Day 15 on my journey - Hello Mushies

Okay, I was seriously nervous about pureed foods b.k.a "mushies". I can honestly say that I went from barely able to sip 64 ounces slowly to getting hungry, wanting to lick everything, and thinking that I can eat the way I used to on Monday. I knew that I would be able to start mushies on Tuesday, but I was a bit scared not knowing what that meant. So at midnight I went to the supermarkets from some acceptable products and at 1 am, I was just a boiling and a blending fool at this point. In addition to seasoning the turkey wings for my families dinner the next night.   I made egg salad, which would be my breakfast and chicken salad for my lunch and it was so damn tasty. The next day I also brought some Maryland Crab Soup which is like having tasty vegetable soup with crab meat. I blended it and it lost no flavor...yum. Last night, I blended the turkey wings and string beans I prepared for my favor and it was so damn delicious.   Okay so I got all this tasty food and cant wait to eat, but imagine my surprise when I go to eat and after placing a few tips in my mouth I am full! WTF? I guess that is what the band does....right?! But no matter how much I read the message boards it didnt prepared me for this actual full feeling, its crazy. Its like you put a spoonful in your mouth and as soon as you get into it a switch goes off and your full in full effect. Its a bitter sweet feeling!

The Mistake of Over-fills

I wanted to post something about all the folks out there getting fills thinking thats what will cause them to drop weight. It's been almost a year for me and I have only lost 45 lbs ( I really only had about 65 to lose). I had fills and fills until I just couldnt keep anything down. I thought I could drop the weight that way and then just have an un-fill after the weight was gone. Boy, was I wrong! After many struggles this year I have learned a few valuable facts that I would like to share with you:   Dont get your band filled past half way. This is true for most people anyway.   We need to EAT in order to lose fat and gain muscle. I went to a nutritionist last week who does training for body builders. I was eating far too few calories. I was working out very hard at about 10 hours a week and getting no where!   Exercise is important but its only 20% - the other 80% is the diet! You must eat lots of lean proteins, no sugar substitutes, no sugar and only natural carbs that are in fruits and veggies.   You must get about 1500-1800 cals in for women if you are doing exercise 4x a week. Now, those calories must be the good kind.   Losing 1 lb a week is awesome! Losing much more than 2 a week is a sure sign that you are losing muscle. Thats not a good thing.   Your body will respond if you follow some of these things. I love to eat and I love to workout. So I was killing myself working out so I could eat a small sugary treat every day. I couldnt understand why the fat wasnt coming off. Now, I understand. It's ALL about the diet.   DO NOT GET OVER-FILLED THINKING YOU WONT BE ABLE TO EAT AND THE POUNDS WILL DROP. you may lose weight on the scale but you will be losing your muscle first and not your fat. HUGE mistake.   Im finally losing the last 20 lbs of fat that I have. With this knowledge, I will be lean and buff in 6-7 months.

Convo with surgeon...

Met with my surgeon last week. Forgot to bring my list of questions, but I did manage to ask him about bougie size. He said he uses a 40, finds that his patients fare better with the 40 versus anything smaller, especially in terms of acid reflux. His success rate is pretty good (I asked him and of course I expected him to say that), hasnt had any sleeve patients die on him and hasnt had any leaks, but he assured me that if there were any complications he and the hospital staff will do their best to accommodate me and make sure i'm well before I walk off their premises.   He also told me that i'll need to bring my cpap machine with me to the hospital. I havent gotten it yet, the medical equipment company is supposed to come to my house on Friday to give it to me and show me how to use it.   I'm also struggling with these damn vitamins. The gummy ones are no problem, but the vitamin D pills sit on my chest all day no matter how much I drink to wash them down. The worst though is the chewable calcium tablets that I purchased. It's like chewing on sweet sand and baby powder. so gross. I cant believe I have to take this crap. I've been a naughty nellie, though. I have iron pills and I havent taken one yet. I know I need them, but I just hate being constipated and having that metallic taste in my mouth. I know, I know, I gotta man up and do what I gotta do.   I'm scheduled to visit the psych dude tomorrow, and once he sends the letter to my doctor's office my paperwork will be submitted to the insurance company. I cant believe I've actually jumped through all these hoops! I guess I shouldnt rejoice just yet, still need to hear what the verdict from the insurance company will be, so I'm trying to play it real cool.   I've been having wonderful dreams lately. Cant remember them all in detail, but I do remember that I seem to be pretty slim and sexy. I guess since I've been visualizin my self losing weight (if I can see it, I can be it!) it's carrying over to my dreams. I still havent told anyone other than hubby, but I am thinking of doing a video blog as suggested by my sleeve sister. I think it will be nice to see the transformation for me, and for anyone else out there on this journey.   I'm cuttin out right here. until next time sleevers...   :tounge_smile:

From: 5 months and HOPELESS! Please help!

