I cannot believe that it is September already.
Trying to become friends with my lapband and get into the "live your life after lapband" thing -.
I was just reading "Island Bandit" and now realize why my own lap band has been giving me a hard time - some days throwing up every thing and some days being 100% in harmony with the darn thing! I'll be glad when hurricane season is over!
I only lost 4 pounds during the month of August and I am determined to do better in September - I am hoping to be at 150 by Christmas day - which is another 12.5 pounds to go.
My original goal weight was 140 (so that I could could finally be a "normal weight" ) but now I am rethinking that - maybe 150 will be ok - I am wearing size 10 jeans and medium tops which means when I have lost another 12 pounds I will be at size 8 - wow! Maybe what I will do is maintain at 150 for a few months before I try to get to 140. Anyway, I'll see how I feel when I get to 150 (classed as "overweight) :(

No to an Unfill
I have decided not to go the unfill route -
I am going to try eating "mushies" for the next 5 days and see if I can keep all of that down and hopefully this will give my stomach a rest !

Not feeling hungry
I have been back from Nova Scotia for two weeks now and I just have no interest in food at all - other than maybe cheese and ice cream.(icecream being a no.. no !)
Sometimes I think I may actually feel hungry but once I eat a bite or more - I don't want to eat any more.
An hour or so ago I threw up crackers and peanut butter that I eaten for a snack - - I have been doing that a few times a week since I got back!
Has anyone experienced anything like this and how did you get back to eating again and actually wanting to eat!
Never thought I would have no interest in food !!!

Vacation over :(
These last 6 weeks have gone by so fast -
I am back home now and trying to get use to the heat again - and boy do I mean Hot !!!!
I tried to soak up all the wonderful cool weather while I was in Nova Scotia - temperatures from low 50's to high 80's - the only thing is that when it was in the 80's it was a dry heat and unlike here it was bearable ! It always cooled down in the evenings though - it only rained about three times while I was there.
I walked 3 to 4 hours most every day - all my family thought I was crazy - cause even when it rained - I just put on a rain coat and put up my umbrella and off I went.
I use to walk down to the Dartmouth Ferry and went over to Halifax that way or walked over the Dartmouth bridge to Halifax - I mostly liked to go on the ferry though because once off the ferry there was lots of hilly streets to climb - I loved every moment of my walking.
Only had one bad situation with my band and a couple of little ones but on the whole I did very well -
I went for my official weigh in on Tuesday and I lost about 13 1/2 pounds while I was there so that was great - works out to about 2 pounds a week loss.
I am now wearing size 10 slacks and medium tops :)
While there I bought a few things - mostly from thrift shops - like "Frenchy's and "Salvation Army" - all had original price tags on them for a fraction of their price - If I lived full time in Canada or the United States, I would never buy anywhere else but in the "thrift" shops !
I hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of blogging !

Bad day today
I have been PB'ing like crazy today - woke up this morning and tried to take my vitamin pills, etc., but after the second one, it got stuck.
Tried to drink some tea - got about 1/4 of a cup in me - could not eat a thing.
Tried to eat lunch - got one mouthful of seafood chowder in me and had to run to the bathroom - lucky for me it was two seconds away from the table we were sitting at. I went for a walk when we go back to their house and I threw up about three times and was sliming like crazy the whole time. Now it was 4 oclock and I hadn't eaten anything all day!
I am staying with my sister and her husband for a few days - they didn't know about the lapband - but with my eating so little , etc., I could see they were worried about me - so I sat down with them and told them about the fact that I did have the lapband and all about it.
I guess the travelling by plane and being in a different climate, etc., has caused my lapband to tighten up - anyway _ I felt emotionally better after I told them.
My brother-in-law went to the drug store and got me some Gravol to take - I had forgetten that that is what you should take when you have such a bad stomach - so I took the dosage too fast and threw up everything - looked like food from the last couple of days - anyway - once that happened I felt 100% better and took another dosage of gravol and now I feel human again.
I looked on the internet to see if there were any lapband centers in Halifax but it looks like there isn't - bummer!

Nova Scotia
Saying hi to you all from Dartmouth Nova Scotia - It's wonderful to be back home in Nova Scotia - the weather has been 90% sunny - I have been doing alot of walking - things have changed alot in downtown Halifax - I can't believe it!
It was so warm today that I was actually sweating as I walked along - my brothers are telling me I must have brought the sun with me cause it has been raining in Halifax/Dartmouth for the last month and a half - and since I have been here the sun is back again so they are all happy to see the Sun and dry streets :)
Have a great evening everyone!
