluid and start me over again. I hope that doesn't happen and is not the case. I am looking to get a fill hopefully.
  2. Woo Hoo It's Friday

    Thank God for the weekend! Now I just have to find ways to stay busy and not over eat over the weekend. Banding definately doesn't take away the love of eating that is for sure. Speaking of which last week was my birthday and I was on vacation. I go in to work today and my boss has baked a yellow cake with the sweetest gooey icing she could have made. I ate the cake. Next week will be 15 months since I have been banded. Down 59 pounds and I am happy with my progress but still have 80 to go. Not a 50 yard dash but more like a marathon. Have to tell myself that slow and steady is better.
     
    Tune in later for my next day's worth of thoughts and experiences.
