Weight loss update

Ok, it has been since Jan since the last time I've checked in and at that time I was around 25lbs down I am happy to say I am now another 10lbs down. for a total of 35lbs. Which means I am losing a total of 1.4lbs a week give or take since my surgery. So you know I am pretty happy with that. I am finally in a size 12 pants and I use to be in an 18. I can finally shop in the smaller section of the stores (although, I still find myself looking in the big girls side) People are saying I look like I

Just touching base

Hi there,   It has been awhile since I've been here with the holidays and all. I have to admit I really am glad to have them over with this year. I was banded in Sept 2008 and all the christmas parties we had at my work! UGH talk about having to use self control! Although, I must admit I didn't always have that much control:eek: I am down 25lbs now give or take so that is an improvment. But my new goal is to lose 30lbs by March. I am going in today or tomorrow depending on when they can sched

Tortoise and the Hare

I went in yesterday for fill and I was thinking about my weightloss journey on the way home and how it really fits in with the story of the tortoise and the hare. When I got on the scale at the center it showed that I am down 14lbs from surgery (9-2-08) and that is good but my mind is the hare.. wanting to go faster with the weightloss even finding myself saying.. "My friend had it and is down 25lbs now" Then at that moment I realized that my weightloss is the tortoise doing what it is suppose t

Sweet Spot

I just have to let the whole world know that I am in my Sweet Spot!! I am so excited and I only had to get two fills to get there. I hope that it last for awhile at my first appointment for a fill they told me the Dr had left 4cc in at surgery so she only added 2cc =6cc so I thought I was going to be good there but I still could eat waaay to much then so I called and my another appointment for a week later and I was down 2.6lbs (but I was starving that week) so she gave me .5cc for a total of 6.

First fill not so good

Today I am 1month out from my surgery date. I got my first fill on the 30th September and I have a total of 6cc in my band. I had 4cc from surgery and they added 2cc. I have the APS Lap band So I was very excited thinking I was going to have the restriction that I needed. Well, I was wrong! I stayed on soft foods the first day just because I didn't want to upset my stomach then yesterday I did my protien shake in the morning everything was fine there and then I came home for lunch and I ate a wh

Bad Weekend

This weekend I gave into my weakness. I found myself falling back into a lot of my old habits. The habits that I promised myself I wouldn't do. Pizza, hamburgers, mexican and greasy grilled ham and cheese. I had my surgery on the Sept 2 '08 and I go in for my first fill on the 30th but what makes me so upset with myself is that I've worked so hard and went thru so much this month that I just gave in like that. I will give myself a little credit that even though I did eat these things is was a li

2weeks post op

Went for my Post Op appointment yesterday and everything was fine. Still only down 6.4lbs but I am feeling so much better. I am on mushy still very excited that on Monday I'll be able to eat normal food again. Hard to believe that I just had my surgery on Sept 2 and I am only a few days away from eating normal food again. I do find that I am hungry more than I was when I was swollen. But the nurse I had the appointment with said not to worry too much about that the first month is just about heal

First blog

:thumbup:Well, this is my very first note in the long journey I will be taking. I've decided to get the lapband after ten years of being overweight thanks to two of my pt getting it done and their great success rate and to all those that I've read about. I will be going to my appointments on 8-22-08 and since I am a cash pt they gave me all my appointments in one day! I guess money really does talk! I will be going to Northwest weight loss center and my surgery be with Dr.M. I am very excited to