Hi all, I am 5 months out and have lost 88lbs which is AWESOME. The whole time though I have been constipated, trying EVERYTHING just to be able to "go" every other day or so but nothing has worked. So I have been using laxatives every weekend to "clean myself out" as I work Monday thru Friday and can''t take them during the week.So unfortunately I can go like 6 days without a BM which is not good.     An issue I'm having is the past few weeks, I am not losing like I was the first 5 months and I'm going out of my mind! Example: I weigh myself in the morning when I get up and say my weight is 177.4lb.s. OKay, fine. So I eat a 6oz. yogurt and a few mini rice cakes.And weigh myself say a half hour later (just for this purpose) and my weight goes up to 178.2lb.s!!!   This is NOT normal for me! Usually after eating that, my weight wouldn't move at all, or go up maybe an ounce. But now it goes way up, even if I drink a protein shake or water!  What's the deal??? Is it because of the constipation and being "FOS" literally?? (I also walk 2 miles a day on top of a very active 8 hour job.) Another example is yesterday, I weighed 177.6lbs in the morning. I had 2 protein shakes,water and 8oz. oatmeal throughout the whole day. I weighed myself that night around 10pm and my weight was 179.2lbs!  Now I know weight fluctuates during the day and that's fine, but this is NOT NORMAL for me. Can someone PLEASE  help me figure this out?? I'm losing faith in myself and having any more weight loss and I have 47lbs still to lose! PLEASE HELP!  DESPERATE!  thank you     Source: 5 months and HOPELESS!  Please help!

Day 6 and I had to get outside!

Since my surgery I have been locked up in my apartment. I was so afraid to walk down those stairs outside. So today I decided that I would take a long hot shower curl my hair put on my eye liner,shadow and run outside lol. All went well with the stairs getting in the car was another story but really not that bad. My first stop was to the locol shopping center to visit my sister at ther job. Right when she seen me she said WOW you look different already! Yes thats what I wanted to hear lol. Then I decied that I could walk around the center and finish at Gaint Eagles. Well by the time I made it to the super market I was completly week it was ok because my boyfriend was with me to support me just in case I couldnt make it to the car. I made it to the car and drank some water but I still wasnt ready to go home yet. So we went to my sisters house and I got and Ice Ball the syrup was diluted with water but after 2 table spoons I was completly sick. Now this is the first time I had this flush uneasy feeling. So now I know I will not be trying anything to sweet no time soon. My emotions keep going up and down tears some nights happy the next day. I guess these feelings come with the process. I have lost 17 pounds as of today and I think thats way to fast. Tomorrow I start the Full Liquid diet so Im waiting patiently for some cream soup and a yougart.

If a picture paints a thousand words then my blog is gonna be short today! :)

Somewhere just over 130 days into my journey I am down a little over 60 pounds, more inches than I have counted in awhile, about 4 pants sizes, and at least 2 top sizes. There's the overview!

The Gym and one of the reasons I hate it.

It is too dark now in the morning to get a ride in before work. I am more of a morning person and tend to hit the hay early so I do not like to go work out after work. I went back to the gym near my house. Everything was fine did my time on the elliptical. Went into the locker room to shower and get changed. Now I remember one of the reasons I stopped going to the gym. The homophobic comments ran rampant between these 3 guys. Why is it that straight men have to make gay jokes in front of each other when they are naked? I guess it is to try to prove to one another that they are not gay when seeing each other naked. I think if this continues I am going to speak up.

Worried about new pain

So i had my surgery end of March, so soon to be 5 months, and for the past 3 weeks or so, ive been getting a sharp pain in my stomach where the port (i guess thats what its called) is. When i touch it, you can feel it hard. I know they say the more weight you lose the more visible it is and easier to touch. But ive barely lost anything, and its almost sticking out. And its very painful, almost like needle is trying to poke it. I cant lay on my stomach anymore, and it hurts when im in certain angles on my side. Im afraid its moved (if thats even possible). Any ideas what it could be, any similar experiences with anyone?

Not sure what to do

I had an unfill last month because I could not keep anything even water down,,, Well since then it seems like all I have been doing is eating eating eating... I got on the scale (something I never do) and I was up 5 pounds from the last time I got on the same scale... I am so scared that I am putting weight back on... I have worked so hard to take it off... I am so close to losing 100 pounds that I don't want to seem like I am failing now... I was working out but my fibromyalgia is so out of control right now that I can barely walk around the house some days let alone go to the gym... I have an appointment on the 28th for a fill... I hope that this one does ok... I need to find some at home low impact workouts other than walking... I know I can get back on track it's just a matter of finding the way again...

