One month SURGIVersary!
Today is my one month anniversary for my REALIZE Lap Band surgery! And I truly feel like "a new creation in Christ"! (2 Cor. 5:17) 
LOL!
I feel so energetic, even when I don't get a full night's sleep. I still feel nervous everytime I put on my clothes, worried that they will be too tight or that I can't get my arms through the sleeves. And instead, they fall onto me so much nicer. And I have to pinch myself to make sure that it is really true!
Wednesday night I sat in a chair at church, and my hips weren't sore when I got up from being crammed in between the arm rests. I've gotten lazy about Curves though these past 2 weeks, so I really need to get back onto that bandwagon. No excuses, just laziness.
Other than that, we are in the process of changing churches. Last Wednesday night, I officially joined the choir at church. So this Sunday our family will officially join the church. I know. I did it backwards, but music is my passion. So for me, I did it in the right order. Lol. But this process has been pretty stressful on us. What church you attend is a very personal matter. And some of our friends understand our reasons for this, while others don't. And that's hard when your friends can't or won't try to understand that it's not about them, but the big picture. Yet I've not used this as an excuse to overeat. And that is the 1st time in my life I haven't dealt with stress by shoving food into my mouth. Maybe that's God's way of telling us we are doing the right thing. Only time will tell.
Stats:
Wt lost: 23 lbs
Shirt sizes: 1 - 2 sizes
Skirt size: 1 size
Pants size: 1 size
AND - I am having to adjust all of the arm straps on my bras because upper torso and my arms are shrinking. Who new?
Lifestyle: I've had to adjust my steering wheel one notch because my stomach isn't in the way anymore.
1st fill: 09/25/08 Dr. Avara's office 9:00 am - this makes me a little nervous. So I am alternating real food with mushy foods to make sure that I am chewing it enough before swallowing. But it will be ok.
God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!
Thanks for listening,
Tammy

Bravo girlfriend!!!!! I'd sing for ya, if I could sing - am so jealous of your talent. On the rare occasions when I do sing, my husband, children and grandests either start pulling dollars out their pockets or beg me to stop. I don't understand why they can't appreciate that I'm "trying." LOLKeep up the good work!!!
