Back to Basics - like, for reals.

Whoa baby. Today's fill has really brought me "back to basics." I have a band in there. You know that contraption that helps you lose weight??? DUH!!! I'm sipping, not guzzling. I had soup (about 3/4 cup) for lunch...and I am still satiated (that's a word I haven't used in a while!) I CAN survive on small amounts!!! I can sip, sip, sip.

I was even going to whip out my Lap Band Bible. (the thing I carried around with me everywhere the first few months...) BUT I can't find the darn thing. In the process of looking for it I did clean out the china closet - where junk mail goes to die. I will find it...and post some schtuff from it because it is a really helpful little book!!!

NSV: I went to the local cafe and picked up Chris's supper. A mouth watering chicken fried chicken, fries, green beans and rolls. I cut up his chicken (because he is spoiled and I always cut his meat) and didn't even want a bite!!! I just sipped on my tomato soup like a good bandster!!!

Right now my tummy is growling and I know that I got nowhere near enough calories, protein, etc today. (I tried Muscle Milk this am....eeewwww grossssss) so I will sip my "cut" tea (unsweet with a splash of sweet from Sonic) and go to bed.  A grumbly tumbly kind of makes me happy - it means I am on track!! AND the track is where I will be first thing in the morning!!! (I tend to ramble more on an empty stomach!!!)
QUESTION: so, what's the deal with option to follow blogs you are already following using "Friend connect" It sooo confuses me!!!

    And good luck with the fill.
