Weigh-In: Wednesday, February 6, 2008

It's a little past 4:00 a.m. my time. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to get up and take my official Wednesday weight, which was 234.4. I actually peeked at 233 this week, but I ruined getting solidly to that number or past that number by eating too many carbs. After I pigged out on all the carbs at the end of January, I had a party challenge on Saturday, February 2nd. We had some neighbors from the old neighborhood bring their family over for dinner. We decided to prepare fajitas for the ma

You ate WHAT!

I completely crashed and burned yesterday. Since I restared my journey to health, I've been eating one or two meals per day. Yesterday, after I exercised and took a shower, I was hungry. So, I asked aloud, "What can I eat?" I settled on two strips of Turkey bacon and an omlette consisting of one whole egg and two egg whites, fresh tomatoes and red onions. I also added some fish sauce, garlic powder and onion powder to give it an oriental flavor. Until about 2:00 or so, I just kept drink

Weigh-In: Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Today was my first official Wednesday home weigh-in since revisiting my surgeon's office. My weekly goal is to lose two pounds each week. I identified my starting weight as 242; this week, I'm down six pounds and the scale is rewarding me with a weight of 236.4. Ordinarily, I would be ecstatic about a six-pound loss. However, I plan on keeping my excitement in check until I'm at or below my last known weight in January 2007 (224lbs) before I started slowly putting the weight back on. The thing i

Say A Little Prayer

I love Woman's World magazine. The front page always has a diet showcased on the front cover and it contains health information, recipes, stories, and bytes of information that you may or may not need to know, but are interesting nonetheless. While I was doing some more journey preparation reading today, I came across a little tidbit of information that I had clipped from the Woman's World magazine. What made me clip the article in the first place was that it was a prayer created for an eDi

Okay, what is it I have to do again?

My surgeon requires two day of liquids after a band adjustment. So, I had some time to reflect and figure out how I was going to stay on track. I thought the best place to start would be by doing reading and further reflection. I decided to read a book I purchased somewhere around the time I was banded, but never took the time to read. The book title is Before and After: Eating and Living Well After Weight Loss Surgery by Susan Maria Leach. Some of the things I summarized from reading her bo

The Visits -- Surgeon, Behavioral Health & Dietician

Prior to the making the appointment for the first return visit since I was unfilled, I rummaged through my post lap-band paperwork to call the surgeon's office to find out pricing information and to make an appointment. What I learned from that phone call is that the surgeon had "divorced" the old the bariatric program group and returned soley to private practice with his comrades. So, now the I was able to afford a visit to see my surgeon, the dietician, behavioral health and have a fill f

Starting All Over Again

This past Wednesday, I finally returned to see my surgeon after a year. Most people will think the year I'm referring to is a year from the date I was initially banded. So, I need to clarify the "year" just a bit. I was banded on November 20, 2006. Yes, that's right, the week of Thanksgiving. It was total surprise to me too. From the time I made my first visit to the my Surgeon in October 2006 to the time I was notified of my surgery date was less than a month. The way my surgeon explained i
