-3 more lbs this week! Ok, so going to the gym is really not much fun anymore. I am still going everyday, but I do find that I am really having to force myself to go. It sucks! Something else that sucks is this.... I will not be getting my band filled until the 11th of November. What does that mean? Well, the swelling is all gone now from the surgery and I do not have much, if any, restriction from food. I could eat whatever I wanted right now and it would probably pass through with no problem. It has been a struggle every day to make sure that I am making the right choices in my diet. In the past, this is where I would probably fall off my diet and go back to my old ways. This is something that you have to find the strength from within yourself to control... nobody else can make these choices for you.

Other than that, things are going well. I continue to journal every single thing that I eat and drink. This have been very helpful in keeping me accountable. I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking to loose weight. You might be suprised at how much you are really taking in once you start keeping track.

Well.. until next Wednesday..... have a great week!

About Me

My photo
I am 38 years old. I have a wonderful husband, Rudy, who supports me in everything that I do. I have a great family of supporters and of course all of my good, good friends! I love my life! In early May I decided that I am really not happy with my weight. Regardless of all the things that I have tried, nothing seems to work. Rudy and I went to an informational meeting regarding the lap band system and gastic bypass. After much research and many questions, I made the decision to have the lap band done. Having had lots of lower back issues and other health factors, I know that the time is now to do something before I get too old. I want to be able to look back at my life with no regrets. There are many things that I do not do right now because I just don't feel comfortable in my own skin. And so my wonderful journey begins..... my pre operative requirements have all been met and my surgery date is scheduled for September 25, 2008!
