Yes, folks I am still alive.  I have decided that I am not a very good blogger.  I am reading your blogs everyday but to post something meaningful, encouraging on my own blog seems like such a daunting task.  I don't feel that I have an interesting enough life to post everyday.  You guys really don't want to hear about my sad, lonely life.  I am however making decent strides on the weight loss front.  I am down 38 pounds.  I go for a fill on Thursday and I can really see a difference in my clothes.  I have some that I need to pass along.  I will try to get some pics of them and post them so I can send them to a new foster home. Who knows when I will be motivated to do all that though.  I guess that's my problem lately. I've been in a funk.  I can't seem to get motivated to do anything.  I'll just go ahead and put this out there, I have suffered from depression for the past 10 years.  Right now I don't feel depressed I just don't feel like doing anything, with anybody.  Maybe I am depressed, who knows?  I haven't been too good about taking my meds lately so I will get back on the medication bandwagon and if something doesn't change then I guess I'll need to talk with my dr. Blech.  Well, that's it for now.  Hope everyone is doing well. 
Abrazos y Besos!

Hot Diggity!

You need to say the following in a sing song voice, I'm down 34 pounds,  I'm down 34 pounds, I'm down 34 pounds!  Yes, that's right!  I'm down 34 pounds! Let me say it again I'm down 34 pounds!  Hot Diggity!  That's all I've got to post today.  I'm down 34 pounds, I'm down 34 pounds.  Smile.

Nothing new...

Nothing new.  Weight is stable.  I think I need another fill.  I can eat about 1cup of food at a time and I feel full.  I am however hungry in about 3 hours.  I feel no restiction.  Any thoughts???

WhOoT wHoOT!!

The Night Owls, that's the name of our team for Team Lean.  I am on a team with 2 other ladies, and 1 guy.  It should be good.  I am excited.  I didn't think that I could participate since I had a band but they gave me the A-Ok today.  So, I'm on a team and ready to get started.  On the weight loss front I am down 6 pounds, pretty good stuff.  I'm proud, I know that I just got a fill last week but I swear I think I'm ready for another.  I honestly can't tell a difference.  Well, that's not completely true.  I can only eat so much but then I'm hungry again in 2-3 hours.  Like yesterday, I had 1 egg and 1 piece of sauage and I was full.  Next thing you know I'm hungry again.  That means I need a fill right?  Please advise me, I need your feed back folks.

Fill and Vitamins

Well, I got my first fill and some vitamins.  Everyting went as expected.  I can't complain, the needle was kinda scary looking but it really didn't hurt at all.  My appointment was at 9:30 and I didn't get out of the office until 11:00.  I don't know what took so long.  I was so tired I almost fell alseep on the table...I think I might have dozed off for a minute. Anywho, I drank water and am on liquids until tomorrow.  So far everything is going good.  I can drink fluids and eat yogurt.  So, all is well.  Now to really start rockin that band! I got the Bariatric Advantage Chewable Vitamins in Watermelon, they are ok, does anyone else out there in blogger world take them?  I also got the Calicum Chews in Raspberry, they taste ok.  Well, keep on keeping on!

Bandster Hell

That's right!  I am in bandster hell.  I have been eating like a pig!  I am afraid to get on the scale.  I have been too ashamed to post anything.  What was I gonna say?  Hello fellow bandsters I am up 3 pounds because I have been eating everything in sight.  Not just everything in sight but I have even gone out looking for food!  Let's just say that the Haagen Daz Chocolate Peanut Butter is really good.  I have had no restriction, none.  Bandster hell is real.  I believe, I believe.  Tomorrow I will have my first fill, PTL!  I am so excited!  Hopefully the scale will start moving back down.
