For the last 4 months, I have been re-commited to my band without seeing any progress on the scale.  I have been going to my doc every 2-3 weeks for adjustments.  I feel like I have good restriction and I am exercising 4-5 days a week.  I can see some changes in my body but nothing is showing up on the scale.  I am so frustrated.  I know my body is getting healthier, but it seems ridiculous to not see the scale go down.  I do not want to be 200lbs!!!!

1. Eating while I am cooking dinner
2. Having a snack after dinner
3.  Eating too much at dinner
4.  Go to the gym!!
5. Eating while I am sitting at the computer!

Well, it has been 2 weeks since surgery.  Things are going very well.  The first week was great getting on the scale and losing 10lbs but the second week the scale hasn't moved.  I know I should be happy, most of the time it is always going up so having it stay the same is not a failure.  I must have lost the swelling because I am hungry now and able to eat much larger amounts than at the beginning BUT nothing like my portions prior to the band.  I will need to be patient, I am in such a hurry to get under the 200 mark.  I didn't gain it overnight so I can' tl lose it overnight!

I have been so excited and relaxed until this point.  I can't believe I am electing to have surgery.  I know this is right for me.  I just need to get through this week.  I can't wait to be on the losing side.
