A little lengthy. I apologize!
I don't know where time has gone. I've been reading blogs here and there but haven't had blog mojo myself. I think it is the January slump. Lets catch up.
Last Monday I went back to work. All is well there. One of my teams even had a get well card for me that the players and coaches signed. So sweet of them! They knew I had surgery but not the specifics. Then that night we had a surprise dinner for one of our surgeons for his years of service. I was SCARED! I was just doing my mushies and shakes yet. I figured I'd sit by my friend, tell her what was going on (she would so benefit from the band!) and she would be my buffer. But noooo. I did sit by her, and tell her, and she is way interested in talking more about it! But then my boss sits across from me, and the surgeon and his wife diagonal to me. Shit. I ate the tiniest bit of salad. I had a paper thin piece of ham, 3 small bites chicken, a slice of potato Au gratin (?), and a smidge of baked corn. Then cake came and I smashed it around my plate and ate maybe 1/8 of it during the "roast" of the doc. I felt like any minute my doc was going to come and yell at me. It turned out OK, and no one looked at me strangely. Whew.
Some interesting things are happening in my clothes. Like baggy ass and droopy frontal area of pants. what? That does not happen to me. I'm a little in shock. I'm happy of course, but a little unbelieving? Two of my favorite ($) pairs of dress pants are real baggy. I think I'll hang on to them and maybe have them taken in. Not sure. Today I just look plain frumpy. It was -10 this morning so I went jeans and sweater. I look like I'm swimming in my outfit. It's passing roomy comfy stage. It's to the point of pants too long, sleeves too long. I'm in shock.
On the scale this morning I was hovering the next decade of numbers! Oh if I could just be there tomorrow for my appt!! So the total loss is now is 33. I thought I was a little more than that but I looked back through my appointments and that is that. I need to figure out those little tracker things. I'm not the suavest at the ol computer sometimes.
Tomorrow I meet with the RD I like, a PA I don't know, and then up to the surgeons office for my FIRST FILL!! Yay! I'm excited! I am getting real hungry and need to get moving toward restriction darn it! I am still measuring my food so that is helping.
On the gym front. Not so good. I went 1 time last week. Total bummer. A 3 day migraine knocked me out of that for sure. Migraine hit me after a wonderful massage. WTF?? Thank God for Z o m i g!
33 lbs is terrific! I was banded 10 days before you. I too have had to go to dinners and actually discovered I could eat more than I thought I could. My first fill is tomorrow too and am really hoping I feel some restriction. Good luck!
