Tomorrow is my long awaited fill. I have been really up and down in tightness this last week. First there was the cookie incident-I further pushed the testing by trying to eat a tortilla (to my peril!). I have now settled down to a solid 259 but have been as low as 257. I hope this fill does the trick to get things moving again. I am good until lunchtime but then after lunch the hunger gets worse and worse until at night I turn into a ravenous mad-woman. I do wish the band was a bit more regular but Ill take tight during the day in order to get some sense of fullness in the evening.
I took a few days off for Spring break and went shopping (kitchen stuff, shoes for me, kids clothes). We also went to a family fun center one day and play miniature golf, and some really dumb games that were solely invented to rob you of tokens. I liked the golf but can you tell the token thing was not fun. In all we spent 20 dollars on tokens and in return my 7 year old got to spend a huge amount of tickets (i did get a jackpot on one game) for 5 small candies, a mini Micky Mouse figure and two rubber bracelets. This process took less than an hour.
On the job front my husband has been offered a six month contract to help out a project with his current employer (big company-new department). With this contract he can apparently still keep looking for a permanent job. So the problem is now put off until November.
Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.
