My new goal is to lose 50 lbs (wish is 100 lbs.) before work-related trip to Los Angeles for a conference. I will be traveling by airplane & am worried about fitting into the seat. Departure date is October 9th and I have already lost 20 lbs before I knew I was going on this trip. Today, I was able to weigh myself on the scale at 400 lbs even. Yeah, me!!! Now, I just have to keep on focusing on not grazing with food & go to the gym, even when I feel pooped from work.

I weighed 350.4 lbs at my 2nd follow-up appt. w/Dr. Sonnanstine. I had my first fill to my band. It was a fun experience let me tell you. After he inserted the needle & said it wouldn't hurt, it felt just like any needle stick does & I'm a nurse so I would know. He dug around for a few seconds & then said "We need the "long" needle" "We need to write it down in the chart" & "You need to remember we need to use the long needle". I thought "oh no, this is goung to hurt" but the diameter of the needle must have been smaller because I really didn't feel it the 2nd time.

In 2 days I will have my first surgery consult & when I weighed in today, my weight jumped to 408.6 lbs. I can't believe this, I have been staying true to my diet & exercise regimen. Although, I have never felt so hungry as I do now that I have decided to have surgery. Maybe the scale was wrong. I would gladly like to smash the little demon.
