Tomorrow marks the one month anniversary of my lap band surgery. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to get on the scale so I decided to weigh myself today. My weight was exactly the same as it was the last time I weighed. That's good, I guess. It could be much worse, right? If I hadn't had the surgery, I probably would have gained a good 5lbs over the past week based on my inability to stop eating. Although that brings me to another thing I really need to work on during this "transformation". My attitude. It's funny because at work, I am pretty optimistic but in my personal life, I tend to be very negative. My therapist and I have been working on this for a while and although I have made great strides, I often find myself saying things that probably are quite negative.
On Tuesday when I went to the surgery center, my blood pressure was very high. At first, I was really worried about why this was happening. John and I started "breaking it down" and for now have concluded that it's because of the stress I have been under at work and the fact that I may be doing too much too soon. If it's still high next Thursday when I go for my fill, then I will go see my GP and have him give me his expert opinion. Oh, and speaking of the surgery center? My incisision WAS infected and they're treating me with an antibiotic. I just wish they started treating me last week when I originally went in. Oh well.
So yeah, tomorrow. I feel like it's a pretty big day!!! I'll be posting my pictures by the end of the day so stay tuned!

oh! once a month i go and they inject saline into my port making the band smaller...this is what helps me lose weight because it reduces the amount i can eat.
