Topic: The Next Phase
Tomorrow, August 8th I begin the next phase of my weight loss journey. Some do it right the first time, following the rules, going in getting their fills, unfills, and whatever else people that don't have the band need to have checked. I had a minor setback due to insurance or the lack thereof. Now its time for the next phase of starting over with the blood work, tests and the evaluation of where I stand. Setting the pattern to real my goal.
Hope all of you are doing well and wish me well in this phase to complete my weight loss journey then move on to maintenance.
Praying for your success and my own. As always, take care,

Topic: Did U Do The Last Supper?
Many of us before having wls decided to eat and or drink the things we felt we would be unable to have. I did not. My mind was made up to do the right thing. So almost 4 yrs out and I did a last supper type thing.
The conscious is wonderful. Yes I ate but my conscious and good results from working with my band would not let me get out of hand. Being back home and waiting to see the doctor on Monday for a possible fill still has kept me sensible.
Also, it helped me to know that hard work pays off. Good habits are hard to break too.
Keep up the good work, you will not always give in to do bad.
In case you were wondering, yes What Did You Eat Yesterday will be back on Tuesday. Take care and have a great day.

Topic: My First Time
Today was my first upper GI, Fluoro. I was just wondering what everything is supposed to look like? Saw my band and port, 
looked like it was where
it belonged. Saw my stomach and the band attached but once again since I didn't see before pics can't tell what it should look like now. Yeah I know the doc or np will tell me when they get the CD but just wondering if anyone knows what to look for? I'm thinking of looking at the CD hope I don't mess it up. Just too nosey to wait til Monday. What are your thoughts?

Topic: Tues. 8/2/11 - Daily Goal
Didn't do as well as planned on my goal for yesterday but today I am going to do better. Ate most of a big bag of Garretts popcorn, ate a philly cheesesteak sandwich. That was the worse of it. Plans are to finish my popcorn before getting home and not taking any temptations home with me. I can't get a lot of my indulges in KY so no stash goes home. Well maybe the hot cheese popcorn. However I find that keeping my goal in mind helps me to not eat the whole thing.
Hope all of you are doing well in keeping your daily goal. Its a really hot day in Chicago. I hope you are keeping hydrated, taking your vitamins remembering your protein and exercising.
My daughter has stairs in her apartment, being the senior that I am, I forget something up or down stairs so I am climbing them constantly. Oh Oh and I found Body Electric on television yesterday at 6:00 pm. Not only did I watch but I exercised. Yeah me.
Take care of yourself,

Topic: Mon. 8/1/2011 - Daily Goal
Good Morning All,
Woke up this morning desiring to do better now, while still in city of good food and fine drink, Chicago.
My original plan was to wait until after my doctors visit but today I just want to do well. Don't know the dynamics of these feelings but seeing old friends with major health issues is probably the trigger.
My goal for today is protein, salad and exercise. Taking my vitamins and drinking plenty of liquids.
Hope you have a goal to do better or continue to do well. Take care,
