Thirsty Thursday

Ohhh how that used to mean so many different things when I was in college! Anwyays hello all. Its almost the weekend. Got on the scale today down 7lbs since my fill. I am lovin it! My appitite is slowly coming back since I had a fill last week, but I am really loving the fact that I eat my portion and Im good and full. I like that people actually notice now that I have lost weight. Although not alot know I had the band, they think I am focusing on the wedding, which I am but also myself.

Wedding update: flowers done. CHECK! My girls are carryig hot pink gerbers and I am carrying white roses! They will look gorgeous! I cant believe its 4 months away! I am getting nervous about my 1st dress fitting since I hope they dont wreck my dress by having to take it in but I love the fact that they have to take it in!

PS If you have a chance, watch Amy W vlog! Its fabulous tonight!

Howie and I are going to our 1srt game of the season tomorrow night, its going to be a interesting night. We usally have a few beers and go watch the game. I dont drink beer anymore! SAD TARA! I need to tell Sad Tara that her new rockin body is better than a few beers! Hello!

Anyways nothing new on the front just checkin in!

PB FROM H*LL

Sooo just coming off the worst PB of my life. Howie and I went over for a nice dinner. I had beef, I was being good, chew chew chew chew, and then not so good. I was so tight, I went to the rest room, nothing would come up. Ok sat back down and just sat while he ate. We go to leave and all breaks loose in the parking lot. Everything. I mean I feel great now but seriously band!

Anyways new lession learned, just order soup while out to eat with your fiance!

HELP

I think I need help w. my blog. I dont know how to do anything! Any tutorials would be awesome!

WOW Im bad at this!

OK so I am totally bad at this! I read everyone elses and der I should prob write on my own! I mean HELLO! Anyways crazy 2 months! Got a promotion, had my 1st fill, was working on alot of WEDDING stuff, had a few PBS (not fun!) and just had a great time!

I am wearing size 20s now and they are baggy!! I am excited. I cant believe it. I think I was a size 20 in college and that was 10 years ago! I can wear XL tops now in most stores, esp OLD NAVY! That makes me happy!

I need to start back at the gym and be more faithful. I not only have my new life ahead of me but I have my wedding! My dress is too big, I have to have it taken in alot. I knew I should have never bought it but I loved this dress! Oh well!

Back to the doctor tomorrow...2nd fill day. I love my doctor, looking forward to seeing him and getting filled. Not looking forward to liquids and mushies.

Anyways Im back!

Weigh in Weds....

So I have decided I am going to do my offical weigh ins on Wed. I started this on a Wed (surgery I mean) so I think its a good day. So Im down 3lbs! So excited. I have never lost this much weight in my life. I am so excited how this is all going, I mean dont get me wrong, I have my days of doubt and what have I done, but the good days out weigh the bad!

Last night was a stress ful night of non eating! Once a week or so, a few of Howie and my friends meet up at a bar and talk, play some keno, etc. Well the place we went last night had $2 pizzas. Pizza is my trigger food. Old Tara could eat a whole one. New Tara not so much...hmm pizza=throw up=ruin band=no thanks! Anyways, everyone was eating pizza and drinking and I was good and had my water and just a nibble of the cheese off of Howies piece. I was really hungry but really proud of myself!

Still learning how to blog...

Lets get it started...

So this is my 1st post....I have been reading so many blogs since I was banded on Jan 6th that I wanted to join the fun! Anyways to be honest with you the blogs that I have read helped me so much in my post op. To read that someone else was going through or went through what I went through made me feel somewhat normal!

Anywyas I will tell you a little bit about me....Im a 27 year old living in Boston, I work in insurance, I am getting married in August!! Woo. I started my journey in December of 2008 and was banded on Wed Jan 6th at Boston Medical Center. My first week of post op was hard but reading the blogs helped!!

Today was my 1st day back at work since being banded. Some of my co workers know what I was doing and some dont. It was funny day as some people didnt know how to talk to me. I wanted to yell "Its the same Tara! Just lighter!!!" Anywasy I hope this will help me go through my journey and you will enjoy reading!
