Just Another Day

Well, I made it through my first shift back at work. But I have to say, I was BEAT this morning! Thankfully, it wasn't a hughly busy shift, so I could pace myself, sip on my water all night, got to take a break, etc. Some nights it is so crazy that even a bathroom break is out of the question (sorry, TMI!). Only problem was, I was way to beat to swim with my roommate this morning before going to bed. I got home and told her, "sorry, I am headed straight to bed!" And I slept like I had died. So now it is back to work again tonight and tomorrow, and then I have a couple of nights off, which will be nice.   When I got home this morning, I made my usual "Pit stop" at the scale on my way to bed, and was disappointed to see that I weighed the same as yesterday morning. Sort of discouraging. I walked a lot last night at work, and thought that would help in the weight loss battle. But then I know that weight loss isn't always smooth and even.   I was somewhat discouraged when I got to work last night. I had told two people at work (IN CONFIDENCE!) about the upcoming weight loss surgery, and when I got to work, it seemed like EVERYONE knew I had had the surgery, that I had gone to Mexico to have it, etc. I am not sure which one of my co-workers "spilled the beans", but am sort of upset that one or both of them would tell something that I had told them in confidence, and asked them NOT to tell anyone about! I am a contract worker, and did this between contracts, so it isn't like I had to inform administration or HR about the surgery. For all they knew, I was just taking some time off between contracts.   I had tons of "unsolicited" advise last night, about my diet, my weight loss, my vitamin intake, etc. There are three gals at work who have had various bariatric procedures (not sure what exact procedure) and one of them came to me to tell me how it was "the worst thing she had ever done in her life!" Now why would she tell me that? I am working hard to make a success of my surgery and post-op experience, and she tells me about her infections, her subsequent surgeries needed to "fix what the weight loss surgery did to me", etc! I mean, how depressing. I guess some people just can't let someone else be happy that things are going right!   Oh well, enough complaining. Have to start getting ready for work. Hope all you pre and post op Sleevers are doing well. Talk at you more later............

Are You Listening

Hello everyone, Need someone to listen to me. I am having a hard time today. I am on my 4th day of pre-op diet. I needed someone to know how I feel today because I need to be held accountable for my actions. I can't Lie to my LB Family because you know how I feel and what i am going through. No one is at home so i was going to stop and get me a good old Southern Plate from this plase call Sweet Georger Brown. So I have to stick to it and be strong I can't let myself down nor you. I think I need another variation of foods I could eat .(bored of the shakes) Well i will talk later . Thank You for Listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this something you bring up in any conversation..?

When your younger, where do you picture yourself... Never pictured myself flying to Mexico from Canada to get Weight Loss Surgery. Is this something people keep a secret, or is this something that I should be shouting from the rooftops..? Knowing that this is probably the biggest decision i have made thus far in my lifetime, knowing that My will to be 100% completly satisfied with myself is stronger that most ?... I dont think this is something to be embarrased about. I think it's a complement to who I am.   I am glad to join other with the same feelings...   ...but, my question, is this something you tell people, is this something you talk about?.. . . . . t h o u g h t s ? . . . . .

All Done With Chemo

Had my last chemo treatment a week ago. Just now starting to feel a bit more like myself. My oncologist tells me the rule of thumb is to double the number of months you went through treatment and that's a rough estimate of when you'll actually feel like you did before treatment. So for me that'll be around January 2012. Lost my hair - though it is coming back already - and my eyelashes- which really sucks as I consistantly feel like I have grit in my eyes. Biggest side effect is the fatigue which varies from day to day but hasn't been so bad that I've been nonfunctional. Very proud of myself that despite being on heavy duty steroids the day before, day of and day after chemo(including extra given with the chemo), I didn't go crazy eating and only gained 9 pounds through treatment. I was warned before the last go-round in 2000 that I could gain up to 40lbs during the process - which I did plus more! I was given the same warning this time and it scared the crap out of me since I battled to get banded and have struggled to make it work. My oncologist says I can resume adjustments whenever I want, but I think I'm going to give it a month or so to settle out especially as my immune system will be compromised for awhile.   Whew - tired already - Nap Time!

still holding....

