My Weight loss Journal

I need a place to put my numbers in so I can keep track of where I've been and where I want to go. Sometimes when I feel down, I need to just look at the good work that I've done and that will help me feel like I'm doing something right !   3-06-09 --wt. 236 waist 46.5 hips 52 4-06-09 --wt. 217 surgery 5-19-09 --wt. 210 waist 37 hips 48 1st fill 2cc 7-02-09 --wt. 196 waist 37 hips 47 2nd fill .06cc

Bandaverseary

It is now been 2 months since my surgery and everything is going o.k. I haven't lost a big amount of weight but I knew when I started this journey, that this is the way LB works. As long as I lose, no matter how small the loss, I will be o.k. with that. I have lost 34 pds. and you know,really that is a pretty good start! But I think that the most important thing is that I'm learning some things on this journey. I have learned that I can make good food choices, even when I eat out, I have been

One Month Anniversary

Well, it's been a little over a month since i have been banded and I don't regret one day of it! When I first started this journey, I really didn't think I would be approved and when I was approved, things really started moving fast then! About one wk. before surgery, I began having second thoughts like " What are you doing? " and if you would just try harder, you could do this yourself. But , you know I have been over weight for the last 35 yrs. and if I could have done this on my own, I woul

Someone found out !

Someone found me out!! But that's o.k. I teach 5-8 yr. olds on Wednesday nights at Church and of course. I didn't feel good on that night so I called an older lady to take my place and my grandson ( Bless his heart! ) requested prayer for me cause I had surgery and I was cut all the way from my stomach to my leg!! Well, you can imagine her reaction! She began asking questions and of course, my daughters wouldn't say anything! Well, we had a Ladies meeting last night, I still didn't go, and Dear

Day 3 and still a little sore

Good Morning All !! Well I'm on day 3 and I'm still a little sore but I know that will get better with time! I did sleep better last night, I wasn't awake at 3:00 in the morning, so that is a definite improvement! I'm off the clear liquid and on to full liquid, cream soups, protein drinks, cream of wheat(YUM YUM!!!!) but I guess if your hungry enough,you'll eat just about anything(except for cream of wheat!) But this morning, I woke up with a headache so I had protein drink with a Tylenol crushe

Today is the first day of the rest of my life !

:thumbup: Hey everyone!! I'm out of the hospital, my hubby wanted me stay all night instead of coming home so I got home yesterday around 1:00p.m. I didn't wake up from recovery until 6:00 p.m. and he was nervous about me coming right after, so I stayed and was stuck with needles all night, checked my tempt all night, came in and, honestly, woke me up just to find out if I was in any pain!! So, why would I want go home and miss out on all that!! But I guess they were just doing their job! But an

Hey, I'm Back

Hey everyone!! I'm back from my Branson trip!! It was so good , I didn't really want to come home, but as some one said, All good things must come to an end. I did go out 3 times to eat at a restaurant, and made good food choices and I did eat my proteins first, so I think I'm learning something!! :biggrin: I go the Dr. tomorrow so I really had no choice but to do good!! I sure didn't want to mess up all my hard work from the last few weeks !! Talk to ya later!!
