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
Wow, you look great! I'm so glad to hear everything is going well since your last update, despite being too tight a couple of times. (It's all trial and error with these dang bands, isn't it?) :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing everything right. Have fun with those kiddo's ...it all keeps coming back better and better as you get older!
