A year since my last post

I really can't believe it has been a year since I updated my blog - but now that I feel pretty "normal" thinking of the lapband isn't something I do very often. I am still no where NEAR skinny - but I can shop in normal stores and I don't feel huge anymore. I am pretty happy with myself! I would love to lose 25 more pounds - but as it is - I maintain my weight and I don't have to worry or think about what I am eating - nor do I have to exercise. I hope to get back to working out - I felt better when I did. I know it is all about priorities and mine are just focused on enjoying life. I do have a fab announcement - I got a Spyder! I got my license and go everywhere on it. Love my bike!

 

Hope all is well in bandland!

How often do you see your surgeon? Do you feel restricted still? What do you typically eat in a day, how often etc...

I haven't seen my surgeon in probably a year - I have a fill that is as close to perfect as I can get. I am one of the odd ones that my band is super tight in the morning - I can only have liquids for breakfast - for lunch I can eat a few bites, but only a really small amount, then at about 6:30 it is a free for all, I can eat anything in any amount. If my band is any tighter, I foam, any loser I can eat more for lunch - so Im at the best spot I can get. Breakfast I usually have milk, sometimes a protein drink, I have no hunger until around 2-3. For lunch I either do a soup at hand (love those), or ham/cheese slices, something small, usually under 200 calories, I do a similar snack later (nuts, fruit, yogurt), before supper. Then for supper I eat like I did before banded - whatever everyone else is having - I have it too. I try to eat healthier than I used to - but most of the time - its not healthy. That is why I maintain, but don't lose anymore. I stopped trying to lose about a year ago and have maintained without working at it. I am happy where I am - I didn't want to live the rest of my life worrying about every thing I put in my mouth and how many calories it has. I can do that in short spurts, but not forever. Thank God I can maintain without trying!!! I am hoping to get motivated after the holidays and get everyone I know to go on a 3 month weight loss sprint - I would like to lose some more and see if I can maintain it too!