My weight is still holding. I have started going to curves and have been feeling great. I just hope that my next fill can get me past this hump.   Looking forward to Onederland. Still the same few pounds away.   ~Kris

3 year Bandiversary.....

I do not know what made me think of getting on here. Have not done so in almost two years! Wish I could say I had made a lot of progress since then. Have sure NOT. This three year thing is getting to me more than I thought it would. I have lost about 41 lbs. I need to lose about 50 more. Not a thing happening in that area. In fact, I was pretty stable but now it is creeping UP. I feel like I need to GRAB on the side of a cliff to stop this, but do not know how.   I exercise by brisk walking 1/2 hr. to an hour almost every single day. I eat as little as I can. I really do. Sometimes I fix a plate, end up only eating half of it. I am a terrible water drinker and I know that. I really do not think that is the thing that is causing this problem. I do not diary my foods. I just cannot get myself to do this. I know that would help. Otherwise, I am healthy. Good BP, Cholesterol OK, etc. Just cannot get this weight thing to work. I am feeling like trying Weight Watchers again. I even tried Alli. Gained on that last month. Does this sound like my same old same old routine?? Yup. But now I have the band to deal with too. I really think my metabolism just super adjusts. I only have half a thyroid due to a goiter. The other half now has three large finger like goiters. I take my meds there religiously. But I think the 2-3 times over the past three years I have really jolted my metabolism I got a bit off, and then my body adjusts. I have been to the endocrinologist. My TSH and TH levels are normal. So they say that is not it. I guess I do not do some of the things like journaling because I just do not feel they help. I have in the past...to no avail. Last time I went to WW I sat in the meetings week after week, following the program best I could, pretty well, and lost nothing while others did. It is pretty humiliating. So this time I will try at home....probably will not help. I go to the doc every four weeks, if the bariatric specialist does not know how to help me, then how am I supposed to figure this out?? I do feel better. I wear two to three sizes smaller. My clothes all fit from last summer, jeans go in dryer and still fit, etc. Lots of good things I guess. I am just TIRED of being this size. I am tired of doing the best I can, of trying to watch my amounts and keep moving. Just for nothing to happen or now to gain.   If you are new to the game, do NOT read this. I hope that everyone has the greatest success with their surgery! I have had some success. Just not what I wanted. Seems like I have had enough time to do some damage too. Just wish I could figure this out........not the best anniversary coming. up.......Thanks for listening....

Back to work Tonight!

I am back for one more try at this. When I got up this morning, I sat down and wrote a LONG blog entry. Proof read it, and hit the Publish Now button at the bottom of the page, AND.....the whole thing DISAPPEARED! I CANNOT figure out what I am doing wrong. But I am persistent if nothing else, so I am trying AGAIN!   I arrived back in California on Sunday evening, late. Stayed overnight at a cute little botique hotel on the bay and got up early, showered, packed up and loaded the car to get home before the day was over. And guess what? My car wouldn't start! What a bummer! On the 4th of July no less. A HUGE thanks to Bob Jr.'s Towing Service who came to the hotel and jumped my battery, escorted me to an open Firestone Store, where they replaced the battery and got me on the road!   Arrived home around 5:00 PM (four or five hours later than planned, but home sweet home!). Spent most of the evening unpacking, cleaning the condo (my roommate doesn't clean!) and getting some (very little) groceries.   I have been contemplating how to get more active and expend some calories. When I was at home in Iowa, I could get on the treadmill (for a couple of minutes anyway, then had to quit cause I was exhausted). But the treadmill wouldn't fit in my suitcase, although I tried to bring almost everything else from home back with me! So this morning I went swimming with my roommate when she got home from work. She does (an awesome) 56 laps of the pool every morning. (we are so lucky, the pool is just a 1/2 block from our front door!) So I went and did 18 laps. That was all I could manage, but at least I tried. Am going to try and swim with her every morning. Also going to try and add at least two laps per day so I can start to build up my endurance.   Also going to start to walk on a regular basis. Just not sure when...... It is 106 right now where we are located. I don't think I can walk in heat like that! Maybe in the mornings, after I swim. But got to start doing something for my cardio!   A happy note, this morning, I was down another two pounds. I haven't weighed in several days, since my scale was a casualty of my "overweight suitcases". I had to unload about 15 pound worth of stuff at the airport, or pay $100 in overweight charges! YIKES! So Bill hauled all the stuff home for me from the airport, and boxed it up, and is mailing it to me. (Bless his heart!) I am so excited, I can't wait to be in "One-derland". It will be a couple of weeks yet, but I can see it in the distance. I am SO excited!   Well, have to get ready for work. Hope all you Sleevers out there had a great 4th of July. Later.........

