It has been thee weeks since I last wrote anything here on my Blog.....shame on me because I know that I will not remember the last few weeks if I do not write it down so here goes.

The last two weeks have been interesting! I have not lost much only a few pounds. I am down 30 pounds since my surgery and I thought I would have been closer to 40 by now, I am not complaining I am just disappointed in myself and let me tell you why.

I like a lot of bansters have tried going back to some of my old treats like the one in mind is Wine. I love to have a glass or two and it is a way of unwinding but those glasses or even at times a entire bottle is just so many empty calories and this makes me believe that I have been hindering my weight loss instead of helping! I am going to go on a no Alcohol regime for a while and see how that is. Also I have not been on my treadmill since last Sunday and that is also something that will help with the inches coming off. After my 2nd adjustment or fill I was hoping for more restriction which I did get for about 2 1/2 weeks but now I am ready again for adjustment number 3. I like so many other blogs that I read am not real sure what I am feeling at the time of the fill so I am not sure if I am getting the max fill or if I am just getting a so so fill after all it is Me who is letting the Doc know if it feels right or not. What or Where or When Is the Sweet Spot?:thumbup:

Now for any of you who might be reading this, I want you to know that this is not a BooHoo note to myself this is just a reminder that I, Cheryl, Need to be working a lot harder and to stop goofing around. I know what I need to do and I better start doing it. Also just a side note......I am still having trouble with the Free Air since surgery. It has now settled down near my bladder and makes me feel uncomfortable, the sharp pains have subsided and I am thankful for that.

All in All I am a very thankful girl for this procedure all the little weirdness are worth it in the long run. Heres to being down 40 pounds by my Birthday!

30 pounds is awesome!!! Here's to 40...what a great birthday present! You can do it...fill by fill! -BG

Tig,

You are doing great. It is funny that each one of us seem to have our own little vices that sneak back up on us. It is a life long battle.

Keep up the good work.

30 pounds in 3 weeks! thats stellar! i can only hope to do as well!

Hey there, Tig!! Just read your blog and it sounds like you, Band_Groupie, and myself have been doing some inward soul-searching !! You need to read B_G blog, ride the magic band, it is really good!! She says some things that really brings things into perspective!! Hang in there!! You are doing AWESOME!!!

When did you start feeling a restriction in your band? I have had my band for almost 2 months. I've 0 restriction & I've gained 15lbs since I've had it. I get my first fill this coming week, but after all the money I spent I'm just so disappointed in myself & a little bit in the procedure that I don't know what to do.
