Not on Solid Ground with Solid Food

Hey, all. I am making myself record the good, the bad, and the ugly. I believe this would be the latter, and I want to make a record of it.   I believe I am soon to get a visit from "Aunt Flo from Redlands", and yesterday I was seized with the urge to eat sweets. I was at a meeting, seated right next to the lounge where there were every manner of bready sweet things. I had had a protein drink, but I was hungry. Or at least I told myself I was.   So, I had 2 pieces of the only protein source there - string cheese (full fat). The person next to me was eating pan dulce (sweet bread), which is something I love. So, I went into the lounge and took a piece and sliced off a small corner and put it back. I knew that even though it was a small portion, I was entering into dangerous territory letting myself have it. I later went back for another small piece.   For lunch I went with a friend to Subway and had a under 6 fat gram sandwich. I ate the protein first, then had some of the bread. Then I had about 2/3 of the macadamia white chip cookie that I ordered with the combo. Sugar bug again.   When I returned to the office a few hours later, I was struck by a strong craving for sugar and specifically chocolate. Several of my coworkers routinely add chocolate treats to their desk dishes, so I didn't have to go far. There were very few at the office because they stayed at the meeting. So, in essence it was just me, the chocolate, and my craving. I did not make good choices. Okay, the ugly. I probably consumed the equivalent of two candy bars, perhaps even three. I actually wanted to kick myself while I was doing it.   Afterwards, I felt so disappointed, like I'd fallen off the wagon, which I had. My body didn't feel good, either. I felt bloated and yucky and mad at myself.   When I came home, I ate the other 1/2 of the fitness meal I brought home from a restaurant the previous evening. I was saited. Then I saw the garlic cheese pretzels and thought, "oooo. I want something salty." I ate them. There was probably about 1/4 - 1/2 cup left. (I want to record the amounts so I can figure out the damage I've done.)   I went to sleep feeling absolutely defeated. I've been doing very well on the diet up until now, but I see that I must prepare. Food wise, in terms of meals, I did fine. But I failed the craving test.   This morning I feel very bloated and am going to make myself get on the elliptical to get in exercise. Curiously, yesterday morning I felt great about my exercise because I worked up a sweat and stayed on 30 mins. I feel somewhat like I sabatoged that progress. :tongue_smilie:   I want somehow to keep sugar cravings at bay, even when Aunt Flo is on her way. I've heard that cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar, so I may try that.   I'm determined to make today a postive day.

Exercising The all Important Factor in weight loss and Life!!!

