Currently I am sitting at 147 pounds. That is a loss of 89 pounds ! Woo Hoo! I have dropped to a wonderful size 6. It feels so nice.
On the band-front things have been going ok. I haven't had a fill in quite some time. I had one last in August. We went on a cruise in October and I did really well (lost 4 pounds). Never felt too restricted at any point. When I returned from my cruise I became extremely sick from being too tight. I went in and had some restriction removed (1cc). Instant relief. Went back a couple of months later and had some replaced (.50cc). That lasted all of about a day. I was so tight again. Miserable. I went back and had it removed and have not been back since. I think I found the green zone, however I still have tight moments. This week has definitely been one. I am having a difficult time eating. During these times I stick to a soft diet and protein shakes. When I am not overly restricted I eat whatever I want, in moderation. I do not do bread. That really is the only thing that avoid.
I have been busy at work (our busy season begins in October and ends in May), very busy with the kids - ended football season, started and ended basketball season, and now we enjoy a nice break before football begins again. (they don't do baseball)
Now I will need to find the time to see how all of you have been doing. Hopefully I find everyone happy and in excellent health!
Take care,
Tracy
