Well, it is week 3 and I have decided to name my band.

I thought Caligula was an appropriate name it actually means "little boot" but I thought it was fairly appro for my "little band".

So Caligula and I are moving on. It has been slow go since the banding I have only lost 14 lbs. I know in the past I would have been exstatic with 14 lbs in 3 weeks but no more. I want it all.

I know I need to be patient. Even my doctor said I would not see a significant amount of loss until after my first fill which is in 3 weeks. He wants me to fully heal first.

Anyway Caligula and I are moving on.

I went back to work yesterday after 3 weeks. I was ready for a nap by 2:00. But I trudged on and sat through a 3 hour meeting and put in my 8+ hours.

Today will be better. I love my job:wub:, but today all the big bosses will be in a meeting and I will not have to listen about how terrible it was while I was gone.

I guess that would explain the daily phone calls desperately seeking advice. Oh well, I'm back.

It was easier to work all day and then I was not consumed with the thought of what I was going to eat next. When I was home once the house work was done. All I did was contemplate my next bowl of soup.

Although I did create some very unusual recipes. Spaghetti soup was a craving satisfier. But it was just soup because I blended it. Yep. Noodles and all.

But yesterday teh time went by really fast and I was too busy just to think about food so I am really looking forward to being back at work assisting Caligula and I on this adventure.

So until later.

Chin up, we can do this together!!!

My band is named Phillip.

(Fill Up)

He has served me well. We have our 5 month anniversary in 2 weeks and I have lost 60. Size 12!!!

More to go....

Good luck with Caligula. Let her heal first; start moving (exercise), get those fills and watch her work!
