Oh It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

I had lunch with a LB sister this afternoon I met her in my psych class. She made for me some wonderful African Chicken with Couscous. I had no idea Couscous had so much protein? Go figure, the things I learn in a day. It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

I had my second fill today and it gets easier to have a fill. YES, it does get easier trust me!!!!

It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

My first fill took almost 20 minutes, she could not find my port and I dislike long needles poking into me and causing me pain, unless they are for sewing. It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

The LB helps me to make excellent food choices today. I am on a 48 hour liquid and soft food stage after my fill today. That is a bummer because my husband caught a 200 pound Tuna and we were going to have tuna steaks for dinner opps!! Change of plan for me. Oh well it will keep, it is that fresh. I just love a good liquid drink. LOL

It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

My son had his Twenty First birthday today so it is a special day for me too. I am starting to lose all the baby FAT remember he is 21. I have lost and gained his fat for 21 years.

It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

I am now working on losing the baby fat from my daughter. It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

It’s a Wonderful Life!!! I have taken off 50 pounds.

People who have not seen me in a while run up and say “wow you look like a different person”. I still see the fat dog in the mirror GO Figure. I put on a classy party dress last night I saved to wear one day. It cost me a small fortune, I am glad I got to wear it again. What a treat it was even a little roomy. It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

I got my band a month early and that was so exciting, June 29, 2009. I have been banded now for two months. I wake up with a smile on my face and I go to bed with a smile on my face. I eat what I like to eat. I eat slow and plan ahead. Do not drink with meals and I stay full for a long time. I eat little if any sugar. I have not had a Fresca in two months. I do not miss it any more. It’s a Wonderful Life!!!

I even saw my Doctor today and I called across the hall how much I love him. He was on his way to another patient and smiled at me and I said all I do is smile now. I was only seeing the fill nurse. But I felt I had to let him know how much he means to me. I have a happy, healthy, interesting, and exciting new life.

You rock! Thanks for the post, that keeps me going. Its like an after diner mint, but without the calories and all the enlightenment.

You go girl!

Thank you for the smile!!

My SMILE this morning is so BIG!! I feel like it starts in Boston and goes all the way to Laguna Beach California. Now that is a BIG SMILE.

Why Boston? I'm a new Red Sox fan and thanks to Big Pappy and his Homer we won last night. I never much liked sports but I find myself becoming more interested in other things now. I am not as interested in the FOOD and my past sad, food absorbed life. I have so much energy now. I was never interested in much before. My goal is to get back to skiing this winter with my family. Now that will be a big deal. I have no weight goals in numbers because I do not want to disappoint myself. I am not under 200 pounds yet but it is a matter of time. I want to feel normal and look normal. I want to thank everyone who has shared with me on this site you make me SMILE. imaluckydog Kathy

I can't believe you lost 50 lbs already! I'm 2 wks behind you and I've lost 26! Yeah, um..... totally forgot to go easy after a fill! lol but she did say soft foods, so raspberries and cheese i consider soft!!!!! ha ha

Thanks so much for being you! Its awesome!

I'm so proud of you band buddy! 50# is amazing. You sound wonderfully happy and I am thrilled for you. Can't wait for my second fill. I need to quit drinking with my meals and I would do better. I'll be inspired by you. Have a good weekend.
