http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/clap2.gif I weighed this morning and I am happy to say I am below 150. 149 to be exact. I haven't been this weight since my wedding day. This is my first goal and I made it!! Now hopefully I can keep going to my goal. It's been quite a few years since I got past this mark but I feel alot more empowered this time.http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
On a different note, I was actually able to eat a little more than usual last night. For the past few days I have been having trouble with everything...even water. So, last night was my girlfriends wedding and then reception. I was so afraid to eat since it was a very elegant country club setting. I started with a salad about 6 bandster bites which = 2 of the "old me" bites. Then, about the same for my salmon.http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/hungry.gif The salmon was served with white rice which of course I didn't touch. Maybe I was sitting up straighter than usual or maybe it was alot of talking between bites. I did feel slightly stuck at one point but I just kindly excused myself from the table and strolled to the bathroom. I think just the walk helped move things along so no pb. I just freshened my makeup and returned to the table. I also don't think anyone at the table noticed how little I ate.http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/silly.gif I did suck down two Lemon Drop Martini's before dinner.http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/cool.gif Do you think maybe that relaxed my band a bit?http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/grin.gif
Anyway, thanks to all for your support. Next goal 120 which I would love to make by my anniversary March 30. I think that is reasonable. It would be nice if it came sooner but I don't want to set myself up for failure.