Back After First Week-Long Business Trip

So I just had my first week long business trip with my new band.   I was in meetings all day long, so lunch was catered. I was a bit worried about what was going to be available, so I carried a Muscle Milk Light in my bag just-in-case. The meals were not bad at all. Each day, chicken in some form was offered, and not breaded or fried, and a salad was available and I was able to put on my dressing.   I had my little eating computer with me, so I could sneak off after my meal and compute how well I did, and I believe that I did rather well. I was quite proud of myself. Although all week long I drank with my meal (and I'm trying to get myself out of that habit, but that one is difficult). Also, at this point in time, I'm going through the dreaded "Bander's Hell" where I can eat just about anything, and it'll go right down. So I'm not too concerned about the drinking with the meals.   The weekend of the Fourth posed its own difficulties, as I'm sure everyone else had to deal with, but I kept things together. I even tried my wife's low-carb pasta salad, albeit just a small portion. Again, finally performing my computations, I kept things in line.   Only once did I go above my carb limit during the past week, and that's when I treated myself to a Long Island Iced tea. It surprised me because it was very carbonated. When I made my own, I only put a splash of Coke in mine...and only for color. But, I sipped it slowly and enjoyed it. I didn't have any issues with the carbonation, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go out and enjoy a cold Coke, because I've worked very hard to get myself off of sodas.   So...anyone try Pork Rinds as a low-carb snack?   Throughout this "Bander's Hell", I've been able to eat everything I've had in my diet without any issues. I've not even thrown up or regurgitated anything (not even had the 'slimes' which I've read about). But I ate a few pork rinds and had a total blockage! It was very panic-inducing the first time it happened. I thought I swallowed a bolus that was just too large, but I was careful. I tried it again the day after, and the same thing happened. Very odd...but I'm going to keep away from pork rinds from now on.   This Friday is my first fill. I'm quite anxious for this visit for a few reasons: 1) I'd like to get out of this "Bander's Hell", 2) I'd like to see if I lost any weight since my last weigh-in on June 10, and 3) I really would like a little restriction in my band, as I think it would be too easy to eat too much in my current state...at least until I can get my mind wrapped around just how to eat well, and how much is good for me to maintain my weight loss.

Bariatric Care Center Appointment

Had my first appointment with the bariatric care center. Met a nurse, the PA who I will see most. It is the PA that does the fills. I met the surgeon briefly and my coordinator. My coordinator says that I have one of the best insurance in our area. I am tentatively scheduled for surgery on October 3. I have to undergo a gall bladder ultrasound, pulmonary test, upper GI.... the group is setting up those appointments. I have to schedule my psych appointment I will also have an appointment with the nutritionist before the surgery and be taught more about the special pre-surgery diet that I need to do for a month before the surgery. It can either be liquid of their own mean and green diet. I will also meet with the surgeon again for a more in-depth consultation. What sucks is that the 15 pounds I already lost do not count even though they are listed in my doctor's letter for the insurance company. I need to lose 30 pounds in the next 3 months. I know can do it, especially if I could lose 15 pounds in the last month.

