More Madness... year after surgery

Today is a milestone in my life... my new life! I woke up today and did my 1 hour work out! I did 30 min of hip hop abs and 30 min of incline training on the treadmill! I feel awesome!   I also took my one year bandaversary pic's but had a problem uploading I was totally bummed. I must admit I'm not loving the camera just yet but working on that.   I am going to a water park with my girls and their girl scout troop... Ya I'm a leader and it's time to wear a bathing suite! My feeling is

My Madness continues a year after banding!

So I have been MIA from my blog for for to long! But I must tell you I do lurk a lot on LBT but I've noticed that I for one have been one of these slow losers! But to my surprise you never really realize what your eating until you really look at labels... Then theirs the little of this. You get aggravated with no restriction then you get some but it's not enough and then BANG Sweet Spot!!!!!!!!! Yes this is me… 8 fills later (8 months out of surgery)!!! To date I’m about 4 months into my Swee

More Madness ~life after band~

So after I posted my blog yesterday I decided that I needed to do something about my being able to eat any and everything. So I was able to get in for a fill yesterday afternoon. I was given 1 cc making it a total of 3.5 cc's since surgery because I was told that at time of surgery 3 cc's were installed with my band. Anyway ya I'm feeling this 1cc and loving it. I was able to eat 4 oz of cottage cheese this AM and feeling it at the band. Which is something I didn't really feel before exce

More Madness ~this time it's life after band~

So I'm 10 weeks and 6 days out and well this week I'm gaining weight!!!!!!!! So I'm frustrated.... But I know why I'm gaining but the point is I can eat any and everything with no problem. Ugh so I had some chocolates of course I did it goes down, it goes down really well. Although I have to say it again everything goes down really well. I guess I'm starting to panic this AM when the scale read up a few pounds. I was sick for a week and a half so I haven't worked out either. Ugh... I need

Adding to my Madness...In 2009 good things are coming!!!

So I've been MIA again from my blog! The Holidays were rough... But what ever back on the ban wagon... SO I finally got a date on Jan 6th and my band date is JAN 30th which is just about 2 weeks away. I'm excited and ready for the journey... I have to admit I did gain a few pounds so I'm freaking out like I always am! That would be ME. So This Saturday I get to do all the final lab work and EKG, chest x-ray and what ever other stuff that I can't seem to remember at this moment. But I'm so r

The madness continues.....

So Yes I know I've been MIA to my blog, but I've been in limbo with getting my Shiz together. So here is an update/overview of what has happened since my last blog. I went to the Shrink and Dietician! Lets go over the Dietician - She said my eating is good! Ya that's cuz I'm on Phentromine (sp?), so I'm not craving any crap! But she gave me the thumbs up and said I think you will be just fine, but I must follow the guidlines and what not. So that was one down 1 more to go (ALL ON THE SAME

My madness continues...

My madness continues in my lapband journey... Thus far I had been waiting for the next step from Bariatrics insurance specialist at my Sergeons office. It only took like 2 weeks to get some answers! Ya I was a little peeved at first. But I keept praying until I got some anwers. So the answers came in on Thursday AM didn't even know it until about 3PM when I took a quick break at work and saw that I had 2 messages. I was so mad that I didn't see that at lunch time. But I was just like wha

New and confused in the beginning stage of this process

So this is all new to me although I've been doing research and going to doctors visits and having all kinds of tests done and well my doctor finally gave me the referral to a surgeon. Although I confused. I called the doc and I have to do some seminar before they can give me an apt. The girl was really nice and advised me to see if my insurance covers bariatrics and to not ask to many questions, so I did just that. I was advised that it is covered if medically needed once approved they will c