:ohmy:EXERCISE!   OH HOW I HATED TO EXERCISE, AND EVEN NOW I HAVE TO PUSH MYSELF BEYOND MY COMFORT ZONES!   BUT~~~~~EXERCISE IS THE ALL IMPORTANT FACTOR IN TAKING OFF THE ADDED WEIGHT OF THE YEARS!   FOR WOMEN, HAVING BABIES PUTS ON WEIGHT FOR SOME AND THEY NEVER CAN PUSH ENOUGH TO GET IT OFF(FOR ME~AND FOR SOME THEY ARE A SIZE 2 RIGHT AFTER) YOU ARE BUSY WITH THE BABY AND JUST ABOUT FORGET YOURSELF.   FOR OLDER WOMEN, THE AGE AND SLOWING DOWN DUE TO AGING HAPPENS, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM WORTH THE EFFORT JUST TO LOOK GOOD!   :tongue_smilie:BUT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOOKING GOOD! IT IS ABOUT FEELING GOOD. AND LIVING LONGER HEALTHIER LIVES.   :w00t:TWO MONTHS AFTER BEING BANDED, I JOINED A GYM, WENT OUT ON A LIMB AND PAID FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR(GOT A NICE DISCOUNT TOO) I KNEW I WOULD GO IF I PAID AND NOT LOSE THE MONEY!!LOL   :w00t:I WAS SO UNSURE OF MYSELF, DID NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT ANY OF THE MACHINES EXCEPT THE TREADMILL AND THE BICYCLES! BUT THE GYM OWNER WAS A PERSONAL TRAINER AND HE SET ME UP WITH A CARD AND A ROUTINE! SO FEELING LIKE AN IDIOT, I GOT INTO SOME GYM SWEATS AND GOT STARTED. THAT WAS 4 1/2 MOS AGO.   :wub:TODAY I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! I DO NOT BREAK OUT IN A SWEAT EACH TIME I GO TO THE GYM, I DO ABOUT 45 MIN TOTAL TIME ABOUT THREE TIMES A WEEK. I GET IN 10 OR 15 MIN ON THE TREADMILL TO WARM UP AND THEN HIT THE WEIGHT RESISTANCE MACHINES. I AM WORKING HARD ON THE ABDOMEN RIGHT NOW, THE UPPER ARMS(SO THEY WON'T BE TOO FLABBY FROM THE WEIGHT LOSS, AND THE INNER AND OUTER THIGHS TOO) I STARTED WITH 15 LBS OF WEIGHTS AND I AM UP TO 60 & 75 LBS ON MOST ALL THE MACHINES NOW. BUILDING MUSCLE, IT DOES WEIGH MORE THAN FAT AND LAST MONTH I GAINED INCHES FROM THE ADDED MUSCLE BUT LOST A FEW LBS TOO. THIS MONTH I AM DOING THE SAME THING. SO I AM NOT DROPPING THE WEIGHT AS FAST AS I DID TO START WITH! SO WHAT, THE INCHES I HAVE LOST ALREADY AND THE LBS ARE SUFFICIENT FOR NOW, AND AS I BUILD MUSCLE, IT WILL IN TURN SPEED UP MY METABOLISM TO HELP MY BODY ATTACK AND BURN FAT!   :smile2:MAY I JUST SAY "I LOVE MY GYM" THE FOLKS THERE ARE SO HELPFUL, YET THEY LEAVE YOU ALONE TO YOUR WORK. I MET AN OLD HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND WHO HELPS ME NOW, HE WAS IN "MR. WORLD" CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PLAYED FOOTBALL IN SCHOOL, STILL LOOKS GREAT AT 57, STILL IN SHAPE AND STILL LIFTING WEIGHTS. AGING IS SLOWED DOWN BY THOSE WHO EXERCISE ON A REGULAR BASIS~IT IS PROVEN IT HELPS ARTHRITIS, ETC. GOOD AND HEART HEALTHY, START SOME TODAY.   EVEN IF YOU CAN'T OR WON'T BE JOINING A GYM, START WALKING THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR 30 TO 45 MIN. AT THE TIME, DOING SOME FLOOR EXERCISES, (THE KIND WE USED TO DO IN THE SCHOOL GYM WHEN WE WERE YOUNG) JUMP ROPE, JOG, WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO GET MOVING, YOU WILL WATCH A CHANGE TAKING PLACE IN HOW YOU FEEL AND LOOK AND HOW THE SCALES LOOK BACK AT YOU!   I PROMISE! DON'T LEAVE THIS ALL IMPORTANT FACTOR IN WEIGHT LOSS OUT OF YOUR LIFE, GET THE MOST FROM YOUR LAP-BAND® SURGERY!:smile::thumbup::tt1::tt1:

I'm pregnant!!!

I was banded 9wks ago and am down 38lbs. Yesterday I felt real weird, like I did when I found out about my daughter, so I had my hubby pick me up a test. I am, simply, floored! I really can't believe it! I am thrilled, but really it couldn't have come at a scarier time!!! I wish it happened before I got banded. My docs said not to worry and that many women have babies who are banded, but I'm so worried! My doc said I can keep my fill and that babies live on nutrition not calories. That made me feel better. Can you believe it? I hope that all my hard work doesn't go away (does that sound awful)? I don't mean for it too, its just I have been trying so hard and don't want to go back. My baby will always be first, so I will keep up with the healthy food and excercise. And I'm sure after the baby I will be able to get a fill and start dropping again, right? Please anyone out there going through this or anyone who can make me feel better, please write to me! I need it! With my daughter I gained 18lbs, I hope I can do the same this time. Thanks all for listening! A very excited mommy to be!!!

