I was reading my journal. I haven't added an entry in a while. It was quite fun reading my thoughts just after being banded. I was reading my daily meals too, funny I wasn't making very good choices back then. I had cookies for dinner one day... jeesh.

I make much much healthier choices these days. I should keep more of a log of my food. I tried on fitday, however it is so hard to find matches for foods that it got frustrating.

Just ran my numbers. I am down to a BMI of 29. That was nice to see. I have been up since 5am. I don't normally wake up until 10am on Sat.

I want to make breakfast however my family is still asleep. If I grab a small snack it would be my breakfast, so I have no choice but to wait for them to wake up.

I am going in for a fill next week. I can't wait! Oh, and I also just took measurements and I went down 7 3/4" in the month of December. Such a great feeling. I remember browsing the site before surgery wishing I could already have results like people on here. Within a blink of an eye here I am reaping the rewards of my journey.

I love my band!!!!! I want to shout it from roof tops that I LOVE MY BAND!!!

hi,

congrats on your loss (and your better food choices). i still make some doozies ..

i tried fitday and didnt really like it either so i went to myfooddiary.com. they do charge 9 or 10 a month, but it really helps me out. they have TONS of food in their library - even restaurants, etc...

the one negative i have found though is it gives me a red frown if i eat less than 1000 calories ... i rarely eat above 1000 cals so i get lots of red frowns ...

but anyway, i am not affiliated w/ them at all, just like their product.

good luck and keep up the awesome job!!!

Nice journal entry, I needed to read a positive entry. I'm ready to be banded, but a little nervous.

Hi. thanks Sheila and losingjusme for your comments.

I read that most people are nervous before surgery, Sheila, so that is definitely normal.

I also just figured out that you can add your own food in fitday.com. Realizing that has made my experience with them much better. After my fill I was talking about, it was a little too tight and for two days before I went in for a slight unfill I ate under 170 calories both days. I wonder what face I would have gotten on myfooddiary.com. LOL.
