3 Month Bandiversary

Three months ago today I was banded. I haven't regretted it, not even one time. There certainly are days I have been frustrated....like when the scale doesn't move. Or when I really want to eat a big ole piece of cornbread. Or when I have to pee 5, 672 times a day. But not one time has that frustration turned into a regret.

Here are some things that I have not eaten in 3 months:

French Fries (haven't missed them)
Sandwiches (I do miss a good grilled cheese)
Rice (oh man, fried rice I do miss you)
Steak (never really ate much any way)
Biscuits (I miss this the most)
Cornbread (you know a southern girl like me misses this!)
Cereal (doing fine without it)
Poptarts ( yum...but I have been fine without it)
Cake (hasn't bothered me a bit)
Eat fast food (I think Chick Fil A still has the missing poster of me up)

I'm sure there are many more, but those are the ones that instantly popped in my head. I have only had 1 Mountain Dew in 3 months...I deserve some kinda award for this one. And yes, I do miss it...every day.

Here are some things I do every day now...

Drink at least 64 ounces of water (most days it's closer to 100)
Track every bite that goes in my mouth (had never done this before)
Think about what I am going to eat (ate whatever I wanted before)
Stay up from morning till night without a nap (weekends don't count....love me a Sunday afternoon nap)

I wish I could say I am off all meds...but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. Yet, I still have no regrets.

Toodles!
