Hi everyone,
I have missed you all. I am so happy to say that I am back. I now have internet at home so I can start blogging.
Update:
Life, we are getting through it day by day.
Band news, I really need to blog... not doing so great there. About a 3 pound gain. I will finally be getting a fill on Tuesday so I am looking forward to having restriction once again. Its only been three months since my last fill.
Love you all,
Ang

What scale do you use?
I have seen these posts around quit a bit and NEVER paid any attention to the comments. My scale worked great. It was off only .2 from the Drs office so I was happy.
This morning, I got on a scale and had an ALL TIME LOW!!! A low I haven't since since January 2 or 3rd of 1999 after leaving my husband and losing weight. How excited was I this morning? Woohoo I couldn't believe it. Well, I got off the scale and did a little happy dance, literally, I really did and I got back on the scale. MISTAKE, I had gained 3 pounds after my happy dance. Got back on again, I weighed differently. Either I am gaining and losing weight within seconds of each other or I need a new scale.
I love my weight watchers scale that I currently have. Now I don't like it so much since it took away my all time low. :(
What do you use?
What have you used?
What should I stay away from?

Just an update on my band and life
It feels like forever and a day since I last blogged.
I got a bit wrapped up in the holiday and got to spend four days with my girls. My little runt is finally talking up a storm. She had me in tears so many times over the last few days. I couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments. Granted she is almost 2 and is barely talking, but now she is making up for lost time. Just a couple of weeks we had our first form of communication (she would put her finger in her mouth to let me know she wanted something to eat or drink) and now she is "talking". I can't imagine what I am going to do when she puts more than two words together or forms a sentence.
Here is the latest in life:
- Dad is in the hospital. We almost lost him. He is a paraplegic and is prone to bladder infections. Well, this one went septic. He has been in the hospital since last Tuesday.
- Baby Isabella came home from the hospital last Wednesday. She is thriving.
- My house is almost all decorated for Christmas. I may not be unpacked but I definitely have a festive house.
- My oldest daughter says that Christmas is "Jesus Birthday." She makes mama proud too.
Band update:
- After my second fill I was super duper tight. I lost almost 5 pounds during the 48 hours of liquids I was on too. I was as tight as could be. Or so I thought. :(
- I was able to eat anything and everything I wanted over the weekend. Bread, absolutely no problem. That really sucks for me.
- I managed to lose a pound over the holiday.
- I seem to be able to eat fast, not chew well, and eat often. Other than portion size, I wouldn't know I had a band.
- I think I need to work my band more than I am. That is my plan anyways.
- I am still drinking before, during, and after a meal. I am not able to overcome this. I do it subconsciously that I am I left thinking WTF after I have done it.
- I didn't take one of my blood pressure medications which is a diuretic since last Wednesday, I am hoping to see a loss by tomorrow.
- I should be grateful for the loss I have had and not dwell on the fact that it isn't coming off as fast as it once was.
NSV's:
- I meant to post this one sooner. I moved into "my" bathroom at my house a couple of weeks ago. My shower is just a stall. When I went to shave my legs I didn't have a ledge to put my foot on so, I just bent over and shaved. After the fact I realized WOW!, I don't need a ledge my stomach isn't in my way like before.
- I decorated the outside palm trees with Christmas lights and never got tired, winded, or took a break. I am still amazed at this one.
- My car seat has a memory button that I programmed back in 2009 sometime... I now need to adjust it. My stomach isn't in the way like before.
- I went all four days off without a nap and was almost constantly doing something. Don't get me wrong, by the end of the day I am exhausted and feel like I could sleep standing up. My point is: I can make it through a day not as exhausted as I was months ago.
- I have lost nearly 70 pounds since I first saw my surgeon.
- I am finally feeling "lighter"
Have a good day all!

What I am Thankful for
My daughters: I love you girls more than you will ever know or can possibly imagine. The two of you have made my life complete. You girls, will always be my love and joy. You are also my greatest accomplishment in life.
My sister: In so many ways you are my best friend. We fight a lot, (over nothing really) but we love each other to no end. You are my rock sister. You are ALWAYS there when I need you. I know you won't read this, but I love you dearly.
My friends:
Blondie, my bond to you is no different than the bond to my sister. I love you girl. Almost 30 years later and I still turn to you.
D, even though it seems we have reached the end of our friendship, I will love you dearly and cherish all the fun times we had. I pray for time to put us back to where we were.
Rose, we are living our child dreams we just aren't together. I am so proud of you and all your accomplishments. You are the successful one out of all of us. You go girl!
Maggie, my dearest friend on the earth. I wish we lived closer.
Ron, thank you for being you.
Sandi, for what you tried to do for our family. I still wish things were different.
My family: Mom, Dad, Brother, I love you!
My employer: I am fortunate to have a job that provides a roof over our head and food on our table. Just fortunate to be employed.
Our new home: It is just what the girls and I needed. We were fortunate to find the right home at the right price and at the right time. God works wonders.
Thank you God for taking care of my daughters during their surgeries and keeping them healthy the rest of the time.
Thank you God for taking care of Baby Isabella.
Thank you God for Baby Kelsee.
Thank you God for blessing me with my wonderful life.
Edited to include my Lap Band thanks.
I am thankful for my Lap Band and the opportunity it is giving me to be healthy once again.
Thank you LOLA, my Lap Band for the weight loss tool I needed for the 27 pound loss since surgery on August 19th.
What are you thankful for?