July 5, 2011

Well, I survived my first fill. Now have 3.5cc inmy band. Seems like such a small amount. I am to be on full liquids for 24 hours then back to regular. Feeling sorry for myself because I am hungry now. Guess I'll just have to grina and bear it. It didn't hurt but my port site is now burning a little. I know that will improve too. Have not lost anything since I weighed at doctor's office 1 week post-op. I am disappointed. But truth is, I have not exercised. I have dramatically reduced my eating, I know. But I guess I have not cut the calories down enough. I want this so bad. I want it to magically happen. But I know it's not. I keep giving myself a pep talk, but it has not stuck yet. Confessions of a food addict. As with any addiction, I must take it one day at a time.

ramblings of a crazy person...

hi diary land. so. ****. the band's been good. i was stuck in the same 3 pound up and down game for a couple weeks but that seems to be over. thank god.   i've been insanely depressed the past few days.. all day anxiety attacks, constant nausea and unable to stomach food. none of this has to do with my band, in fact the weight loss is really the only saving grace during this period of existence.   i weighed myself today and i'm 267 pounds. it's crazy. i haven't been in the 260's for about 6 years and even then it was fleeting. obviously.   this depression **** feels fully about being extremely lonely. the one person i had a connection with just told me he's in love with someone else and now i feel like i'm just floating. some sort of floating, broken zombie. ew. how pathetic. so let's move on from that....   i want to start seeing a personal trainer. i want this weight to come off as fast as humanly possible. i needed lap-band because i basically need to be choked to get myself to stop eating. it's sad but it is true. food is my oldest and dearest frenemy. it seems hardly possible to break up with it without a support system. and in this case that support system needs to take the form of some b***h that's going to make me sweat. hard.   i don't know. everything is so awful. not everything. this band is a pretty ******* fat (no pun intended) silver lining to my ****-cloud. but sometimes it is nearly impossible to keep those positive thoughts flowing. i dont know why. and i wonder if anyone else has gone through a strange bought of depression after getting banded.   i'm wearing a pair of corduroy pants that i haven't fit into in years. the last time i checked (last year) i felt like if i buttoned the top of them that it would shoot off and knock some kids eye out. now i'm sitting here and they're actually baggy on me. i cant believe i am one of THOSE people, now. i can't believe the band is actually working for me. it seems so impossible. i have been fat my entire life. morbidly obese forever. i still am, obviously... but it's a whole new world.     i still can't see myself as not fat. i worry that i never will. it's not a huge worry. but it seems impossible, doesn't it? to spend your entire life obsessing every day over something and having it be in the forefront of your mind whenever you do anything, go anywhere, meet anyone, eat anything... and suddenly there is hope that it can just... not be, anymore. it's just unreal. it's just impossible to think that this will finally work for me, even though it IS working for me. does that make sense? it has to make sense.   i'm going in for a second fill a week from today. i genuinely don't feel much restriction, which is what makes this even more spectacular.   i don't know. what a mind f**k of emotions. how can i be so depressed and shitty and yet so GOOD at the same time?   sometimes i swear i'm manic-depressive. other times i think i am simply repressed and regressed from a lifetime of believing i'm not good enough because i'm not thin enough.   i don't know. ****.   more entries soon. more betterness. more goodness more sanity. seriously, folks, it can only go up from here.   until next time..       what a weird entry, this. it will be better soon. it can only get better.

From: As I near the end of my Weight Loss Journey...

