Hurray!!!

I am jumping for joy inside... Just got back from my Floro, and all is well in bandland! Yippee!!! They still aren't quite sure what caused the sudden onset tightness... she put my band back up to 5cc's and did the xray and it was bizarre - the stuff just sat there and didn't go through - I definitely felt that full, burping sensation! She backed off to 4 cc's and it flowed through with no problem... put me back up to 4.5 cc's, and that seemed to be a good point. The stuff went through slowly... So, they added 1 cc - I have another appointment in 4 weeks, which is perfect. For the time being, I'll see how this does. Hopefully well, because as of this morning I was up to 208. YIKES! Okay... refocus... I can get below 200... I WILL get below 200... I'm on a day of full liquids, 2 days of mush, then on Friday back to normal food... And time to start measuring. Remember last post how I admitted that I didn't measure? Well, it is time to start... I am going to do my best to measure everything... 1/2 a cup at a time! Darn it, I do not want to mess this up! I'm hoping between a few more days of liquids and mush, better measuring and getting back into the running groove, I'll be able to kick this 200 pound mark in short time! I'll keep you posted. And by the way... THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your kind words on my 1 year bandiversary post! I feel so loved by all of you!!!
