Forever!~

I haven't blogged about my weight loss forever nor have I read posts. I am going in for my 3rd fill 2 years later and and excited! I was dragging feet for the first 10 months of surgery and then my husband and I split the sheets and my weight loss rocketed! I got rid of someone that made me very unhappy and made me happy.... amazing what that can do! So this past year I have lost over 100 lbs and am starting to slow. I am on the downhill slope of things but I have worked so hard. I have ga

Anyone PLEASE help!!!!!

So I have manager to catch a wonderful flu bug and I am ILL. Can barely move, and cannot keep ANYTHING down. So I just had a fill and I am on liquids anyways but I am really worried bout gettin dehydrated... Does anyone have any suggestions of what to drink or take in. I don't want to be pukin do to the band I don't want it to slip... :redface:

YAYYYY!

So I went to my 6 week post op check up today even though its been almost 5 and the dr was sooooooooooo proud of me, I have lost the most out of the 3 people he did that day! I was pumped. I also convinced him to go ahead and do my fill. I was scared to death after reading about fills on the forums on this website :eek:. It was CAKE he had to stick me 4 times but he said the more i lose the easier it gets! It didn't hurt the needle stick that is! It hurts worse to have a shot of heparin in

It's worth it!!!!!

So I went and met with the personal trainer yesterday. She is very straight to the point and willing to help. She knows her stuff I must say!!! She is ranked in the top 50 personal trainers in the United States! So no big deal we are talking about nutrition and what I have to do. 1100 Calories sounds like ALOT :eek: But like she broke it down for me and if I eat around five small meals a day.. that makes each meal only about 240 to 250 calories!!! :phanvan That sounds like NOTHING!!!! But I

Frustration!

So... First of all I should conitnue blogging I think it makes a person feel better! Since no one else around me understands. Second I have made this change to my life.... and I have no damn clue how to live it! I know I am supposed to have certain portion sizes and so on, however they don't tell you what calories to stay at in order to keep losing and how many carbs to take in and how many grams of sugar. I have decided to hire a personal trainer to help aid in my weight loss journey. I me

Angry

Christmas is over, and I did great on Christmas day. I should have never strayed from my liquid diet! I am not perfect tho. I have not over ate by any means but by all means I have surely found myself MUNCHING :cry on junk today. Everyone is gone home and I tried to send as much as I could home with everyone and there is a little bit left at my house. I am able to tolerate potatoes or green bean casserole, all the stuff I DONT NEED. I am thinking I took the wrong route with the band and sh

Snowy morning!

We have been getting hit with this beautiful snow! I wished I could go out sledding in it. I don't think the Dr. would appreciate me sledding with my stitches still in! On top of that I am still having some burning where the port is. I wonder if this is normal :cursing:? I weighed myself this morning. I have lost ten lbs since being banded last Monday. :whoo:YAY! I have so much to lose. I am still having a hard time getting all my fluids in as well as eating a small pureed meal every fo

Hard Day

So here I sit journaling. I am pissed off at my family! My mother came to help me out with the kiddos since my husband works all the time, and also to help get things ready for the holidays. I have a bunch of family coming. My house has seem to have gotten real messy, dishes and so on and it SURELY isn't me using the dishes!!!! Hmmmm tonight they want to order pizza from Pizza Hut. Man that sure sounds good. In all reality I was banded on Monday and it hasn't been a week and yeah at this point a
