Ahhh....I have not blogged in a little while, so thought I should jot a few thoughts down. Today was the first day I could get on my scale and not wear the boot for my broken ankle and leg bones.....I was very excited as it said I have now lost 34 pounds! Then I put the boot back on. I am transitioning out of the boot, I either have to use crutches or the boot. I'm healing up nicely though, I am happy to say.

The lap-band is something that has now been 9 and a 1/2 weeks for me since my surgery. I am so very happy I had this done. The weight loss is very important, but feeling better is more important. My health was going down fast and I knew it. This is the only way I found to gain control again of myself and my body. It is working!!!!

Today is the first day I have had a PB which mean "Productive Burp"; I have on a couple of occasions hurt after eating, but today I lost it. I ate about 8 bites of fish. It was fried from a restaurant and I had it at home, but let me tell you - I won't eat fried anymore. I will only eat baked, broiled or grilled. That is an awful feeling to have. I was told to drink lemon juice if this happens and it will break it up, well it did! Not too tasty, but it helps.

I'm going to return to my chair and The Braves game now. I'll hope that something I have said might be an encouragement to you!
