How I'm Doing

Holy Shnikies!!

My seven month anniversary from starting the pre-op was on Saturday and I've lost 90 pounds as of this morning. I'd been flirting with 193 for the last two weeks and finally hit it today. Yeah! I have my fill today so I'm excited to chat with them and hopefully get a tiny tweak. I feel like I'm so close to my sweet spot but that I'm working the heck out of this band and that little bit might help get me firmly in the green zone. I'm nervous because of the folks that have had issues lately with a fill of just .1 but I'll talk it through with the Doc/Gaspar and see what they think.

Nicole sent me three pairs of jeans yesterday. She rocks!! Today, my bum is tucked inside of a pair of Arden B size 32 jeans! The last time I wore jeans that had those funky numbers, I was in the 8th grade and my mom bought me my first (and last) pair of Guess jeans! Thanks Nicole (aka jean fairy)!


Attention NYC ladies (and those who are willing to travel), we're planning a bandster brunch for Sunday March 7th. Dos Caminos, prickly pear margaritas anyone? Let me know if you're in by this Sunday and I'll make the reservation.
