Where Did I Go?

Sorry I haven't been around.  Life got really busy and I have done nothing but work and sleep lately.  I am a full fledged member of the "No Fun" Club.  Things seem to be slowing down a bit, so I can get back to paying attention to blogging and other support/aftercare types of things.

During this crazy time, I decided to get a fill and try to drop some weight for an upcoming family wedding in July.  Some of you are probably wondering why I needed a fill.  I am up a few pounds from last year's mono.  They took out some fluid and I never got it back.  So, time to drop about 20 pounds in order to look good in all my clothes.  The fill went well and I obeyed my surgeon's post fill rules.

I don't eat much right now.  I am glad I have been so busy because I have passed through the phase where I would be looking for food.  When you are working through your lunch, you don't have time to be naughty.  I did plan.  I brought protein bars with me so there would be no temptation to go and buy milkshakes or fast food.  I am not hungry.  Small portions work just fine for me and I have been able to get in my water.  By the way, I tried that new water enhancer called MIO.  It is good!  The berry/pomergranite is my favorite, but the tropical punch is good too.

The good news:  I am down 10 pounds in a month!  WAHOO!  I should be able to make my goal by the July Wedding. 

The point: I have had my band for 12 years.  It hasn't stopped working and I know that as long as I follow the rules, I will ALWAYS be successful!
