Picking up again...

I have been avoiding this blog for some reason and, even though I know no one reads it, I feel like I should start updating it more often. Like once a year, maybe?!?! ha!

So it's been quite a while since I posted. I have lost right at 100 pounds and am currently waiting to go get a re-fill since I had to take some of my fill out in March. I am free until my birthday and then, after that, I need to schedule an appointment to get back on track and jump start the losing again.

Things are going good otherwise.

First fill

Had the first fill today. It was pretty uneventful. I did find out that my official weight loss since 10/24 is 25 pounds. I am so excited about that. Can't wait to keep going!

First fill tomorrow....

I am excited but also a little apprehensive at the same time. I'll just be glad when I get it done and can not have to fear the unknown anymore.

One month ago today....

I went into surgery. Real food is mine again!!!! YAY!

Getting back into the "regular" food...

I am back to eating "regular" food. I am still trying to take it easy, but it's such a good feeling to know I can eat wat I want and not be stuck with just "mushy" food. Funnily enough, we at a cream soup for lunch today--BUT, I didn't HAVE to eat it. hehe I ate it because I wanted to. It's getting better and better as time goes by. After Thanksgiving, I will be getting my first fill--on 11/29, actually. I am looking forward to getting the fill and seeing how it will affect my appetite. We shall see. Since the last time I weighed on my home scale, I have lost 8 pounds. I won't have the official total until my doc appt.

Being bad!!!

I am supposed to still be on "mushy" food but, this weekend....not so much. I have always been one of those that has a hard time following the rules once I feel better. You know--take antibiotics until I feel better--not until they are all gone. ha! If I have some left, that means I have some for next time! So, I have not been so good this weekend....I haven't eaten chips and things like that, but I have eaten sandwiches, etc. All made with soft things--grilled cheese and egg/cheese sandwiches, but I am NOT supposed to be having bread right now! So, I am hoping to get "back with the plan" tomorrow. It's hard because I know my body can handle it but I still have to eat mushy things. Nothing makes you want something more than knowing you CAN'T have it. Grrr....I look forward to the day when I really CAN'T eat it because my body simply won't let me. Until then, this willpower thing sucks!

Username confusion

Just FYI, I have it set to always say "Charles & Brandi" posted things.

If Charles posts a blog, he will always put a "-C" at the end of it. Just FYI so you will know who is talking. :)
