Week Six, Day Five

Well, here I am three weeks later. It's been a crazy three weeks (thus, the no blogging). Adam and Brittany had their baby and I spent a week in Salt Lake with them, the 4th of July came and went without too much hoopla and I am just getting slower and less ambitious as the summer goes on.

My 4th and 6th week check ups were just so-so. I did see Dr. Avila for my 4th week check up but had to make an appt. with the new doc, Dr. Davis, for my 6th week visit. Then two days before my appt. they called to say that Dr. Davis didn't have his license to practice in Idaho yet so they had to cancel and I rescheduled for the 5th of August. The bad thing about it all is that I want this band to be tightened and Dr. Avila wouldn't tighten it because you have to wait six weeks for the band to heal before they do. So now he's gone and moved to Seattle and I'm stuck here with a doctor without a license. It's very frustrating and it's hard to make any progress this way. I'm still pretty much at the same weight these past two weeks. I was on a roll for a while but now it's getting easier to eat and I find myself doing things that I shouldn't do or eating things I shouldn't be eating. I'll wait another week and then I think if I'm still waiting I'll be asking for a referral to another doctor who can tighten this thing.

Any way, solid foods are going good, a little too good I think. The hardest thing still is to not drink with my food and then to drink so much water between meals. I keep trying though, hopefully it will get easier as time goes by.

It's 3:10 in the a.m. so I think I'll close here and try to get some sleep. I'm finally tired enough that I think I can sleep. I'll try to make it back here sooner than the last time. Happy dieting!
