Hi all,
Here are a couple of new links. The first is a link to my revised weight loss tracker and the second is my menu for 1/31-2/5. Both are Excel 2007 files. Please let me know if you can't read them or need a lower version of Excel.
Enjoy!

Week 6 post-op
Hi all,
Well, it's week 6 post-op and I've had a slight increase in my weight. 1.4 lbs isn't a lot, but there shouldn't be any. Several factors contributed to this. Not eating "right" which is important. I haven't had pizza or burgers or anything but even the "healthy" food when not eaten in the correct portions can be harmful and not enough water has been consumed. Insomnia also had a hand in this. It's been really bad; especially this weekend. All is not lost however. I know I will get back on track. I am going to begin uploading my diet plan. It shouldn't be too difficult to stick with it. My landlord has seen fit to increase my rent 23%. In this economy, that's pretty low and equates to almost $200 per month more. That will result in my monthly food budget to be reduced to $70 per month. That's not much given the price of food, especially the healthy stuff a lap-bander should be eating. Hopefully I'll find a second job pretty soon (and be healthy enough to work it).
Anyway, here is the week 6 post-op video.
Enjoy!

Welcome to The Banded Libraran's Blog
Hi everyone,
Welcome to my new home. If you came here from Michael's Mind: What Thoughts I Think, don't worry. That site is not going away. I wanted to make a special place to post all of my lap-band information.
I also have my new book blog -- Michael's Book Shelf: What I read and Write.
I also still have my YouTube channel -- LibrarianMichael/The Banded Librarian.
I know that's a lot to take in however, if you subscribe to my YouTube channel and "follow" my blogs. You'll know every time there is a new video or blog posted. It's easier for you and good for me.
See you all in the internet!
Michael
Michael's video blog #14 - lap-band and life update
Hi all,
Well, the big push is on to both get published and try to make some extra money. I've submitted a book and poem to publishers and had both rejected. I'm a real author now! :)
I currently have my first picture book submitted to a literary agency and hope to hear back soon. I've also signed up with a couple of online sites (eLance and ChaCha) to try to earn some extra money. These of course are just supplemental sources. I may need to find a second regular job soon as well.
So, anyway, here is my new video blog. Please remember to subscribe/follow this blog so I know you're out there.
Bye for now!

Video Blog #13 - lap-band update, new weight-tracking spreadsheet, etc.
Hi all,
Here is video blog #13.
In this video I talk about my weight loss progress after the lap-band surgery, show you the new weight loss tracking Excel file I created (link below), and give some feedback on a couple of websites I've been using for support pre-surgery.
So, enjoy the video and feel free to download and use the weight-loss tracker spreadsheet.
Please comment or email me if you have any suggestions or would like me to personalize the spreadsheet for you or would just like to chat.
