What did you do?

That is the question that I just asked myself as I was leaning over the bathroom sink vomiting. "what did you do?" I was banded 12/30/10, I am not going to say the journey has been easy, but it has been worth it! This is a lifestyle change, I am still trying to figure out what I can and can't eat. You have to slow down, chew, and really think when you eat. Next time you are out, sit back and observe those around you, watch how fast they eat, they aren't even thinking about what or how they are eating. So back to the question, "what did you do?" answer is I saved my own life, I saved a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. Each time I question myself "is this worth it?", I look at my family and say "HELL YEAH!" 46lbs down and 50lbs to go.

Yeah for you Amy but so sorry about leaning over the sink. That part is tough but we all go thru it because we just have to have that last bite and then your too full. Our surgery dates are one day apart and I am down 55lbs and lots more to go and when that person that you have not seenin a while says ....wow, you have lost weight, you look good..........yep, it is worth it. And when you can bend over just to cut your toe nails, yep it is worth it....and so on and on and on. This week was the first week that I did not loose a any weight but that is ok, I will work harder for the next weigh in day.......Fridays.

I have 5.5cc and I think I am at my sweet spot because I have lots of restriction. I eat yogurt first thing in the morning and I have to eat it slow because it gurgles on the way down. My husband says I sound like a clogged drain. It does make lots of noise....LOL Have a good day and think skinny and yes it is worth it.

I had another fill on 5/23, I think it is a bit too much, it was fine when I left but more times then not i end up in the bathroom. I am too stubborn to go back any earlier then my next appointment on 6/27 to have an unfill. I hope my stubborness doesnt cost more in the end. As long as liquids can make their way down I think i will be ok?? Maybe I will try the yogurt, all i know is that my brain hasnt caught up with my tummy cause sometimes my head would love to be able to sit down like all these other people and clean my plate......but then the lapband brain kicks in and says see you dont need all that. I am the one walking out of the establishment feeling good while the others are overstuffed and miserable. For the first time in a very long time I can cross my legs, i see bones that I didnt know i had lol, fit into a size 16 that i havent seen since before kids, and finally weigh less than my husband!! One last thing, it hit me the other day, what happens when i have met my goal? oh my it will then be up to me to maintain it on my own, SCARY.
