Time flies - It's so hard to believe that it was only 2 years ago this week that I started my pre-op liquid diet.  Life has had it's ups and downs, but overall I'd have to say it's been amazing...

Love, Love, Love my Lapband - Today is Dip Day at work.  Every month for birthdays the group decides to do something.  This month it was decided to have a Dip Day.  My tummy & my brain have never communicated w...

Fire Drill at work - I used to dread these.  There are 7 floors in our building.  I'm on 6.  Knees, ankles & low back used to hurt just getting down the stairs.  Going up?  imagine about 450 people all...

3 wks out from partial unfill - So a partial unfill and a vacation to the South?  Not a good combination.  It was a practice in self-control.  I wouldn't say I flunked, but definitely in the "C" category.  Put on...

Setback? Or an opportunity? - Last few months have been odd off and on for my restriction.  I could make a bunch as guesses as to why... hormones? Allergies with sinus issues? Who knows?  Confession time: I...

11 pounds from One-derland!!! - So weird to see a number on the scale like the 209 I saw on Sunday.  I actually got on & off the scale a few times just to make sure it wasn't wrong.  11 more pounds and I'll be ou...

Just a thought... - I used to think my bathtub was too small.  Then I found out I was too big! We get to telecommute a few days a week.  I'm sitting up here in my special office chair my hubby got ...

Change Change Everywhere There's Change - And I am having a hard time dealing with it.  Mom was in the hospital for three nights.  I work in insurance.  Hospitals just don't keep people that long if they're not worried...

Scheduling my free facial - Next goal? - I want to do non-food rewards for big goals.  Like I noted in my last entry, I was going to do a facial for breaking 250lbs, but then I talked myself out of it - like, "I really sh...

Absolutely, totally, 100% Stunned!!!!! - I don't know. This stuff just doesn't happen to me!  When I got my band, I promised myself a treat when I broke 250lbs.  I wanted a "facial".  Just always thought it'd be cool.  25...
