Lapband LaLa

I am feeling better and better everyday. I look at myself and see the butterfly emerging. It's wonderful. My clothes fit better - I feel better and I am not shying away from the camera anymore. I had a gig this week and I let the photographer snap away. What's funny is I know I am not where I want to be but I know it's coming. (see my attached photo from the gig) Here's something to ponder......why is it when you are going up the scale you run from the camera? However....when you are going down it's the same number on the scale as when you go up but it's a totally different outlook? I remember hitting 250 going up and crying....now I see 250 and I run to hubby for a photo! (ha) This week I worked out four days instead of five because of my gig, but I feel like I need to workout one more day so I am going to get on the treadmill tonight. The chat room has been down for two days now and I feel lost without my friends. I love this site! I go for my 2nd fill this Tuesday. I hope I get some restriction!:tongue_smilie:I still get a little hungry between meals but I just ignore it. I'm making progress so it's a small price to pay. I just drink water to help combat it. I currently have 2.5cc in my 10cc band. Hope they give me an additional 2.5cc this week.

which scale did you get...in the market for a good one

I am a Realtor in Denver, CO as well as a Singer! How's that for a combination!

Oh that burns me up! Cheating my patootie! This is not the easy way out? Who would want to put themselves though all this if it was not one of the last hopeful options out there. Ok...so is fertility cheating? Is hair extentions cheating? Is teeth whitening cheating...NO! We just want to be healthy and live a productive life! I grew up FAT, I've dieted my whole darned life. I have lost and regained this weight a million times over. I am not cheating....I choose to live my life without stares, glares, comments, snickers, aches and pains, disease, high blood pressure......blah blah blah AND YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!! WE ARE ALL WORTH IT! Ok...so maybe my PMS got the best of me tonight!

Wow, it's been six weeks and I am so very happy with my decision. I am down 30lbs and feeling fantastic. I really feel that when the scale keeps going down it will be the last time I will see that number. I have had one fill and I am looking forward to my second one on July 14th. I get a little hungry in between meals but nothing that is making me climb the walls. I bought two pair of shorts! Hey I am not at my goal but heck, why not? Haven't been in shorts in about five or six years. I am loving life and marking things off of my bucket list. I have checked into my Harley Davidson Riding class and bellydancing classes. This time next summer...boom chicka boom!:confused3:
