Two Months on the Lapband Journey...

19 pounds gone and counting....so far the before and after pictures. It isn't happening as fast as I would like but at least it is happening. I am attending the Lapband support group meetings and even when we eat out, I am eating much less than I use to. Slowly the habits are changing and while I will not say it is easy, I will say it so far its easier than I thought it might be as I am not as hungry. I can tell when I feel full....I have never had a turn off button before so this is progress. I frankly cannot believe I have not had a diet coke in over 9 weeks....but I do not even want one. That is amazing in itself.

Milestones...

Dakota pulled her first tooth this afternoon while she was in the afterschool program. Chuck picked her up and she had to call and tell me. She was very excited! So we are awaiting the tooth fairy's first visit to our home tonight! This first little tooth is the one on the bottom that she first cut when she was about 6 months old. Of course mommie will have to add it to the keepsake box.

Happy 6th Birthday Dakota!!!! (3-7-05)

Look what we got six years ago tomorrow!
