Ohhh.. I am ready for a fill

HELLO!!!

I am So ready for a fill...

I am able to eat more now.. but I am watching what I am taking in...

I went to the lake last weekend, and I had a blast with my sister, Tyler, and her friend MO.. We had a blast!.. I got a nice sunburn!!! OUCH!

Well, I have not stepped on the scales.. I am avoiding them right now.. Dr. Malley said that I would gain some weight before my first fill because I would be eating more.

My day usually consist of this:

B: One egg and one piece of bacon (hard to finish, I have to eat slow)

My band seems tight in the morning, so Its hard to swallow.

L: 1/2 cup tuna or a small piece of meat

1/2 cup veggies.

small pudding

D: small piece of meat

small serving of veggies.

I like to snack in the after noon, So I eat cheez-its!!

Here are a couple of pictures taken last week at work when we were bored!!!

My double chin is shrinking!!! YEAH!

one week down!

Today is day 8 from surgery!

I went and saw Karen the NP at the office today for my post-op apt.. I am doing great.. I weighed in on their scales
219.8... that is 30lbs less than when I weighed on their scales in January..

I weighed 228 I think last tuesday before I left work.. So I figure I have lost 10lbs since surgery.

I am getting ready for some soft foods now
I went to chipoltle today and I got a burrito bowl, I brought it home and pureed it.. and guess what.. IT was great!!!!!

I will be getting some new pics up shortly.. I hope..
