We finally have a real fall day today! We took the kids and our nephew to the Bronx Zoo this morning, and it was cold enough that we had to wear jackets. Fall is my absolute favorite season, so I am completely excited about this. Plus, I walked around for two hours so I got some exercise.
The scale is inching downward again since my fill on Thursday, but I'll be interested to see whether it keeps moving. I'm not back down to my most recent low yet, so I'm not in new territory now.
My weight was holding steady at 5.5 cc's but the band was way too tight at 5.75. My surgeon tells me he doesn't like to go in increments smaller than 0.25 cc's for fills, which doesn't make much sense to me. The Hubs says if this fill doesn't quite get me over the hump I should just go in and ask him for 0.1 cc's and say I feel very strongly that he should at least try it. I think the Hubs is probably right. We'll see. I go back in a month.
I have to say, though, it is bliss to not be overly tight. We went to an Indian restaurant last night with some friends, and it was lovely to not worry about whether I'd spend half the night in the bathroom. I had one bite of each of the four appetizers we ordered and about 1/3 of my halibut. No naan for this girl, but it was a great dinner and I was able to relax and enjoy it. Plus, we found street parking in New York City on a Saturday night, which is like winning the lottery.
Way to go on saying "no" to the naan bread...I don't think I could do it...love Naan too much :)
ReplyDeleteYou, I love Indian food, but the hubby does not, so I have not enjoyed it forever....My surgeon generally does .25 CC increments, but I can't see the downside to going lower.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing when you get to that point of restriction where it makes all of the difference in the world.. both your day at the zoo and dinner sound great.. I love the fall.. we get a fire going outside and attempt to burn marshmellows.. hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the restriction but still being able to eat. What a difference it makes!
ReplyDeleteI love the Bronx Zoo. I am looking forward to Fall this Thursday when I come home to Long Island!
I LOVE Fall too... wish I was getting that restriction. I guess I need another fill. The snacking is still getting to me. 3 weeks to go...
ReplyDeleteDH and I SOOO love the Bronx Zoo. We usually take the train into NYC and then the subway to the zoo. We live 15 minutes from the Philly Zoo but the Bronx is just a different natural environment.
ReplyDeleteI adore this time of year...helps with hot flashes.
Sounds like a nice day. Nothing like a crisp fall day in the zoo. Hope the scale keeps inching downward.
ReplyDeleteI usually use plain old sirloin but yesterday I did use the "meatloaf mix", beef, veal & pork. It was so good Kristin, with the shredded zucchini...so moist. Perfect size too!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you can eat! I know that feeling of relief!
ReplyDeleteWe almost went to the zoo yesterday too!!!
ReplyDeleteAm so glad you are not too tight..thanks for the comments, everything seems exagerated 10000% when you have pregnancy hormones running through your veins :-)
I want you to know I wore my Star Wars tee on Friday night, wishing I was at the slumber party.
