Just saw the play on Broadway and it was hysterical!!! Highly recommend it if you don't mind profanity and don't get disturbed easily. My husband really enjoyed his birthday dinner at The Palm which was delicious. The only bad part of the night is taking the train home. So tired and won't get home until nearly midnight.
My overall net calories for the day after adjusting for my treadmill walk were about 1600. Not terrible for having dinner at The Palm including 2 glasses of wine and a few bites of dessert.

When do you start to feel the fill? Now have 7.5 cc in 10 cc band
Got a fill yesterday and I am still not sure I feel any different. I did eat my yogurt slower this morning. Yesterday stuck to the liquids and today mushies. I am really going to focus on not eating until I am full and seeing how long I stay satisfied. It is so tough to separate the real hunger from the head hunger.
Goal for today - 80 ounces of water, under 1200 calories, 30-40 minutes on the treadmill. Off to walk.
Have a great day!

It had to be Lindsay Lohan at Dos Caminos! Tried to fool us!
Lindsay Lohan's Week of Partying in New York City
http://www.people.com/. I don't believe there is someone who looks that much like her and Dos Caminos is totally a place she would go.
Thanks for all the comments and support on my pictures!
It has taken me a while to post them. I did pick the worst one of the before pictures but you can tell just how swollen and uncomfortable I was. I truly look pregnant and weighed more than at my pregnancy high.
Today was another good day. Started off with Chobani yogurt then for lunch met two girlfriends at the Japanese restaurant. I had 3 shumai and then ate 1/2 of my sea bass. Was not in the mood for sushi. I took the other half home but them did errands and didn't think it was wise to keep the fish :) One of my girlfriends is just starting to go through a divorce so we were giving her support and just talking through everything. It is hard but she really tried to fix things and now needs to do this.
For snack had a 1 oz piece of Brie from Trader Joe's - my favorite cheese snack and actually for dinner I just had a protein shake because for some reason I was in the mood for one. I will probably have another snack later. Today is a 5-6 small meal day. Have a bit of a headache and just not that hungry today. Hope I am not coming down with something again.
Not that much going on but I want to be a more consistent blogger. Tomorrow and Thursday I have meetings in NYC so need to get some rest. . .

Good morning! The scale was my friend today - now down 38 lbs from high
Forty is so close and I can't even think about 50 -wow will that feel good. Trying to stay on track and so far so good. I am really not happy with how I look in that BOOBS picture. For those of you who weren't there I am the one wearing purple on the right. I know - get over it but if it keeps me motivated, then so be it!
Had a pretty good day yesterday. Stayed right at 1200 calories. Have I mentioned lately how much I love My Fitness Pal? It makes it fun to put foods in and it keeps me accountable since I promised myself I would put down EVERYTHING no matter how bad. On Sunday I even put in the 4 margaritas, chips, guac, fish tacos and I ended with about 1600 -1800 calories for the day which is something I would have been thrilled with prior to being banded.
Crazy morning here so far - my 3 year old got his finger slammed in the door and it was so painful. Luckily my husband was home so he took him right to the doctor and he is so much better at handling those things than I am. He is calm and doesn't really freak out with the crying. He is so great in stressful situtations and emergencies - but I can't for the life of me get him to take out the garbage consistently or turn the lights out when he leaves the room. It must be his military training - he was in the Navy for 5 years before he went to college. And his schooling - he is a psychologist. But it is when things like this happen that I get nervous if one of us isn't home and the boys are with the au pair or babysitter. Next week we are planning to spend a night in the city for my husband's birthday - going to see the show from the creators of South Park - Book of Mormon. I am not a big fan but it is his birthday. . . and its Broadway so I will enjoy either way. Especially being more comfortable in my seat.
I better get to work. Have a great day! :)

Recent Picture - Feb 27, 2011 - Down almost 35 lbs
Here is a picture from last month when I was down almost 35. I definitely see the difference! :)
Now someone has to teach me how to do the side by side pictures.
There is a pretty big difference!
The date on this picture is wrong because I didn't adjust my camera.
This was taken the morning I went in for my lapband surgery on December 20, 2010.
I was laughing that I was actually posing for pictures like I was going into the hospital to give birth.
I look more than 9 months pregnant. I have to learn the whole side by side thing but will post a more recent photo soon.
