Down 25 Pounds!

Just a quick check in with you all! I’m officially down 25 pounds!!! Seeing as I’ve had my band for about a month and a half, this is really exciting. I think I lost the bulk of my weight b/c my body went into “OMG” shock since I’ve cut out carbs, diet soda and most sugar and I’ve been working out 5 times a week.

A strange thing, though. I went to see my Dr. today to get my 1st fill (where they inject my band with saline to tighten it, thus causing me to eat less and feel fuller quicker) and the Dr. couldn’t inject my port! What the heck?? He said I’m like the 0.5% of his patients that can’t get their bands filled in his office. After poking and prodding around with a needle in my stomach (which hurt after the Novocaine wore off), he finally said it was a no go. I’m not left out in the dark though. I have to go to Northside hospital next week where they’ll use a different method to tighten my band. It’s just more inconvenient than anything. I’ll probably end up getting 2-3 fills until my band is at its best size for my weight loss.

Oh well. It just meant I could eat a bit more tonight when I made dinner for Kate Low fat cauliflower and mushroom casserole and apple cider pork chops anyone? So good…Yum.

Thanks for a-listening. I’ll see you around. Hope you can find me since there’s 25 pounds less of me!
