Just incredible

I knew that getting The Lap Band would change my life in one way or another, but i really wasn't prepared for THIS. I'm no longer hungry, I no longer get cravings, and I'm completely satisfied off of just a few sips of broth! I'm still in quite a bit of pain which is expected, since they DID cut me and tinker with my tum-tum, but the pain is slowly yet surely going away.

Never thought I'd be saying such a thing, but I really DO think that this operation was an excellent idea! I was very skeptical going in to it, but now I'm a full-on believer!

I have decided to name my Lap Band "Ron Jeremy", because just the thought of Ron Jeremy being inside of me makes me lose my apetite.

P&C were nice enough to let us borrow Brittany over the weekend, and I really don't see how we could have done it without her. She was an absolute godsend, taking care of Molly and fetching me drinks all the time. I tried to reward her with the gift of Irene (the bottom-half of a manequin that we converted in to a floor lamp many years ago), but P&C declined. I guess once you get non-used furniture that all matches, it's hard to accept half a manequin in to your home. So Irene has been promised to Brit as part of the furnishings for her first apartment, whenever that may happen :)

We got about 80% of Britan't costume for the ECCC completed this weekend, I just need to re-do the lightning bolt. It came out all funky. [livejournal.com profile] khristle seems to be havng a blast sewing it al together, though, and her skills just grow more and more impressive each day!

I'm so glad that you decided to do something to improve your health. Good luck with it and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Now.. did I something about costumes? 8-D *makes me very excited* Must see what you're doing and get tips. I'm a newbie at it and have lots of ideas in my head that I need to create.

Yes, costuming! We're dressing-up my teenage niece as Mary Marvel for the costume contest, and it looks liekit's coming along rather nicely! It's a very simple costume, and the first time I've ever put something together that wasn't my own creation.