Hmmm... well - here it goes... I guess I'm just mentally drained where hard core weight loss is concerned quite frankly. Before I continue let me be clear I may still lose some weight... however as far as really working my butt off and continued food restraint... I think I really am done. Period.   Yes I'll continue to do my early morning running, I'll still do my workouts (this will be always and forever) and I'm probably going to add in some muscle toning exercises. I bulk up really easily so this is actually going to slow down the losses a bit. However, I'm NOT going to actively push more workouts to post higher losses anymore. I'm also NOT going to do low carbs anymore, in fact I'm going to add in more per meal.   Slowing down the routine will probably get me about 3-5 Lbs lost per month. I do believe I am very much ok with this. Physically I am very satisfied with how I look. I am wearing sizes 8-10 in pants right now and I just bought a bunch of size Small shirts and they are all fitting. I even bought size XS at Old Navy (my first time there ever!) and those even fit. Crazy huh? Well... this got me to thinking, how small do I really want to get??? I weigh 185 Lbs. So what??? This is how GOD made me, and I accept this.   I've lost nearly 150 Lbs from my heaviest weight!!! Why am I torturing myself just because of a stupid made up BMI scale??? Its just insanity I tell you!!!   I know we tend to continue losing with the sleeve even once we have decided we are at "goal". I imagine this will be true for me too. I have picked up really good habits so it's inevitable I will still continue to lose from here, I just don't want to try as hard anymore. If I want a tortilla with my dinner, guess what... I'm gonna have a freakin tortilla with my dinner. If I want a slice of bread, I'm going to have a slice of bread. If I want to some white rice one night, that's what I'll have. I can only eat one or two bites anyway!! If I want a few potato chips with my lunch... you get the idea. I just wanted to put it out there that *I* Irene am calling myself nearly done. If I lose a little more, great. If not... OH WELL!!! I'm HAPPY with ME right now and that is ALL THAT MATTERS!!!   It is possible that at some point I may change my mind. Well, guess what I'm a woman so that's my right. LOL!! None the less, I just feel happy and very much ready to let go of the diet mentality. I'm ready to just live my life and enjoy the new me... get used to the new person I've become. I can seriously actually look at myself in the mirror now and be ok with how I look.   I decided to put this in the Success threads because this is a huge success to me... saying goodbye to diets and hello to "maintenance"... whatever that entails (which usually for sleevers is still a little more losing but not breaking our necks for it). Well, I'm here!!! Say hello to the new and improved me. Again, if I continue to lose a few more here and there I'm ok with that. If I don't, well take me or leave me. I'm happy and content.   Blessings!!!   Source: As I near the end of my Weight Loss Journey...

Size 14's!!

Went to my favorite store (CATO) last week and bought some size 14 jean capris! Tried them on and they fit well...not to tight. After wearing them they loosened up alot! I cant believe it...SIZE 14!!! I also bought a blouse....large! It feels wonderful!! I have an appointment on Friday for another fill. I'm thinking I may not need one. I'm worried about being overfilled. Nothing gets stuck and I stay satisfied after eating for about 4 hours. Right now I have 5.75cc in my band. The hunger pains died down after the last fill. It didnt seem that way at first but about 2 weeks later I started feeling like my band had gotten tighter. I got on the scale this morning and it read 237!! 54lbs lost!! I'm still keeping up with my 4 workouts a week....I feel guilty if I don't go to the gym...I'm loving the way my body is changing for the better!

12 weeks out ~ Vacation report!