Things I've learned

If I eat less than 1000 calories, I don't lose weight.   If I eat more than 1250-1300 calories, I don't lose weight.   If I don't drink at LEAST 64 ounces of water, I don't lose weight. (AND, apparently eating has always been my signal to drink, now I have to remind myself constantly throughout the day to GO GET MORE WATER...I just don't think of it until it's time to eat, live and learn)   If I sit on my butt, I don't lose weight.   Damn, I have to eat right, exercise, and drink water to do this?!?!   I'm joking, I'm joking, it's still easier than pre-band, and I don't feel like I'm starving to death so it's all good, just interesting how everything has to line up just right to make it all work.   Not surprisingly, I've started losing hair. I'm okay with this since I have enough hair for 3 heads. Surprisingly, at least to me, my nails are the best they've been in years, I can only assume it's the increased protein/vitamin/calcium combo but just something I didn't expect!

Things are still looking up....

Last night, I went to my first seminar. I really feel like this is where I am supposed to be. The two doctors (a father/son duo) were so friendly and made you feel so comfortable. They were so encouraging and made me feel like this was the absolutely best decision I could have made! I have done so much research, so I didn't really hear anything that I hadn't heard before. It was nice to meet them though. I made my first appointment with the Doctor who would be performing the surgery - on Monday, March 8th. I am so excited to meet them one on one and just really get the ball rolling.   Even better than the fantastic seminar that I attended last night, I finally told my boyfriend what I have been planning. I was nervous about telling him b/c I wasn't sure how he would respond. I wasn't sure if he would be upset that I was going to have surgery....or to me, even worse, would have been to hear, "YES! You need to.....you fat cow!" I know he would never say that to me....but I always have a very active imagination....and I know I wouldn't be able to handle that response!   Anyway, his response brought me to tears! He was absolutely SO sweet! He told me that he would be there for me either way. If I wanted to go through with the surgery, he would be there....for anything that I needed. If I didn't want to have the surgery, he would be there for me then too. He said that he just wants me to be happy. I told him that I DO want the surgery and that being thin WOULD make me happy. He said that then he would be supportive of that. He is so sweet! :smile:   Anyway, that's my update for a while....until I have my first meeting with the dr. I'll let you know how that goes! :tongue_smilie::smile2::w00t:

Week 39....ReFocusing after Goal

(Feb 10, 2010) When you are in the middle of your journey and trying to hit your weight loss goal, it is on your mind all the time. That's what you focus on.   Once you hit that goal you have to readjust and refocus on just maintaining. There is where I am.   There are spots I need to work on to tone a bit more and now how so I eat to maintain? Do I exercise a little less each week?   These are the things I have been trying to wrap my little brain around.   I just came from the doctor's office to have a teeny little bit of fluid removed. I have not been very comfortable the last week. I fell back on just eating soup because I threw up a couple times since last week's unfill. This now puts me at 5.0cc's in my band.   What I was finding was this....I'd go to bed and have acid reflux a lot. I'd eat solids and then the next day my tummy would hurt. So I just did not feel comfy.   I was so scared to go in for this unfill today. What if they take too much and I get hungry again? What if I eat more than a cup of food? Will my cravings return?   Lord....what a journey!   Since I have not been able to eat much in the last few weeks I was too exhausted to exercise daily so I did what I could, but now I am feeling better and have started back on the treadmill 60 minutes each day. I want to return back to my Tony Horton 10 Minute Trainer next week.   I do not want the rest of my life to be focus on food and the scale! Anybody else scared of this?   OK...I am freaking out a bit but it's only because I am so happy with where I am and I'd like to stay here!   On a good note, I have a photo shoot scheduled for late next week and I am super stoked about how these photos will turn out. Keep your eye out for the new me!   Also....does anyone eat the frozen meals. SmartOnes, Healthy Choice, etc. If so can you get a full one down? I had one for dinner and I could not even eat half of it! I have not had one in about a year now, to be honest it was not that good. (Feb. 11, 2010)*****This note was added after original posting. I got a list of good frozen meals from my nutritionist. I have attached it for everyone. Enjoy   Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?:tongue_smilie:   Surgery Date: May 21, 2009 Starting Weight: 280lbs Dr. Michael Metz - St. Luke's Hospital Denver, CO:thumbup: Follow my progress thru photos: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/members/5...lbums3475.html

