Had my second "fill" today,and weigh-in

This is lap-band business today....I had my second "fill" This is when the doctor locates the port on the top of my stomach and injects saline water into the lap-band device. A month ago, at my first fill, the doctor put 2 cc in, and today another 2 cc was added. Whereas the first time it didn't seem to make a difference in how I felt, this time I could feel the device as it inflated, so to speak. I can still feel it now. It feels kinda like when you have eaten a big dinner and you feel stuffed. Much as you would like another helping of dessert, you have to turn it down. Maybe later.

I have to stick to liquids again for the next couple of days, so it's back to Shakesville and my trusty little blender!

Oh and despite all my picking, I did manage to lose a little weight. Last month I weighed 262 1/2 lbs. and today I was down to 256 1/2 lbs. I can only put it down to riding my recumbent bike twice daily for exercise. Needless to say, all this made me feel a lot better. Plus the bright sunshiney day after the storm we had yesterday definitely helped a lot. It was hard to see with the sun's glare on the white snow, which is really piled up high now.

Yesterday I was so down. It was snowing heavily, there was no school so Max was bored and running around. Plus all of us in this small house makes it feel very claustrophobic. There's really no where to go unless you go to bed. The bedrooms are so cold you have to get under the covers to feel warm. No sitting up watching TV in there in the winter-time!!!

On good days everybody goes out and I feel better again with some space around me for a while.

I hope this month coming up I can lose a little more as February is here and I would really like to get as close to 200lbs as I can get before the hot weather comes.

Hot weather!!! I've forgotten what that is!!!
