Hopefully with the band you were able to control your intake of hot dogs yesterday!! The beer on the other hand was all mind over matter haha. Happy Fourth everyone!!!!! Well, one day late of course because that is usually how I am haha. I hope you all had a really nice day. I didn't do anything too exciting, had some friends over and just chilled all day but it was really enjoyable. Also, I have today off work because the 4th fell on a weekend day so it's really nice to have a long weekend. Food wise I did pretty well, it was all chicken and fruit pretty much until the dessert came out. It was Strawberry Shortcake -- one of my faves!!!!! Of course I ate it and watched my will power go out the window.....can't win them all =)
So as I am sure you noticed I gave me blog a new layout. I figured I am working on my 2nd year of being banded so I needed a fresh look. It's still in the works so I might be moving a few more things around and adding some other things so bare with me!
Again I hope you had a great weekend and hopefully I'll be reporting a good number this Wednesday!!!!! Fingers crossed!
So yesterday was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I took the day off to go to my one year post op appointment at Lahey. I weighed in at 210 yesterday but woke up 209 this morning so I am super super siked!!! Pam (my nurse practitioner) said that there are like “levels” of obesity and once you hit a BMI of 35 that brings you to a level 1 so she was really happy because I am down to a level 1 now!
So she went through all the normal questions about am I hungry and this and that. I told her that from breakfast to lunch I am golden but from lunch to dinner I could eat my arms off lol. She said that there is an actual physical reason for that…so get this…..
When you are sleep at night, all your bodily fluids are more dispersed and they are around your band making it tighter feeling and as the day progresses and your now upright, the fluids move back down to your legs and lower abdomen and don’t make the band feel as tight…interesting huh? Pam of course said it more sophisticated but you get the idea!
Anyway lets talk fills…I totally let her decided what to put in…I actually didn’t even know what she had done until she was already through with giving me the fill. She gave me .4 and she said she really thinks that will put me in the right spot. So I am up to 7.2cc. I am taking it really slow!!! I had a cottage cheese this morning you know one of those like 4 oz ones and I didn’t finish it and I am going to try and get some kind of soup this afternoon.
So I just wanted to keep you all updated!!! Hope you are all doing fab!
