I think I"m going to start posting on a weekly basis just so I don't get repetitive. My weight loss has slowed now as I've figured out that I can eat real food and I've been eating anything I want (in small portions of course) out of need to eat something good. I did low carb for two weeks prior to the band and then the week after surgery I didn't eat or drink much so I guess I overdid it a bit.

I've tried everything I've felt like eating and now I need to go back to behaving myself.

Friday night I took my first bite of food which was Miso soup and two pieces of Ebi (shrimp roll with rice and wasabi soy). It was a great meal coming off of the juice and protein diet!)

Saturday morning I decided to take off my opsite bandages and my incisions turned pink within an hour or so. I've been putting neosporin on at night and mederma during the day to keep it clean and to help the scar heal. The smaller incisions are barely noticable at all. They look like a little scratch.

I am struggling with taking my Wellbutrin because I can't swallow it and it is the most bitter thing I've ever tasted. I've tried crushing it up in pudding, smoothies, juices, applesauce...bleck! It is nasty. Any suggestions? I think I might try Lemon Sorbet tomorrow because I'm starting the feel the effects of missing it for too many days.

Today I decided that I will focus on starting my own business because I'm tired of being someone else's bitch. I found out that my boss did something behind my back and I really wanted to kick him in the nads today. Definitely need my Wellbutrin

As for everything else, everyone at work welcomed me back and it felt nice that they thought about me. Several were nice enough to comment on how they could tell that I was losing. I can get into my size 20 jeans which is nice although they are still tight. If I recall correctly they fit nicely around 235 which is still about 10 pounds from now so we'll see. My fill is 10/31 so I'll see what I can lose between now and then.