feeling like a failure

I am new to this site and sought it out to try to gain some support. I work at a facility that does lapband and had mine done Oct.1,2009. I have only lost about 10lbs since the surgery and and I know I should be greatful but I see so many others that have lost so much so quickly and I feel like such a failure. I know I am still getting hungry alot and seem to be able to eat to much. I am not sure if I am just eating because of stress or what. I see so many people who have dropped weight like crazy a coworker had her surg over a month after me and has lost 50lbs. I know this is my fault I don't excercise and seem to always choose the wrong foods so I need some support-any words of encouragement or ideas to help motivate-give more energy-anything. I would really appreciate it-thanks:frown:

Should I or Should I not?

Hi my name is Ayana and I am on the fence about getting the lap-band done. I have gone through all the medical evaluations and now I am waiting on approval from my insurance and a date from my surgeon.   I have mixed feelings from family and friends about getting the procedure done. I have mixed feelings myself. I am concerned if I will be able to live with the food restrictions for the rest of my life.:tongue_smilie:

Surgery Scheduled!

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Michelle and I have decided to have the sleeve gastrectomy. My surgery is Wednesday Feb 17th. I am really excited and ready to have the surgery. It has been a heck of a process getting all my documentation together so that my insurance would pay. I will check back in after I get home next weekend and let you all know how the surgery went. :w00t:

Today my Journey begins

It just happened only moments ago....I decided to let go. I decided that I am worth fighting for and that I will not allow anyone to make me doubt my self worth again. So at this moment...my journey begins. So if you are curious(even a little bit) I will start from the begining. Well..as I am sure most of you can relate...I have been overweight almost all of my life. I have "dieted" so much that I feel like I could be a licensed nutritionist. Further more, I could probably teach a class on exercising from your desk. I know the importance of 8-8oz glasses of water a day and how portion control is way out of control in our society. BUT.....as I write this, my weight is at the highest I can remember. My weight is my biggest battle in life. At times I forget about it, only to be reminded when it's time to walk up a flight of stairs or when I am out with friends and they insist on sitting at a booth. Don't even get me started about when I have to board an airplane. Six or seven yrs ago I was on an emotionally charged misson to get insurance approval for a R&Y gastric bypass. It was a terrible experience for me. Of course I was never approved, and due to my lack of information and support I never appealed the decision. My support team consisted of my mother who never had the same struggles with her weight. I know her intentions were only good but I can remember her diets consisting of not eating for a couple of days so she could keep her trim figure. So, I always felt she never really could understand my desire for the surgery. Today as I am sitting here at my desk writing this I have givin myself permission to move forward with another attempt at being approved through my insurance. The difference between then and now is that I am educating myself with as much knowledge as possible. I will reach out to others who are also struggling with the same weight issues and learn from their experiences. It feels good to be at place were I know that people understand that my struggle with my obesity is more than a quick fix...it's more than not eating for a couple of days.

2nd Fill Done!

