Its been quite a while since I last posted and thats partly because I didn't want to own up to my bad eating habits! Yikes! Accountability is huge and its time I start realizing it.

Towards the end of my 2nd stage of pured foods, i graduated myself to solids. I discovered I could eat anything and everything and I did. I have been on such a strict diet to lose the pre-op weight and then having the surgery and doing liquids and then mush, i went crazy on solids.

No more folks! I had my first fill yesterday. I stepped on the scale and saw 204. Now, i had no idea where i was weight-wise because i also avoided the scale. 204 is not acceptable. Weird thing is that I stepped on the scale today and saw 199.

So, with the fills, i have to be on fluids for 24 hours and then can start slowly back into solids. I have to follow all the band rules to the T. Today i have had a protein shake and thats it. I am now just starting to get hungry. I can feel the liquid going down. A weird feeling.

Back on track! I am going to start following the rules, taking smaller bites, choosing better foods and up my exercising. I need to get that scale moving.
