About this blog

:thumbup:I will have my band placed on my stomach on May 8th, 2009. I will view this band like I do my wedding rings. It is my commitment to losing the excess weight and living the rest of my life in ONEderland. It is amusing I am getting this sur

Second Chances

Everyone deserves a second/third/fourth+ chance to make the band successful. Having the surgery is not the cure everyone hopes it to be. I am certainly seeing the benefit to the band, I eat less, I cant ( usually) down a full meal when going out etc.   My worst enemy is liquids. When I am having a bad food day, I will go for smoothies and sometimes drink sweet tea:-( I realize that I need to change my ways again and go search deep inside to figure out what the block is.   It seems my block

OK I am starting to FREAK!

In less than 24 hours I will be banded. I know I wanted this, I know I need this, I know I will look wicked awesome............but I'm scared.   I just had my last breakfast that was allowed, I opted for a protein shake as I don't want to get my chewing on today. So from here on out it is liquids for the next 14 hours then zip. I get a shot of water to take my meds tomorrow morning and then night night.   I had to ask the doctor to place the port on my left side. It is kind freaking me out b

Worried about telling people......

I don't want to tell people about my surgery, at least not yet. I seriously worry that I will take awhile to lose ( always been a slow loser unless it is water weight). So many WLS people lose faster b/c they had the RNY. I just don't want people waiting like cats under my fish tank:-)   I know it will come off. I know I will look amazing, I know but I don't know. Hope someone can relate.   Today I am off to try and have tea with a friend. I realize so much of my life is surrounded by food,

nerves!

YIKES I am nervous. I have waited so long for this surgery, and it is only 3 days away. Yet the dreams have kicked in again. This time about being in quick sand. I think it is more related to the article I read about bathtub beach......who knows.   The nerves give me a giddery feeling. Like all my muscles are edgy, strange. My tummy is the same, very odd day indeed. Tried to eat less to start shrinking the stomach. Did well, but I am hungry. I didn't need to do the liquids, I guess because of

This is why I have to change........

I decided to use up some gift certificates this weekend. It was a bad bad weekend dealing with teens ( not mine, but need I say more).   I ate Japanese and BBq. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO swollen and in pain. My feet don't even look like they belong on the end of my feet. I hate the feeling and the fact people can see my deformed feet.   Salt isn't my friend. Drinking isn't worth it, and frankly I need/want the change.   Just being grumpy. I am jazzed about the surgery on Friday!   ME

daily mutterings

I have made it through some of the rough and toxic things in my life this week. I ended my job working reservations for my neighborhood. That was huge for me. I always saw this as my way of not making a hole for myself in my house and not going out or meeting people. I had quit the social committee and board of directors earlier in the year. All that is left is the website and that is easy.   I went to another meeting for WLS surgery. I still feel this is the best thing for me. I was worried,

Exercise

I went to the Y today for a work out. I am so stress over some non band related personal issues, I thought it would help. I got to the elipitical and started my workout. There were not too many people around, so I felt ok. Almost as soon as I stated my slow workout, someone came up beside me. He jumped in and zwoosh he was running full tilt on his machine next to me.   Now I support his workout, but it make me seem like a slug to a rabbit LOL. I did step up a bit, but got a cramp and thought I

And so I begin..........

I sit here at 120 pounds past my goal weight waiting. My surgery is less than two weeks away and I am excited and terrified all at once.   The dreams have started and they are crazy stupid dreams.   The first one I had was about my surgery. I sat on the table in my gown waiting for the doctor. It was an all glass room, people on the floor of the office building could see in. I hated the idea of being naked and not in control of what they would do to me. Kinda freaked me out.   I sat up a
