WOOT! So this is what it is supposed to FEEL like?!
I had an AWESOME weigh-in today. I am down 15# from last Thursday. I know that sounds INSANE... but I did have a tight fill/dehydration last week... and for some reason the pounds didn't come back on. I HAD to have been bloated on weigh-in last or something... because I was 340 when I had my port replaced the week prior.
Anyway... I am THRILLED! 12#'s or 15#'s... it is STILL DOWN!
I know it will be slow and steady from here on out... this week is a GIANT fluke... but wow has it got me pumped!!!
I have been doing awesome with my diet...logging everything! I eat my pre-measured amounts and nothing more. I rarely feel hunger. I have not slimed, PB'd, gotten stuck, felt pain or pressure at ALL!! I barely know my band is there.
I am shocked and excited. I feel like THIS is what I should have been feeling all this time!! I wish I dealt with my leaky band earlier... but I am not going to dwell on that. Looking forward... looking forward!!!
I just had to gush some. It has been such a long journey for me. It is nice to feel positive again. To feel hope again. I "almost" love my band. (hard to love something I have loathed for almost 3 years... lol)

I use FatSecret.com and LOVE the site. It has an AWESOME ap for smart phones. Very user friendly. I love logging as I go so I don't forget anything. I also like being able to look stuff up on the fly to make informed choices while out.
