6 Months Post Op

OK, I need to talk... I know I've been MIA lately, and I really do apologize... Jenny, yes, fun has been exactly what I have been having. From the time I got home from the beach till now I have been doing nothing but what I wanted to do. With the exception of going to work every day that is.  However, apparently now I need to get back to the work at hand in Bandland/Onederland.

Here I am... almost 6 months post op... had a surgeon appointment today and we had a real nice little discussion about my weight loss... Or should I say the lack there of, in the last 2 months since I had my last fill/unfill. It's not bad... I only gained 3 pounds in 2 1/2 months so I'm OK with that. BUT, when I am within 25 pounds of my initial "Happy" goal, it really kinda hurt to hear Dr. G. say... "What do you think you are doing wrong?" ...All I could say was "I dunno?"

Turns out I am NOT doing ANYTHING wrong. I'm eating smaller meals, lots of protein in those meals, and I am going to the gym at least 3 times a week to do the toning and cardio... seems that he feels that I must be maintaining and gaining muscle mass. So again, No more fill for me today. Not yet he says. then he says get some cardio classes in when you are at the gym and we will see you in 4 weeks and see if you need a fill then... I mean can it really be possible that I am at my green spot with only 3 CC's in? Everyone I know that has a band has more than 3 in and they are still "getting there".

So now, I get to go to the gym on Wednesday and sign up for a cardio class or 2, woo hoo! If you really knew me, you would know how much I really hate exercising. treadmills, bikes OK. But please don't make me have to work for this! :-) I need my sisters in Bandland support here... encouraging words will be highly welcome.
