Dear Scale, we need a break!Our morning rendevous are no longer serving me. I really need to cut back to once a week. I appreciate your role in my life as necessary. But everyday is not! See you again on Friday.

Crossing off some professional goals from my list! New year, new body, new attitude?? All of the above has helped me and has been the ingrediants to catapult this success!

I think I hit the 40 pound mark today!! If the scale says this tomorrow...I will change my weight tracker. Woo hoo!

I am pretty sure this last fill put me in the green zone! I am pretty happy about that. Whew...what a difference!

Since losing my "winter weight", I am cold all the time. C'mon Florida....I need some warm weather already!

Spoke too soon a few weeks ago....heading for another fill next week. Dear Lapband God's....please let this give me the restriction I need!

There is nothing worse than "bandster hell"...except going through it again! Looking forward to my fill on Monday. Port replacement surgery totally pushed me back to white knuckling it!

The Wizard of Oz really ends up being YOU! Like he told Dorothy, "You have had the power to return home all along." There is no magic with the surgery. It will help you stay "not hungry" with less food. It's up to us to eat small portions, make better choices, add in exercise when your body is ready, etc.

It is hard to eat WELL while camping! I see a very clean eating week in my future!

I am cranky, cranky pants today. Not sure why...just am!

I am feeling very good this week. Happy and successful!

Today I am hungry! 3-4 hours between meals is getting harder. I can get a fill in a few weeks. I am following the rules...but they are getting hard as I become hungry.

Pain meds, swelling from my port revision surgery is not helping my scale this week! Ugh!

Today I realized that I need to be proud of what I have accomplished "to-date". Not to be branded successful at goal. There are so many daily accomplishments I can be proud of today!

Hit the Big 50 pounds today! I am a happy camper.

Alex just sent me a message wishing me a Happy 1 Year Anniversary on the forum. What a difference a year makes.

Even though I have already made a lifetime committment to this process. A wedding I will be attending in August is a good short term motivator! Bring on a hot dress!

Got my first fill today! Woo hoo!

Still recovering from port replacement surgery. The scale does not like the recovery. I am still retaining fluids and taking pain meds. I will be glad when I can get back to doing what I have been doing .

I am cranky today. Makes me want to eat. Just living in cranky. Not sure why I am cranky! Blech!

Lately, I have been struggling with the attention my weight loss has brought on. The..wow's you look great....or OMG you are wasting away. My mind is grateful for the compliments but my "old fat girl self" is so sad that I must have looked terrible to get this type of reaction. I want to hug that girl and apologize to her.....tell her that I didn't mean to get her that way. Such a psycological transformation!

Not feeling well today. Just very tired......achy....overall blah!

Purchased some new Zumba dvd's. This is bringing out my inner Puerto Rican Princess!

Woo hoo! Got a fill today and I hope this takes me out of my second round of Bandster Hell!

I am amazed at how the lapband has not only transformed my body but more so...my mind!