My 2nd fill appointment went quick and easy today. I was so glad to see the waiting room empty when I got there. Usually there is ALWAYS a wait. But, this time they took me back right away. I was a little surprised that they switched my appointment to someone else to do the fill, but I was gonna see someone who I hadn't seen before anyway so it really didn't make any difference to me.   You could tell she was newer at it, though, and had to poke around a little bit. Lucky for me, needles don't bother me at all and my port is really pretty easy to access even for a newbie. In fact, a part of me thinks they may have had her do me since they know my port is easy to get at it. I remember Melissa saying I would be a good person to teach others on. LOL   Anyway, she added one more cc first, sat me back up, drank some water, went down fine. Then, she added a second cc, sat me back up, drank some water, and some burpy bubbles came up. So, she took back out 0.5 cc, drank again, water went down fine. So, now my total comes to 4.5cc (in a 10cc lapband aps).   I'm on liquids now so I don't know for sure if this gave me much restriction, but I am noticing that I can't guzzle water as fast as I could before. So, I'm hoping that is a good sign that I'll have better portion control after this fill.   Oh, and I still lost 2 pounds even w/the bad Big Mac attack. And, she said it was all fat so my fat percentage went down too. Woohoo!!! :w00t:   I drank a ton of water this morning to make sure I was well hydrated so I'm sure the weight would've been even lower if I went in empty. I'm trying not to play those games w/the scale, though, like I used to when I'd weigh in for Weight Watchers. I would go in starving and totally dehydrated just to see a loss. :tongue_smilie:

Appt with Dr.

Today I have my last appt with the dr before my surgery. My surgery is next week, Feb 18. I am getting really excited and somewhat nervous. I hope, I hope that a few pounds have come off. I am so sick of protein shakes and jello I can barely stand it. Still getting one meal a day so that is what I look foward to.

Perky!

I talk to my mom during my daily commute to work. This morning she told me I was perky. Ha! I guess after two weeks, I'm finally getting back to myself.   I guess I was feeling a little psyched up today. Once I started eating solid food, I gained a couple of pounds. Today I had lost those plus another tenth. I feel like I'm getting started again!   Also, today is the first day I'm wearing jeans. I sit a lot and the waistband hits right at my incision. I have put off wearing them because I didn't want to irritate it. Today I put on a tank top to tuck in under my sweater and it seems to have made a nice protective barrier. Plus, the jeans fit well...almost loose! Since they were getting very snug before surgery, I'm feeling pretty good.   Today is also the first day I can have real (non-canned) chicken, fish, & vegetables. I'm going to Rockfish for lunch so YUM!   I don't eat my breakfast until 9:00 AM and we leave for lunch around 11:30 AM. So, lately I have been drinking half of my protein shake for breakfast and then drinking the rest around 3:30 when I'm starting to get a little hungry. It really seems to be working well and it is the same amount of calories, etc., they are just spread out!   My perky self better get back to work. Have a bandtastic day!

not so good

My drinking yesterday at work was a flop I got some strawberry powerade zero and mixed in unflavored injury powder. Well I just couldn't do it! I do not like "kool aid" taste :ack2: anything! I tried to sip it but just couldn't do it!. I also think I am going to wait and try the samples I got post-op. I only have 10 days (I think that is what Dr. Aceves requires) of clear. When I can drink full I will be able to have my tea and soy slender, can down a pot of that no problem. The good news is I didn't have ice cream yesterday! Ok I ate a cookie...:w00t: and some M&M's This hunger thing is really getting to me lately. This band sucks!

