Back from "The Guilt Trip"

My mom looks a little worse for the wear but hey, after almost two weeks in the hospital, who wouldn't, right? She is feeling better and was so happy to see me which should make me feel better but it makes me feel guilty that I live so far away! We will be driving up to NY on July 30 and will be there for 9 days so I'm not feeling too guilty about only staying for 2 days.

On the Band front, I am still a little tight but nothing like last week before my unfill. My coffee still does not want to go down in the morning but I definitely loosen up as the day goes on. I had a few "stuck" episodes in NY but I really think it has more to do with just not paying attention when I am eating out and not chewing enough. I am definitely feeling restriction though and feeling satisfied while eating very little.

I have a 10:30 appt. with my trainer this morning so I am trying to drink a protein drink before and still a little tight. The hiccups are back! I think with this fill, this not being able to comfortably drink liquids in the morning is the most annoying thing! Normally, I would have coffee and than think about eating something after 10 a.m. but because I will be training/exercising, I thought I should get a little something in before. I guess my Band doesn't give a rats ass! It is not ready to let ANYTHING past this morning!

I will be back later....have a great day everyone!

Glad to hear your mom is feeling better. I know what you mean about the guilt of living far away. I have guilt everyday. Have fun wit the trainer!

I'm happy to hear your mom is doing better. I know you will be awesome at the trainer and if it is any consolation, my band seems to be tight in the mornings if i don't get a good nights sleep (I know that's odd), but by the end of the day, I COULD eat a horse. I am still trying to find that sweet spot. I'm in the ballpark!!

How funny: my verification word is pubcle. What an odd word.

Nice to hear that your Mom is feeling better. How wonderful you can go up for 9 days soon!!!

I'll be in Atlantic City on July 23-24th visiting friends...then to Bridgewater for a training class. Hope it isn't too hot over there!

I know what you mean about being tight in the mornings - I still have that problem although mine is loosening up a little now but I'm not getting a fill until the first week of August as I don't want to do it before I go out of town!!

Glad your mom is feeling better. And good for you for getting to the gym. I'm tighter now in the morning and find it hard to eat any solids. Am considering an unfill so I can eat more. I think it might be the heat or the exercise. Strange little band.

It is good to hear that your mom is out of the hospital and great that you get to visit her for awhile the end of the month.

I can't wait until I feel real restriction from my band. I have never felt really tight and have been able to eat anything. I could use a little restriction right now. I'm the least hungry in the evening, so it is odd that so many people say they are the least hungry in the am. Maybe after I have more restriction that will be the case too. :)

Way to go working out with your trainer! Happy weekend!
