    Tuesday, April 21, 2009 – not enough blog

    Hi all, I’m being told I’m not blogging enough. Well I have an excellent excuse – right? I’m in a true swirl of wedding planning. I’m having a blast being goofy and giddy. My friends and family have made this time really fun. Fred is as excited as I am. I think we are feeling like we are in our 20’s again – only we’re not. That is making everything way fun. My daughter Emily and I went shopping for a dress. I thought we were looking for a matron of honor dress for her. We ended up finding the…

    April 12, 2009 – An amazing week

    Hi everyone, I’m deliriously happy and I’m exhausted. What an extraordinary week this has been. I’m still pinching mysef about Fred and my pending nuptials. I suppose I haven’t spoken much here about Fred because this is such a public forum. It’s one thing to rip open my insides and share my deepest feelings, it’s another thing to pull him into it and expose him to who knows what. 🙂 I suppose I also felt a bit frightened that my hopes were too high and even though I dreamed this would happen, I wasn’t sure it would. Now one would…

    April 5 2009 – Mary Lu and Fred get engaged

    Well, all, with the ups and downs of life and ins and outs of changing my insides, now the personal romantic side of my life has taken a new twist. My relationship with Fred has developed to the place where we’ve celebrated our 1 year together and he asked me to marry him. I was shocked! Somehow I thought I was light years ahead of him in that department and I needed to be patient. I didn’t expect this and I’m really thrilled. We wanted to be sure it was alright with Emily before we told anyone else. It was…

    Thursday, April 2, 2009 – part two It’s easy – – right

    Pat Reddy says to me, “Just eat what you’re suppose to. It’s easy.” Why does everyone say that? If it was easy, I’d do it. If it was easy, I wouldn’t have a lap band. If it was easy, I’d be a master as I always go for easy. Don’t we all go for easy? Brenda gave me two new books with every food in it and how I should eat foods within certain ranges. The most important remains the protein. I need to get 60-70 grams a day. Brenda is to keep 30 or less carbs for the 3…

    Thursday, April 2, 2009 – New doctor

    I visited Dr. Curry today. I really liked him. He seems very knowledgable and actually gave me a fill today with one stick. He does it a little differently than Dr. Sonnastein, but it wasn’t bad. I now have 7 3/4 cc’s of fill in my band. I’m sure I going to the full nine before I’m done. I feel a little restriction, but still feel hungry. I wish that feeling would go away