UHC BAILS

Just got a call from my Doctor stating that they United Healthcare has informed them that they are not picking up bariatric surgery as of 2012. If you do not have your surgery buy 12/31/11, they will not cover your surgery. They say that they are doing this to cut back cost. I can't belive they are doing this. I am soooo disappointed... I can't afford a 12000.00 surgery. Anyone else know anything yet?

Soooooooo tired

Had a rough 24+ hours -- bad cramps & diarrhea from eating cottage cheese with fiber already mixed in at least once a day for 3 days. I had complications from my surgery in June (sleeve leaked --> abdominal abcess --> IV nutrition only thru a PICC line for 2+ months until stomach healed), and I was only just permitted by my surgeon to begin eating very soft foods 4 days ago. I was so dying to chew something after all that time, and the cottage cheese is the only thing I'm currently allowed to eat that needs any chewing. So no more cottage cheese with fiber for me! At least, not until constipation becomes a problem. Funny thing is, pre-surgery, I disliked cottage cheese, but now it's heavenly to me!   Anyway, I slept so much yesterday trying to recuperate from my intestinal difficulties, that I had terrible insomnia last night. I think I got less than four hours of sleep. Add to that the sudden reduction of calories from them cutting my IV nutrition in half 2 days ago, and I'm really draggin' today.   To top it off, my husband was changing the bandage on my abdominal drain this morning, and when he was cutting the paper tape around the tube, he nicked it, causing all the pressure to release! That was stressful! Fortunately, he was able to "repair" it using some of the specialized plastic bandage covering that was left over when Home Health was changing my PICC line dressing. I'm fairly certain my surgeon is going to take out the drain later today when I see him, anyway, so I'm not terribly worried about it now. I just hope I'm not too sleepy when I'm driving up to see him.   I'm not feeling too terribly sleepy at the moment, so I think I'll attempt to go for a short walk while I still have some time on my lunch hour. Wish me luck!   Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Too Tight = Not Good

Okay- I am really thinking this fill is TOO much for me. After 1 friggen spoonful of egg beaters I was sliming like a rabid dog and threw up twice-nothing like standing over a toilet for over an hour. I called my doc for an unfill tomorrow morning. I HATE doing that because I want to lose weight, but I am going on vacation Thursday and won't have my medical team on stand by-plus I don't want my entire vacation memories to be of me paying homage to the porcelain god! I'll be in New Orleans on then a cruise-I do want to be able to eat and drink (yes drink). I don't want to gain weight, but of I do it's not the end of the world. Maybe the swelling will go down tonight and I can skip the unfill-but that's not the way to bet

People... UGH!

One of the strangest things happened to me today. I went to a yearly meeting with my agency; and I saw a co-worker. She walked up to me and said, “Hey girl how are you? I see you have lost a some weight you feeling okay?’. My first expression was wow the nerve of some people. If I was ill what would make her think I would discuss it with her?   My response to her was, “I am feeling great”.   I have only lost 38lbs. I could only wonder what she would have said if I have met my goal weight... SMDH

Finally-things seem to be working!!

My grade school reunion was fun. I did drink, but I also got a lot of walking in! My best friend noticed I lost weight and said I looked good-but no one else did-WTH? I lost 30 pounds and probably 40 since the last time I saw my cousin and she was there with my neice. I looked at the photos and while I do look better I still don't like how I look in pictures (will that ever change I wonder?).   The reunion was down the shore-I had a slice of pizza on the boardwalk-BIG mistake!! I was sick for hours afterwards. I threw up twice on the boardwalk -gross I know! Got back and still felt sick with sliming. I really started to question if I should get the fill on Monday-especially with a cruise this week.   Monday I got on the scale and I lost 2 pounds! Awesome!! (I only get weighed once a week). I decided that a .5cc fill would be good for my vacation-but the doc gave me 1cc. Wow! I'll say it again...Wow! For those of you who haven't been filled to the point of Wow, your time will come! I could not eat anything afterwards. I know you aren't suppose to eat after a fill-but with my other fills I was still able to nibble-but not this one! I could barely drink anything. Today I can drink, but I haven't tried food yet. I got on the scale and it's another 2 pounds gone! Wow! This entire process is finally kicking in!   When I was at the doctor's office I overheard 2 male patients say that they lost 100 pounds and the other had lost 140 pounds!! Another wow!   I am feeling positive and my decision and more determined than ever. I also think going to the gym has had a very positive effect on helping me lose weight. I feel like I am doing something very useful when I work out-something for me-something other than sitting on the couch! I even plan to work out on the cruise ship!   So it took 3 months for all the elements to come together-but I do feel a forward motion!!   I am glad I didn't wait 6 weeks between fills! As a matter of fact I had 3 fills within 6 weeks! I just don't see the sense in waiting if they weren't doing anything. Also I get free fills for the first 90 days after surgery, now I have a copay of $15 and they book the fills 4 weeks apart instead of 6-interesting.
