I have told myself that I would start walking 3 miles a day or more until my surgery date (except on Sundays). I will have walked 120 miles just at 3 miles per day. Some days I have walked as much as eight. I lost 6 lbs, and have put 4 back on as of this morning. I understand it might be muscle and the loss was probably water. I also know to stay off of the scales, but I just have the hardest time with that. Do I want to continue walking? Will my body be too used to it by the time I have surgery...

The beans and cheese I made last night gave me terrible gas and I was burping up nastiness and had to sleep practically sitting up last night.
I know the band is tight and maybe a little swollen from my fill five days ago. I feel is... I mean it feels like a little cramp right below my boobies.
I pureed the Chicken vegetable soup I made... yummo has lots of protein and spinich, broccoli, leek, potato... I'm eating softees for a few days so my band will calm down.

Like a lot of us, I belong to more then 1 group. While surfing around my other group I found the following link. It is to show to the waitress at a restaurant in hope they will let u share a meal with a friend or order from the child's menu. For those of us who have been wishing for such a thing, here is the link:

UNBELIEVABLE!

I'm thrilled about the wieghtloss. I've been watching my food intake... the bummer is that I don't think I'm getting my water all in... I mean I am TIGHT I can take sips at a time and I can still feel the tightness of the band around my stomache so there must still be some swelling... Praise the Lord! he fights all my battles and with Him I know this too will be another mountain that will be conquered. My goal is to hit my two-teens by weekend!!! WhooHOOOOO!...
