Hello family,

So, went and got a fill yesterday afternoon, .6cc's. Hopefully this does the trick. I was avoiding go to the Dr., because I knew I had put back on a few pounds since December. Well, officially, I had re-gained 10 pounds. I was sooooooooooo embarrassed. I told the Dr., that I have realized the error of my ways. I was still eating dessert (finding a way to eat around the band). Stay away from cookies people, they go down extremely easy, they also pack on the pounds just as easy.

Now, let's start with the drama. I work in Los Angeles, and the DR's office is in Westwood (not too far away, maybe 15 miles). My appt was at 3:45, so I left work at 2:45 (figuring I would get there early and they would see me early). I took short cuts, went around a few freeways until I finally got to the 405, trying to avoid the mid day traffic...Why in the hell did it take me 50 minutes to go 15 miles.. This is ridiculous. I told him to never, ever, never, ever set another appt for this time of the day. I hate being late or rushing, and yesterday, I was both... Woosa! Now that I've gotten that out of the way

With that said, I am on my way for good, to the green spot. I set up my next appt for August 7, 2009. I am anxious to see what my results are going to be like. I have promised myself that I am not going to weigh myself until I go back. I want to be surprised, besides we all know you lose inches before pounds anyway. I'm definitely on the right track. My clothes are a little bit looser..

Check back with you in a couple of days, my bandster family

*Hope this helps someone along their journey*

I need to make that same committment (only weighing at the doctor) I am not kidding, i weigh 3-5 times a day. it is insane.How do you handle the hundreds of people who ask you a week how much you have lost over and over and over?

I think we've all been where you are. I love my sweets too! Dust yourself off and start again. Sounds like you're getting back on track!

I just tell them it's a work in progress. Most people that ask have a weight problem themselves (so they seem to understand), the only difference is, we've made a choice to do something about it and they haven't

It took me a minute to figure out that you can't continue to eat some of the things you know you shouldn't eat (rather banded or not), but I've got it know
