Great post!

BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep! Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed. I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yorgurt. For dinner me and Fun Boy had a greek yogurt. Beleive or not this keep fill until 830 this morning. Anyway I finally found my port on my own! It is funny how the little things bring me enjoy! God is good Thanks for reading.

Bring a extra pillow for the ride home, phone charger, things to keep you entertain I brought my nook, my Nintendo DS, and a crossword puzzle. If you can wear buttoned up or zipped up hoodie. I wish I did because it was painful changing clothes. Good luck to you

Happy Wednesday How is everyone? I know I haven’t been on here much lately but I’ve been really busy at both jobs. My new work hours have been a real adjustment for me. It has been challenging but I think I have getting the hang of it. I will say this planning my meals has really helped because it eliminates the temptation of me eating fast food and eating junk food at the day care. The Day Care is my trigger because I am surrounded by cakes, cookies, and chips. A few weeks ago I noticed me eating item more often. This is not good because I am still a t plateau. So one week I started bringing salad and Greek yogurt to the day care. So I started sharing my meals Fun Boy (my nephew). So he now loves Greek yogurt. Last week Snowmagendon hit the Mid-west again so I had left a salad at the day care since my sister 2 kids at the day care I told her go ahead and get them my salad. The kids loved the idea and they started bragging to the other day care kids about my famous salad. After taking to the parents and my sister we decided to have salad 2 days an week for snack. Each time the kids will add something new to the salad or we will buy a fruit or veggie they never had before. So far this has been a success! My only complaint is they kids a drowning their salads with ranch dressing! Will be wrong if I replace the Hidden valley ranch with a healthier version of a ranch dressing? I am just happy my day care kids are enjoying salads now even though they are going thru to bottles are ranch dressing! This is why I love them. I wonder what I can get hooked on now??? Even though I am still at a plateau I love my band! God is good Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the suggestion I will have to check this out.

About how many ounces would a California roll be? I'm always looking for different options. According the resturant website there is 140 calories in 4 rolls but I am going to have 3 and have them add avocado.

I usually order 3 califorina rolls with brown rice and just chew chew chew and chew. I am terrfied of having a stuck episode so I don't push myself I think 3 calliforina rolls is enough. Beside there is 39 calories in a serving of Sake! Need to make some room for that.

Today is going to be a long day. I have support group tonight and my bestie is taking me out for our annual V-day dinner. We are having protein! I mean sushi! And.... SAKE! Anyway my boss is away and I am going work out during lunch . You want to join me here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoN_rvyeG0Y. Walk away the 4 mile walk! We can do this!

Happy Tuesday everyone. It's cold over here in the midwest and the main office door has been stuck all morning. Guess who office is right by the main door? Yours truly so I've been letting everyone in the building. I will definitely reach 10,000 steps today by 4pm. I just love working out at work!

This will be good information to know I have a cousin stationed down there and I wouldn't mind checking out local support groups when I come see her for two weeks in April

Happy Sunday Funday Last year I was playing the Super bowl the drinking game. This year I will be playing Super Bowl the exercise game. Here are the rules of the game for every touchdown it 10 jumping jacks. For every sack it is one push up. Every time out or reviewing I will run in place. If the Broncos win I will have a rest day because I know they got this. Feel free to join me.

Happy Monday everyone! I have been so busy I haven't had time to check in with everyone. I wanted to share this story with everyone so I will try not to bore you! When I started my lap band journey I only told my family and my best friends. As I got more comfortable I started telling everyone! Today a fellow co worker came up to me and told me that he is getting the lap band because I inspired him. I was shocked but I was so happy for him. We had this conversation before. He asked me questions and I told about my journey. But I always told him "my journey will be different from yours." I am proud to say that I am happy that I was able to inspire someone to live a healthier lifestyle. I don't think I say this enough but I am thankful for this site and everyone on this site. You guys inspire me to do better and for that I thank you! So take time to inspire someone today and maybe that person will pay it forward. God is Good! Thanks for reading!
