The ups & downs of this journey!

Another Plateau

Well the weight came off fast for a few weeks and now it's stuck again. I woke up this morning three pounds heaver then yesterday. I only ate 1100 calories but I know that's too much. It's hard to stick between 600-800 but that's what it takes to lose for me.   It's sad to think that I have to go that low... I'm so comfortable with about 1100 calories and know that should work. Anyway it goes 1100 calories shouldn't cause a gain.   I just don't know.

Weight Loss Finally!!!!

Well finally... Weight Loss seems to be settling in. I'm still not at my goal of 2 pounds loss average per week but I'm getting close.   My fill level is at 2.7 now and wow I can't eat much. I'm vomiting every once in awhile but keeping some stuff down. I'm so happy to finally be losing and hope that it continues.   I know that there will be stalls and I'm anticipating them.   As of today I'm 193.5 which is 21.5 down.

Super Depressed today!

I was really hoping I wasn't a turtle but I Excel'ed my weight loss journey and it became pretty sad to me.   06/01/05 - 190 - Put on waiting list for Surgery Seminar / 12/19/05 - 209 - 1st Seminar for LapBand Surgery / Didn't qualify according to their rules 01/16/06 - 214 - 2nd Seminar - Almost qualify / Doctor will meet with me 01/24/06 - 220 - 1st Appointment with Doctor - he let me weight with shoes & jeans on 01/27/06 - 215 - Pre-Op Testing and Meeting with Dietian 02/01/06 -

Weight Watchers and Diets!

Things are a bit better... I mean I still can eat too much but I can feel it and know when to stop.   I've discovered something pretty powerful (yet depressing) if I do weight watchers are directed and eat my 26 points plus my 35 flex points plus my activity points.... I won't lose at all.... Since the fill I've tried to keep my points under 20 - I still exercise about 60 - 90 minutes 5 days a week. I do full blast on the ellipitical since I love to try and burn as many calories as possibl

Finally Filled

I finally have a fill but already broke the liquid rule on day one and added some mushies.   I don't know why I continue to break the rules. Normally on a diet I don't break the rules usually until week 8 or 9... It's just it seems so hard to do liquids only.   I got 1.7cc's in my 4cc band. I feel real hungrey today and have had a protein shake and coffee and water.   I'll probably need another fill early but will wait at least 3 weeks since I have a vacation the first week in April.

Grippy Day

Went to the grocery yesterday.... Finding it really hard to still make good choices. Of corse I'm not filled yet so these first 6 weeks are so hard. I keep hearing everyone say... It's a bonus if you lose but *#@*@))@, I just spend $17,500 on this and I want my new life to begin as soon as possible. I'm not getting any younger.   In the past I would spend about 6 - 12 weeks on a diet before I'd give up. Usuallly in that time I might lose 3 pounds. I'd sit and watch at Weight Watchers as o

My first journal entry!

Wow - I've been Banded for a month and just found this journal area. It's really nice because so many questions I have of others are right here. It's nice to see other people who have been though what you are going though.   I'll start this jounal with how I got to this point... I was young in college and thin. I could eat anything I wanted it was great. Of course you don't realize it then. I taught aerobics to put myself though college and had a weight lifter boy friend. What a life.
