They've lost that filling feeling.....
Yea, so I went to the Dr. earlier this week and she says no fill for you. I only go to my Dr. every 6 weeks, so since January 11th, I have lost 14 lbs and she said she is happy with that and doesn't want to do anything right now. At first I was disappointed, but now I realize that is is probably for the best. I am such a worrier anyway that if she did do a fill I would be constantly worrying if I had band erosion or slip...I'm crazy that way! I am encouraged though that where I am now with my fills is doing it's job. I got my dates mixed up and actually went to the Dr. on Monday, so 14 lbs down on Monday and when I got on the scale this morning I had lost another 1.3 lbs. The scale is moving in the right direction and I am happy with that!
I have had issues with protein drinks since my surgery. I can't find one that I actually like, so in my mind I thought I just wouldn't drink them. I mean what would it hurt, right? Wrong! My butt is a little smaller now thanks to it being chewed up at the Dr. for not getting enough protein. So I went to the store last night and saw these new Boost High Protein drinks. I thought what the hey, I'll try it. LOVE IT!! They taste so good, nothing like a protein shake.
The chocolate is killer. I know it doesn't have as much protein as other drinks, but this is better than nothing in my book!
I also wanted to say thank you to everyone for reading my blog and the comments you leave. This is the first blog I have ever done and didn't think anyone, let alone 44 people, would find what I have to say interesting. It is so comforting to know that everyone has gone through or will go through the same thing. I feel like we are some kind of fun and sometimes dysfunctional family :)

I have a confession.....
My name is Kim and I am a reality tv junkie. Let me say though, I only watch the "classy" reality! :) I love the Amazing Race, Shear Genius, Project Runway, The Real Housewives of whatever city at the moment. As I type this I am watching this week's Project Runway!! I don't know what draws me in....well I guess I do. I watch it to a) take my mind off of the everyday things called life b) I really just can't believe that some people act the way they do. It amazes me!! I know that they are probably hamming it up for the camera, but still, it's crazy!
On a happy note.....my husband and I were outside talking to my neighbor tonight and I needed to get something out of my car really fast. We live on a big hill and the neighbors house is down hill from ours so I had to run up the hill to my car. Normally I would have been out of breath and panting and turning red thinking to myself I am about keel over at any moment from a heart attack. Tonight I did not!! I ran to my car, got what I needed and about half way back to my husband it hit me that I was not about to die! That was an awesome feeling :) I am so looking forward to feeling that feeling more and more.

Interesting things about me:
1. I am completely scared of clowns. I don't like clowns at the circus, clown figurines, clown paintings.....they scare me. About 7 years ago my friends and I went to Halloween Horror nights at Universal Studios in Orlando (not sure how they talked me into it) and what they failed to tell me was the theme for the year was demented clowns. I went in one haunted house with them and cried the entire time. After that I did not go on anything else with them, I sat on a bench the rest of the night.
2. I got married at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. Growing up about 30 minutes from Orlando, I was at Disney all the time. I remember when I was little I knew I was going to get married there one day....and I did!
3. I am deathly afraid of sharks. I lived only about 30 minutes from the beach growing up and when my friends I would go, I never went in the water because I thought a shark would come and bite my leg off.
4. I went to Astronaut High School. No, it is not a school for astronauts. No, our mascot was not an astronaut. What do you expect when you grow up on the Space Coast of FL?!
5. I tore the ACL in my right knee when I was 17 years old coming out of Space Mountain at Disney World. I was goofing around with my friends and I jumped up on the moving sidewalk coming off of the ride and my ACL completely tore. I got to ride in a Disney ambulance and go to the Disney hospital!
6. I have a brother that is 10 years younger than me. He is an AWESOME baseball player and one day you will see him play in the majors.
7. In high school my dad took me on a trip to Europe that was comical to say the least. The 2 days we were supposed to spend in Paris we spent in Detroit, MI due to plane malfunctions. When we finally made we only had about 8 hours to see everything. We rode the Eurostar to London. The first few days were wonderful, then our passports got stolen, sort of. We accidently left them in a cab, but he would not come back and return them. We were escorted through the airports because we did not have passports. Good times!!!

NASA Fruit
So, after reading Amy's blog the other day about fruit in a pouch, I wanted to try one. My Publix here had the Buddy Fruits 10 for $10, so basically a buck a piece. I got an apple & cinnamon and an apple & banana (that is all the store had for flavors). I tried the apple & cinnamon yesterday and it wasn't bad, but not my favorite. To me it is the consistency of thick, smooth apple sauce. I just broke open the apple & banana......WOW...LOVE IT!!! I am big fan of bananas so it would make sense that I like this one better! The display in the store was pushing that they come in these pouches like the astronauts use in space....NASA fruit! I would highly recommend these if you are having problems getting in your fruit servings for the day (pointing at myself).

Is it Tuesday yet?
On Tuesday I go to the Dr. hopefully for another fill. I am afraid that she is going to say no fill for you! As I have said before, my Dr. is conservative with the fills, so keep your fingers crossed!!
I don't really have a lot to say tonight, so I thought I would share some pictures with ya'll!
Joe and I at a friends wedding a few years ago

Blah I say, just Blah
I am feeling very blah today. I have gained 2 lbs, I am stressed at work and I am feeling blah. Nothing else to really say right now. I hope everyone has a good night.
