Well it's about time!

Hi Everyone!

I bet you're all surprised to see me posting on my blog. I was just looking at das beaglehaus and The Neibert Diaries and I was feeling the need. My weight loss is now at 53 pounds. A lot more since my last post. Kassidy has been in Connecticut for the last 2 weeks and she is coming home tomorrow. I can't wait to see her, I miss her so much. I am working from 3 to 11 today because the bank has a Disaster Recover Exercise, so this is my shift.

I'm so excited for Hawaii. I got a new tattoo to celebrate the occasion. This makes number 5 for me. Kassidy has not seen it yet.

I can't wait til she does. I'm really looking forward to our families getting to spend time together, because they are so far away from me. I miss you guys more than you know.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this blog post. I know it has been way too long! I'll try to write again soon!

Continuing the Journey

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I had my first fill on 6/21/08. The injected 3 CCs of saline into the band. Well, when I got home I found that I could not keep anything down. I actually lost nine more lbs in a week and a half. I went back to the doctor on 6/29 and he removed 1.5 CCs of saline. That made things much better. I am basically following the diet of Weight Watchers and I am currently down 22 pounds, I am happy to report. Kassidy is trying to lose a few as well so she is very supportive.

One Full Week

Well, It has been a full week since my surgery. I am proud to report that I am down 11 pounds. I was hungry for the first time I think on Tuesday 4/29. Wayne made cheeseburgers at 9pm, so I had to go to bed. The next day I had a bit of a set back. Mom came to pick me up to go to look at an apartment. I had a protein shake in the car. About 45 minutes later I felt nausious. I started getting dry heaves. We came home and rested a bit and then I made some minestrone soup for lunch. I blended mine all up in the blender and gave mom the rest. I tried to have a tiny little bit and had to run to the sink. More dry heaves. I called the doctor and they said that this was happening because I was still swollen inside and that it restricts the band more than it should. He prescribed suppositories (ewww) and that would make the nausia go away. It really worked. I ended up making spaghetti and meatballs for mom and aunt mare and Kassidy and Wayne. It did not bother me a bit. I was still feeling a little out of it, so I went to bed. It was about 8:30.

On Thursday I felt so much better. I was able to run a few errands. Mom, I know you don't like me telling you that. I helped out for about an hour at Kassidy's school. She loved it. And it was really fun. Then I came home and napped.

Today I started back to work. I was on the helpdesk and discovered that I had to change all my passwords. That really bit. Around 9:30 my new office equipment came - Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax, Thin client pc with 19 inch monitor, IP telephone (very cool) and a huge shredder. I worked on it a little today, still have to load some software though.

Well, that's all for now. I'll update again next week. Keep routing for me!