Another Fill - Plus the Unexpected

Well I went in for my sixth, no wait, seventh . . . heck I've lost count. I went in for a fill today. I have had som much trouble with the doc finding the port and it coming out and all that business. Today, he slid it right in in 2 seconds FLAT! No I could attribute this to the heavy praying I did right before that it would go smoothly but I'd really like to attribute it to my weight lost. Anyhoo, he put another .4ccs in and we were done! Like that - Whole thing to maybe 3 minutes. Crazy happy! The doc then starts feeling around my hips and waist and upper thighs. He says, "I can feel your bone." He then says, "I think you're ready for an abdominoplasty". I was like really? He was like "yeah".   I was SHOCKED :w00t:! I said, because I ws quite positive that I was misunderstanding something, "how much more weight would I have to lose before I did that". He says, " you're ready now. The Plastic surgeon may ask that you lose another 20 at the most, but I think you're ready now." I said, " I thought I needed to be near or at my goal weight to have that done." He said, "No, you're ready now, we want to go ahead and get rid of that. Its mostly skin, with some fat, but we should do it all now, even your hips."   I was floored. Now, I honestly haven't lost that much weight. Between me and you, I'm really dissapointed with my weight loss. I have my bandiversary coming up in about a week and I had really hoped to have lost closer to 100 lbs. I'm only at about 66lbs now. :w00t: I know I should be happy - and beleive me I AM! I just had expected more. But I know that slow and steady wins the race :smile: Anyhoo, I'm still over 300 lbs (305 to be exact). I just can't beleive they would do an abdominoplasty at 300lbs.   Now I am a tall girl 5'11 and I've always carried my weight quite well. I am trimming down very nicely, very nicely. My thighs, arms, waist, etc. . But my belly is not seeing a significant difference. If anything my pannus just keeps getting lower and lower cause its losing the bulk so it hangs more. No real rash, just kind itchy sometime. I must say that it can get in the way of exercise - I always feel like it has to catch up to my rhythym. So I can only go as fast as my pannus will. Its always a beat behind me which often gets up both off synch. :tongue_smilie:   Anyhoo, so the prospect of this is incredible! That would probably take off at least 20 lbs. 20 lbs! Wowsahs. Also, it would make exercise easier. And most importantly it will remove what has been the bane of my existence since age 14! I wouldn't know what to do with out that! Man, can you imagine all the things I can do better. Exercise, dress, sit, stand, and . . . .I'm a little embarassed to say this but what must sex be like, SANS PANNUS! Wowsahs! Ummmm, eerrrrr, I mean - its will just make so many things better.   I'm now just a light with anticipation. I can't wait to get the appt from the Plastic Surgeon - I'm ready NOW! Just kidding - well I am - with the right information of course. I just, I never expected this when I went in this morning. This could be game changing. So I wait - in anticipation, trepidation, and just pure fear. What if I've gotten all excited about this prospect and then the plastic surgeon says - absolutely not. There is no way my doc could be THAT wrong though right? Right?   Well, I'm excited - I know its major surgery but I've had like 30 surgeries in my life due to an accident I had as a small child that has plagued me my whole life - so I'm a surgery pro.   Wow - game changing!

Almost done with pre op testing

Ok, I guess its time to get serious and write it down because it's real. I am morbidly obese and have tried everything and need help. So lap band land get ready I'm on my way. I keep having mixed feelings but I have really decided that this is what I need to do to get my health and my life back. I have managed to gain 15 more pounds since my first post. Oh, I will definately get approved by my insurance company. Good job. I have done all my testing except for cardio stress and echo, which are both scheduled for March 8th. I'm hoping to be approved soon after that. My wonderful loving husband is a little scared about me having surgery but I want to spend a lot more time with him so this is the way to go. I will try to post often. Again thanks to all for sharing your experiences. LIL

I'm new here, just want to say hi.

So I have been scouring the sight for a few weeks and finally decided to jump in. I am in the process of going through the Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Options program, preparing for the vertical sleeve surgery. I am trying very hard to change my lifestyle, when and what I eat, incorporating exercise into my daily routine. I am also trying to gather as much information as possible before my surgery. I am very anxious for things to move along. I am in the 14th week of our 20 week options program. I am enjoying it, it is very informative and I have met some really great people. It has been interesting reading your stories and successes. I really like this sight the participants seem to be very friendly and willing to offer incouragement and insight:thumbup1:. I look forward to meeting more of you.   Bobcat (a very old nickname)