Tomorrow will be 12 weeks into my banded life and I still don't have a single regret to report! I've never been more sure of my decision, and it's been many years since I've felt healthier and better about who I am! I just spent 11 days on the best beach vacation ever! A girl's trip to Gulf Shores, AL was just what the proverbial doctor ordered, and I'm home tanned, relaxed, and more than a few inches smaller than I was when I left!! How's THAT for vacation? Perfect if you ask me. I lost a whopping total of one pound while I was gone haha! But towards the middle of last week I noticed that my bathing suit (which I spent a lot of time in) was fitting very strangely. It felt too big in the stomach for starters, but then I noticed that the bra cups in it were all deformed looking. I realized that the girls had shrunk! YEEE HAW!! There's hope on the horizon my friends! I admit I was a little concerned about vacation eating, especially since I didn't get a fill before I left, but I had decided that I wasn't going to stress about it. I ate very well.. I ate normal sized portions, and had no problems with wanting to snack between meals. I drank at least one frozen alcoholic concoction every single day while I was on that beach.. along with lots of water and lemonade. I felt a little restriction at times which was comforting, and let me know my band was doing its job, and had a couple of "stuck" episodes that were mild, and lasted only a few minutes. I ate LOTS of steamed shrimp! Mmmmm! I miss that yummy steamed shrimp.. the kind you can get on the Nebraska prairie just doesn't compare. One highlight of my trip that I must share ~~ I PARASAILED!! Oh yeah! I stepped right outside of my comfort zone and flew high above the Gulf of Mexico! I absolutely loved it and will do it again if I ever get the chance. I felt like super woman when I was done, and I kind of still do! I was without a scale for the entire vacation, and that freaked me out a little.. I figured that I'd have gained a pound or two by the time I got home, even though it was pretty obvious that I'd left a few inches down in Alabama somewhere! I was pretty happy when I stepped on that scale yesterday and realized that there was no gain, and I could still be friends with both the scale and the mirror! I'm happy to be home.. and while I didn't use a gym even once while I was gone, I did have the sand to walk in so I got a little added exercise I guess! It's back to the gym for me this week! I'm also looking forward to adding a daily fruit smoothie to my diet! Hey~ it's my healthy version of a daily frozen concoction that will remind me of the beach as I delve back into reality! Thanks Aunt Jan for introducing me to the wonderful smoothie! My other butt is getting closer.. I can feel it! I hope you all have had a safe and happy Independence Day if you're in the USA~ and mostly, that you spent it with the people you love! That's all for this week ~ thanks for stopping by!   Follow me @ http://www.myotherbutt.blogspot.com

Tomorrow's the Day

Tomorrow is the initial appointment at the doctor's office. I am both excited and nervous. Tomorrow is the day they decide if I am a candidate I have filled out all the paperwork, but they still ask me to be there a half hour early. I wonder how long it will be? I do know that I will not be meeting with the surgeon, but the PA, not sure who else I will be seen by. I will go to my first support meeting next monday. The group requires a 10% weight loss and 2 support group meetings before your surgery can be scheduled. The PA will be the one I actually see the most based on the orientation meeting. The PA would be the one doing the fill after the surgery. The group is a group of excellence. I think I will need an ambien to sleep tonight.

2 1/2 weeks post op

My parents both have the lap band. My dad got his in March. He's already practically to his goal weight. My mom got hers the same day I did. She's losing weight. I haven't asked how much...   I lost a few pounds during the liquid diet. I joined a gym last week and gained it back. I lost inches though so that's not all that important I guess. I'm just really disappointed that I'm not doing as well... It's been really hard for me to follow the diet and it really makes me wonder if I made the wrong decision in doing this... I can't tell them that though. I keep wondering if I should have given it another go on my own. I'm young. I could have done it with more will power...   But I tried. Over and over again I tried to lose the weight. It never worked. At least not without me just gaining it all back. I just don't want to be a failure with this. I didn't expect some miracle. It's a tool to use. I know this. I haven't even gotten a fill yet. I mean, that's when it will start working for me right?   I guess part of it is that I know my mom is just now starting to feel better and get hungry and stuff. I've been feeling fine and hungry since about four days after the surgery. It made me not follow the diet plan my doctor gave me. I started eating soft foods one week post op. I feel like I had the surgery months ago. And that's not the case. They say I'm still healing, but I don't feel like I am. If it weren't for the scars, I wouldn't know I ever had the surgery.   So I eat. I eat until I'm full. I've gone out with friends and eaten too much. I don't know what to do or how to stop it. I have to figure it out to make this work. It's a tool that is there for me to use and if I don't use it right, it won't do what it's supposed to.   I just need all the advice I can get. Did anybody else get really hungry during this time. What did y'all do?
