Down 21 lbs. since surgery

Nov 19, 2009

Hi everyone,  I know I haven't posted since 7 days after my surgery and some of you may think I don't need any support but that is not the case.  I'm just too busy and have been trying to get my butt to bed at a reasonable hour at night.  If I get on the computer, then it's all over because not only will I post but then I will browse other sites and before I know it, it's way passed by bedtime and then I regret it the next day because I'm nodding off right there at my desk where staff can see.  So I'm posting during work right now.  I have to be careful because Old HAWKEYE will tattle on me.  As she always does.

I just had my appointment with the surgeon.  I was expecting to get my first fill but he says I don't need one and my never need one.  He says I'm right on track and that I need to just continue doing, eating and drinking as I have been.  Of course that does not mean that I'm never hungry.  My head is always hungry.  But the fear of my band eroding into my stomach keeps me within my portion sizes.  I try to stay away from the bad stuff but do allow myself a little cheat sometimes.  Dr. McKee says that is fine.   I am allowed to have the unhealthy stuff once in a while but keep it within normal portions and only do it once in a while.  I have not begun to excercise yet and that is not real good either.  I could come up with many excuses but I know, THERE ARE NO EXCUSES.   I see the dietician next week and I'm sure she will shame me (in a positive way) to GET TO IT!   I have lost 21 pounds since October 6th and a total of 51 pounds since I began my weight loss journey one year ago.  I have stop for now before HAWKEYE gets back from her break.  I wish all of you the best and a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.
