Still Struggling, But I Will Be Okay

Dec 12, 2009

I started out the week well.  I went on my walk at lunch, I drank my water and ate correctly.  Come Tuesday, I got stressed over someting and turned to food.....and not the right kind of food, food I KNOW I can't get through my band.  Sick, I tell ya!!  Soooo the week unravelled pretty quickly.  I have been pretty busy, and haven't had time for me.  That's usually the way it is around the holidays.  

I have called Dr. Acosta's office to see about getting a UGI, just to make sure that my band is sitting correctly and that my pouch has not stretched out more than it should be.  I talked to his nurse, and it was decided that it will be easier for my PCP to order the UGI and just have the results sent to Dr. Acosta.  So, I will be calling Dr. Liljestrand on Monday to get that set up.  I truly hope that nothing is wrong with my band, and that it's just user error.  I have been PBing a lot lately and waking up at night throwing up.  

I weighed in a pound heavier this week at 165, but as long as my band is good, I know I will be okay.  Things are pretty weird in my life right now...so, I am cutting myself a break.  As long as I don't gain too much more weight, I know that once my life settles back down, I wlll get back to a routine that encourages weight loss once again.
