I am still pretty tight since my fill.
Breakfast: Low Carb Slimfast Shake
Lunch: Homemade tuna salad (1 single serve pouch of tuna, 1 Tbsp mayo, 1 Tbsp relish, a few chopped grapes) – I ate 1/2 of the whole thing
Snack: a few bites of tuna salad
Dinner/Snack: I eventually finished off the rest of the tuna salad. I’m not hungry but I know I need to try and get my protein in. I was very lacking in that department today.
Drink: Sugar Free Lemonade, Chai Tea
Exercise: 30 minutes of walking (1 1/3 miles)

What A Day!!!
I went in for my (1 month overdue) 1 year post-op visit for my lapband today. I also needed a fill today. The doctor had some trouble with my port (again) and needed to do the whole procedure twice. Last time I had a fill I had a total of 7.6cc’s in my band. Today when he started I had 7cc’s in there – I must have drank the other 0.6cc
This time he put in a total of 10cc’s. I seemed like I was ok at the time but started bringing everything back up soon after I left the office. I thought it would settle down on its own but it didn’t- got worse instead. About an hour after I left I ended up going back to his office and getting 1cc taken out. Now I am supposed to drink clear liquids the rest of the day today. I have done ok, if the liquid is warm and if I take tiny sips. I don’t feel too bad, all things considered.
On top of that we have been dealing with a health issue with one of our boys. I think my brain is starting to get tired out.
But, I am glad to know that God is in control…I refuse to worry. At the end of the day, I can rely on the fact that I serve a great God – not only does He call me friend, I am His favorite (don’t worry, you are His favorite too).
By the way, my official “doctor’s office” weight today was 230.0 lbs. WOOHOO!!!
May God bless you!

Cha-Cha-Changes!!!
I have been meaning to post this for a long time but life always seems to get in the way. I wanted to post some of the changes I've noticed and some other non-scale stuff.
Here are some NSV (non-scale victories):
I have been in a size 26/28 or size 3X (unless it's from WalMart - then it's a 4x - thanks for making me feel even worse than before, WalMart). I now wear a size 18 or XL. This was a huge victory for me since they sell some XL in non-plus-size stores. I haven't been able to buy something from a "regular" store anytime in my adult life. I remember shopping in the plus-size stores even when I was in my middle school years.
We went camping this past weekend and I went on the "jumping pillow" with our 2 year old. The "jumping pillow" is a kind of cross between a trampoline and an inflatable jumping thing. Anyway, I went on it and I didn't hear one negative comment. Nobody even looked at me to see why a "big woman" would be on there. During the camping trip I even went swimming too!
I have been wearing make-up and earrings again, almost everyday - even if I'm not going anywhere.
Today, for the first time in way too long, I went and walked for 30 minutes. Guess what I did too...I ran!!! It wasn't pretty and it was only maybe for 30 seconds each time but I ran 4 short times during my walk. Also, I walked over 1.5 miles today and I wasn't even out of breath!
A few problem areas I have identified:
Out of the mouth of babes: we were listening to a Christian radio program the other day in the car. The woman who was speaking talked about Moms eating a diet of whatever is leftover on their kids' plates. She called it the "Leftovers Diet". My son looked at me and said, "Boy Mom that's what you do!" I have been more conscious of it and now I am seeing it too! I usually don't make myself lunch because I pick at whatever I am making for the kids while I make it then proceed to eat whatever my 2 year old leaves on her plate! Or {gasp} I will make something for myself for lunch too!
I am still not exercising. I keep saying I am going to but I never do. I did go walk tonight though. I need to make it a habit.
I find that I have hardly an appetite all morning, I really have to make myself eat something for breakfast. Then I am a little more hungry as the day goes on. By nighttime I am STARVING! It's like "Katie bar the door"!
These are areas I am working on but I thought I'd share with you in case you have been there before and have advice.
God bless!

Update for this week
My weight today was 241.0 pounds. I have a few pounds that I have been fluctuating between - going between 242 - 245. This is my lowest weight since, um, as far back I can remember. I weighed about 260 pounds when I got married in 1992 (I was 19 years old back then). The only time I remember being lower than that was when I got down to 244 pounds 9 years ago with Weight Watchers. Immediatly after I stopped Weight Watchers, the weight came back. Now, I have been stuck around 244 since around Thanksgiving. It seems that 244 is a stumbling block for me. As you can read from my previous post, I am getting back to being committed. I know what I supposed to do, I need to do it. I don't have good restriction right now. I'm scheduled to get another fill in a few weeks. My short-term goal is to see the 230's on the scale.
