I was really scared about Thanksgiving, wondering what kind of damage I would do.  But actually I could hardly get anything down that day, it was a "tight" day, which helped me out.  Though I did eat a bunch of sweet potatoes...yummy, my favorite!  

I usually am a scale-hog, but since I was staying at my parents, I had no choice but to keep off the scale.  I was kinda scared when I got home and was about to get on the scale.  But it turns out, I had lost 4 pounds!  So as of today, I have lost additional pound.  My short term goal of 10 pounds before my next Dr. appt on the 7th looks like it will be met!!!  Woo hoo!!!

I got my 3rd fill last Tuesday, on the 9th, and since then, I've really felt the restriction.  Even the crap that I was able to eat before, I can't seem to get down.  Though it can be hard at times, it's helping me.  Since last Tuesday, I've lost 5 pounds.  Hopefully the scale will keep going in that direction!  I have been working out more, cycling and walking.  I can tell that is helping because it is getting easier for me...I guess it's time for me to lengthen my time.  I'm not complaining!

The reunion was fun, I had a good time.  A lot of the people looked the same, and it was good to see everyone.  When I get the pics, I will post them.

For my exercising, yesterday I started doing TaeBo.  Dang, I forgot how hard that is, and it's only the beginners video!  I'm gonna continue that, since the weather creeps up everyday.  They said it was 108 yesterday in the shade.... 

In two days I will have my 10  year high school reunion....how fun!  I'm successful...but fat.  I have been trying to stick with the excerising, but it's kinda hard to bike ride or walk in 105 degree weather.  Or maybe it's just me!  Hopefully all will be ok, I'm just dreading it because I'm not where I'm suppose to be.  In a month, I am still where I was.  This is harder than I thought.  Recently I have been craving salty foods like crazy, and you know what that means...water retention.  I hope this weight starts coming off soon, this is crazy!  I'll let you know how the reunion goes

I'm not in pain anymore, but I am getting my appetite back, which got me scared!  Some people told me that I was experiencing "Bandster Hell", so it made me feel a little better to know that I wasn't the only one that was going through this.  I was starting to think..."this isn't working!!!"  I have gained 3 pounds as well...to add to the depression.  I hope that it all changes when I get my fill on the 23rd.  I am trying my hardest to stick to small portions and good-for-you food.  I must confess.....blue bell icecream has been taunting me, which I have given in several times.......uuuhhhgggg.  But I have put small notes on the fridge, in the freezer and on my tv saying stuff like, "No icecream" or "Think about it...NO!!!"  Sad, I know!

Hi to all,

I had my Lap Band surgery last week, 6/19/07.  I'm still pretty sore, the port is extremely sensitive.  I'm back to work, but really working half days this week.
