Weigh In Day & Quiz

Another week, another 0.7lbs. which means I am now down 12.1 lbs. since I started the pre-surgery diet on Oct. 1 and 18.7 from my highest weight this summer. Not exactly what I was hoping for but not bad for not having had a fill yet.  My first fill is scheduled for this Wednesday.  WooHoo!  I am really looking forward to getting some restriction because the longer I get away from surgery, the less restriction I have felt.  I get the feeling I could eat pizza if I wanted to but I am not going to tempt the fates.  It just feels like I am on another diet at this point and not really getting much benefit from having the band.  I know from reading all your blogs that this is called Bandster Hell and I am definitely in it!

I haven't been blogging very much lately.  It has become much harder to write since I started my new job but I have been keeping up with everyone's blogs and I am constantly mining them for ideas and support.  I am so glad that I found this community to follow as I continue on my journey.
