Saturday Update
Oct 24, 2009
I had a crazy weekend last weekend getting back from Jersey, so I never updated. I can't remember what I weighed in at, but I think about the same as today, which was 154. Not too bad.
I got myself dehydrated on my vacation, and haven't been good about catching up. Once I got to the dehydrated stage my band tightened up quite a bit, and when it's like that, I don't get my fluids in like I should. Catch 22. I am on a mission to correct that now. I think I am at my sweet spot, but it's hard to tell when I am not eating and drinking right.
Stress is still with me, but some issues in my life are moving forward, so I know that I am working towards resolving the stress. That feels good, even though it can be painful to move forward.
I do know that I need to get back in to some kind of an exercise routine. I quit my job at Walmart, and even though I am now working OT at my job, I still have more time to try and exercise now. I can't wait for the rollercoaster to slow down, I have a feeling that it won't.

I Heart New Jersey!!

I am still in New Jersey and loving every minute of it!!!
My weekend in NYC was FABULOUS!!!! WOW!
My band has been behaving very well, I am so happy about that!! I don't know if I have gained weight, lost or stayed the same since I haven't stepped on a scale. I am not able to eat too much at a time, and have been horrible with drinking water. However, I haven't had any reflux and haven't PB'd once!! It feels like I am at my sweet spot, and I love it!!
I went to a Lap-Band support group last night. It was great!! I wish we had one like that where I live. I felt like I was able to actually provide some helpful guidance even. ha ha
I have had the privelege to meet many people from OH on this trip!! Such a great group of people!! Love it!!! I will be sad to go back home.

My Band Is Back!!!
Oct 03, 2009
I went down to El Paso on Thursday for my fill. Dr. Acosta checked and said that the ER doc took almost all of my saline out!! I knew it! I could eat ANYTHING at all! He was VERY pleased with my weightloss. He said I had lost almost 15 pounds since seeing him mid-June. That's with the weight that I have gained back this month, so not too shabby!
He filled me up CLOSE to where I was before all these problems. I was so dang happy about that!! However, now, I am feeling it might be a bit too tight again! Oh no!!! I ate very late last night and went to bed soon after. I ate a very thick and creamy broccoli and cheese soup. I had the reflux and throwing up again. *sigh* I sure hope my band isn't too damn tight!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I don't want to have to drive all the way down to El Paso again........and I won't go to the ER, that's for sure!!!
I know that my body swells very easily, and that since Dr. Acosta drained the remaining fluid and put a lot back in, that is going to cause swelling. Sooooo, trying to stick it out and be very gentle with myself. Staying on liquids for a few extra days won't hurt anything.
I had gone back up to as high as 167 pounds during some points this last month, this morning I was back down to 158. I don't think it wil take me long to get to my goal of 150! Woooo Hoooo!!! I am just worried at how tight I am. Hopefully,that's just swelling from the fill.
I am very excited about my upcoming (less than a week now) trip to the Big Apple, and I don't want ANYTHING to screw this up!!
