Lola, the loosey goosey

Okay, I'm not going to re-post everything I just wrote on my other blog, so if you're interested in baby things and tummy photos, go here.

I also wanted to post here and say how utterly grateful I am for this band. Oh. My. Gawd. I haven't seen any real weight gain yet; a few times I've thought I may have gained a few pounds, but it just comes back off after some time (usually after I change what I've been eating). I don't want to change my ticker because I doubt it will stay like this forever, but I'm actually 234.3 today, a pound and a half lower than my ticker weight!

I've also heard that the band will get tighter with pregnancy. Maybe I'm just not at that point yet, but so far I think it's actually gotten LOOSER. I ate a hamburger last weekend, and not a little thing from McDonald's, either! It was a big ol' bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. My band allowed me to eat exactly half of my burger and fries, but I just couldn't believe I actually took bites of a burger, bread and all, and didn't get stuck at all. Lunch time is still touch and go with what I can and can't eat, but by dinnertime Lola is a little Loosey Goosey. I love love love my band. I eat what I want, I don't gorge myself, and I'm happy.
