Cottage Cheese Heaven

It's official - I've been advanced to "mushy/soft" foods!  Yippee!  So, I came home and had a 4oz. cottage cheese, and it was the most delicious thing I can remember in a while!  I'm planning on a poached egg for dinner.  I can't wait!  I know, some of you are gagging at the thought, but the freedom from my liquids is wonderful!

I'm also down 8 more pounds, for a total of 17 pounds - and very happy with that!  I have another appointment with Dr. C. in two weeks, at which point I'll get to schedule my first band fill.  Good news - it appears my scale at home is calibrated too, so I will go by my scale from now on.

I took a picture of the lap band and will try to get that posted up here so you can see what it looks like, how big (or small) a stomach I have now, etc... As always, thanks again for all the support!    Oh - and I'm cleared to go back to work.  Oh well - guess that had to come too!!!  :-)
