First Dinner Out Tonight oh and...

I decided to leave the image LARGE because I'm excited about that number. Four pounds away from my next goal. I'm going back to my college homecoming on October 17th. A little over six weeks from today. I'd love to be down around the 235 mark at that point. I'm 248 today. I have my first fill on Friday and while people say that they don't notice it much, I'm hoping I at least continue to lose. I got my period today - first time since surgery, so interested to see if it's different. Last night I got a weird pain about two inches below my port. Stabbing pain which I thought was gas. I did pass some gas, but the pain is still there a bit today. Not nearly as bad as it was last night, but I feel it every once in a while. I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the period. 

So tonight is my first dinner out.  My friend from Chicago is in town so four of us are going to dinner. I picked the restaurant, it's a great one in NYC called Blue Fin. They have lots of yummy fish choices and I've already chosen what I'm having from the menu online. It's halibut with lemon herb gnocchi, petite portobello mushrooms, and jumbo lump crab. Now I don't like fish, so this will be a great experiment. I also haven't had any pasta...I think I might steer clear of the gnocchi. Regardless, I'll likely eat 1/4 of what they serve me, so we'll see how it goes. Chew chew chew!!  I emailed my nutritionist today to see if it would be alright for me to have a glass of wine and she never emailed me back.  Maybe I'll take that as a hint that I shouldn't?? ;-)
