Happy 4th of July

Not so much for me. I knew the weekend would be rough. I thought I had a pretty good handle on it..until I stepped on the scale! 186 lbs. My friend says a quick gain is usually water weight. I also was told not to weigh myself so often. I tend to check my weight every other day. It is hard not to get frustated. I keep going back over everythng I have eaten & had to drink. I have not been as diligent as I should, but have not gone that far off the grid. I guess this is my proof that "a little" is too much! I see my Dr. tomorrow. I was so proud of myself for losing 4 lbs over the past few weeks, not so much the 1 lb I have to show for it now.
I am drinkng more water, eating right. I had an Italian sausage with some onion, green pepper & mushrooms for lunch, NO BREAD. I am trying not to get too discouraged. The lap band isn't a magic wand & it doesn't work overnight. My Doc's scale will tell if the extra weight is water gain or just plain gain. My old brain says eat a bag of cookies with milk & to hell with it. It is hard to argue with that! But instead I will have some water with fruit punch MIO & maybe even a sugar free popsicle!
Truth: Hmmm, for today, the truth is.. I am really bothered by my weight gain!
