Wow!
Slightly less than a month since my last entry, and here I am with another.
I saw the surgeon in Toronto for a fill for my gastric band. That was at the end of April. For the first week or so, I had trouble keeping anything down, but thankfully my stomach settled, and I can eat in moderation again.
On the drive back from Toronto, I could feel a slight burning in my throat, reminding me of acid reflux. So I was very worried about it. But I slept fine that night.
However, the last two nights I've woken up coughing. The acid reflux is, in fact, back. The past two days I've had to get out of bed early because I could no longer lie down because the acid was flowing into my mouth. Yeah, I know, gross.
The night before I went to see the surgeon, I weighed myself. I hate to admit this, but since I had the band drained last September, I gained more than 70 pounds. I knew I had gained weight - it was obvious. But I was still shocked by just how much weight I had put on.
The SG gala is in July. I need to fit into my suit by then. I can't afford to buy new clothes. And I don't even have any casual-dress kind of clothes.
I really need to lose weight. Not just for fitting into my suit. I need to get healthy.
But if this acid reflux gets worse, I don't know what to do. I need to lose weight, but I need to be able to lie down to sleep.
Thankfully, despite the somewhat devastating news about my weight gain, I'm managing to not let myself get too depressed. I'm continuing to stick with the new habits I've developed. Like keeping up with friends' blogs. I'm actually keeping in touch with people.
In some other good news, my mom bought a new car. Traded in a 2000 Toyota Echo for a 2010 Toyota Corolla. It's very nice. Great to have things like power windows and locks. A radio that sounds half-decent. And it's virtually as fuel-efficient as the Echo.
Well, guess what? I don't have anything else to say. I think it's a sign of my better mood that I don't go on at length about whatever problems I'm having. I'm doing my best not to dwell on the negatives.

At least I've got the gf hooked on Mexitaco instead of McDonalds, right?
