So I started dieting on Friday. I desperately need to up my water intake to 64 ounces (if not more!) a day, not just for dieting but for life in general.

I was 277.4 Friday and today I was 272.8 so at least I know low-carbing still works for me. But if I could up my water intake and drop some of the water weight maybe I could shrink into some of my nicer dresses before my cousin's wedding in a week and a half!

So I scheduled my psych evaluation for next Thursday. I need...

It's funny. When I first decided/was approved for the band, I couldn't contain myself. I wanted the new life immediately, I wanted it now now now and I could not stop thinking about what life would be like 2, 4 years from having the band inserted.

Just when I think I have everything under control, I got sick last nite. I'm used to the sliming ... no big deal, but I threw up. The only thing I had different was homemade (at a cafe) clam chowder for lunch. I was expecting smooth and creamy but it was rather chunky and the clam were a bit gritty. I couldn't eat very much of it and put the rest in the frige. After dinner, ugh. This morning, I still have an upset tummy, a headache and sore muscles. Maybe I just have a bug?
