At 400+ pounds, I finally pushed myself to get the Lap-Band surgery. This is the tale of how I'm trying to become the woman inside of me that's fighting to get out.

Grrr!

I didn't get out of work until about 6:20 tonight...and if you've been following, that means the gym closed at 6 PM and I couldn't get in. I was so proud of myself for going and looking forward to it everyday. Today was incredibly busy and stressful and I was actually hoping I could work out and (strangely) relax from it. Now my neck is achy from staring at the computer in a very tense position and I just don't feel as good physically. I'm going to try to squeeze in a workout tonight here at home with Walk Away The Pounds. I ate right when I got home, so I have to wait awhile before I can work out. If I don't do it tonight, I'll get up early tomorrow and do it. Tomorrow I have another coworker with me so I shouldn't be as busy and get to leave on time and get my ass kicked in the gym.

I'm a little nervous. I had my fill yesterday and I was taking it easy last night and today with food because usually I have pretty good restriction after my fills, even if it's only for a week or so. Tonight I got Chinese food and normally I eat 1 egg roll, a few crabmeat rangoons, and by then I'm already feeling the beginnings of fullness. I eat the broccoli out of my chicken & broccoli (comes with rice), and then I'm usually too full and starting to hurt a bit. I leave the chicken and rice for another meal.

Tonight though...I was able to eat ALL of my chicken, broccoli, AND rice. And I didn't get the painful full feeling at all. I'm getting really nervous that something is wrong. It happens with bandsters that days come that just about anything goes through the band, but I shouldn't be getting that right after a fill. I guess we'll see over the next few days.
