Greetings! Surgery takes place April 22, 2008. I am excited, to say the least. I've lived in Louisville most of my life. Married to my sweetheart whom I first met when we were four years old!!! I'm enjoying being on the boards and looking forward to a great summer. Only 2years until retirement!!!on June 12, 2008 12:47 pm
A funny thing happened on the way to the 220's. I am now going back and forth between 230 and 232! YIKES!!! I was going back & forth between 234-236 for days, so hopefully I will soon switch over to the 220's. I want so much to loose the weight this summer. Yes, I feel better, yes, I'm into a smaller bra, yes I'm getting into clothes I haven't worn for a couple of years but I want to go to the next level- the scale going down, and getting out of the Women's Dept. Two weeks from today, June 26, I will have my 1st fill. Maybe I will turn the corner then. Until then, I'll keep movin' and I'll keep watching carefully what I eat and I will keep the hope, the faith and the determination that I WILL get down to under 200 pounds by Christmas. Amen.
First it was "So long 250's", then "So long 240's" and now, the first of June, I'm about to say, "So long 230's"! What a great feeling- especially after being stuck for a couple of weeks between 234-236. Those same 2 pounds were starting to get to me. But now, school's out for the summer- less stress and more time to exercise. I LOVE IT! By the time we leave on vacation in 4 weeks, hopefully I'll be saying, "Toodleloo 220's". 230.4 lbs. this morning. Hooray!
One month has gone by since my lap band surgery. Overall, things have gone very well. I was down 24 pounds and clothes are fitting better the next size down, but this week has been a little discouraging. It seems I gain back two pounds, loose them, gain them back, etc. I realized a few days ago that without any restriction, I can eat most anything! YIKES! My first fill will not take place until the end of June, so until then I'm going to have to do a better job making the right choices. As a teacher, I'm excited about having a few weeks off from school (tomorrow is last day with students) 
- more time to exercise, de-stress and concentrate on going in the right direction weight-wise. I may be a Chorus teacher, but these days, I'm definitely with the BAND! Peace.
