Tomorrow it will be a week since I have 1cc of saline taken out and for the most part, it feels great! I have been able to eat much healthier and it's been more comfortable getting food down. I think there has only been a couple times food felt "stuck" and it wasn't near as painful as it has been.
On the flip side, I feel like I'm eating too much. I just have to be very mindful of what and how i'm eating.
Example, last night we went to Taco Bell and I ate pintos and cheese and 2 volcano taco's. Now before, I could eat the pintos and cheese and maybe a couple bites of 1 taco. BUT, I would end up eating chocolate or ice cream.
Tomorrow is my class, Healthy Creations, we'll see how i've done this week on the scale! Even if it's a pound, it's better than the last 4 or 5 weeks where i've not lost anything.
Enjoy and talk to you soon!

Lake Itasca trip
Saturday was a perfect day for spending time outside! We took a drive to Lake Itasca and spent the day hiking around the park! Even tho the majority of the leaves had fallen, it was still beautiful!
Carver Lake, we stopped and found a geo cache
The Schoolcraft trail (1 mile), this is at the end, a beautiful view of the Mississippi!
Mississippi head waters! This is right where the Mississippi starts!

Like I said, even tho the most, in not all of the leaves had fallen, it was still a beautiful hike!

Hello, went to the dr. Friday and had 1 cc's of saline taken out. It was really nice to be able to actually eat something without struggling with the food getting stuck. I was able to go out to eat with my husband and eat a salad without the stuck pain. And, I actually felt full with eating what I did.
Today I was able to eat chicken, cucumbers and it was great!
Yes, I am fearfull of eating too much. But i'm hoping I have the right amount of fill and therefor I will be able to feel full and not overeat.
It's such a learning process, and I know this will continue to be a huge challange.
I look forward to this week, to eat healthier!
Have a great week!

No more rice for me...
At least that's what i'm guessing was the problem. Sat down last night like most, we gather around the tv with our plates and eat while watching our favorite shows! Steve made chicken on the new grill and it was tender and yummy AND....I was able to eat some. It went down with no problems. It felt so good to enjoy solid food with no problem.
I went upstairs to clean up after supper...ate a few pieces of cooked brocolli and a few bites of rice. UH OH, big mistake. It didn't get stuck but boy did I spend a night in pain. I spent the night going back and forth to the bathroom trying to get the pain to go away by puking it up. NO luck. Finally, about 1/2 hour prior to my normal wake up time, got up drank a big cup of water thinking it would make me puke, no luck with that but it did take some of the pain away. I finally got about 1/2 hour of sleep.
I stuck to liquids today and called my dr to make an apt to have some of my fill taken out. This is kinda scary. What if i'm able to eat...eat...eat? At this point it's the best thing, I probably should have gone in months ago. But, this is a learning experience, one I hope you will benefit from!
Thanks for reading!

Do you ever feel like you just can't keep up?
I'm having one of those days! Actually it's pretty much the way my life goes.....there's so much to do, so many things I feel passionate about but run out of time! Oh, if we could bottle it up (time) and save it! Wouldn't that be splendid!
Going to the Dr on Friday to have cortisone shots in my heels. I just can't take the pain anymore, plus I want to run again and I can't. Ha, not that I ran very fast or far anyway.
Really enjoying the Healthy Creations class I'm taking at Center Court fitness. I've started keeping track of what I'm eating. Yeah, 3 weeks into the class and I finally decide I should follow the rules! LOL
I ended up typing up my own spreadsheet(food diary), rather than hand write the info in the paper they gave us. It's easier for me to work on my computer rather than keep track of papers!
Still no weight loss, I keep loosing and gaining the same 4 pounds. Exercising on a regular basis again so......... Lord I hope some weight starts coming off!
This is getting too long, you won't have time to read it!
take care and I pray you are doing great!
