What a ride!

Aug 22, 2010

Well, I got down to 124 a while ago and stayed there for a very long time. Everyone was telling me that I was toooo skinny! I felt pretty good and I felt my best. 2 Mondays ago I went to my lap band doctor to get my band losened. I weighed in at 127 with all my clothes on and a belt. I was so proud of my success and so was my doctor!! YAY! I had 1 and 3/4cc taken out of my band and headed out for a celebatory dinner with my husband. I had a cup of chili and a small side salad, it was SO good! =)

The next day I started to swell up  and gained 12 lbs in LITERALLY 4 days and did so for the next week and a half. It was actually pretty scary for me. The swelling finally started to all but stop on Saturday. I went to the doctor and he thinks the best explanation is that because I was not able to drink or hold dow much food for so long that my body just retained water because I was finally able to drink a whold lot more.

I got up to 139 but now I'm back down to 130 and I have my "monthly". I'm hoping to get back to the 120s as soon as my period is over and bet back to walking and working out!!  I was walking and working out a lot the last few weeks but took a small break to see if that helped with the swelling. I'll get back to the gym tomorrow. =)

Here is a picture of me at 124 that was taken July 31st at our family reunion.
