UGGGHHHH I am having one of those what the hell was I thinking days!! On the brigt side I have lost 6 lbs since my fill 3 weeks ago! lol........gosh this is really a catch 22 sometimes I just wanna be like everyone else around me and eat what I want when I want without having to think about how it's going to go down and if I will get stuc

I am so freaking happy!!

So I haven't posted in a while so I have alot to share!! I am not longer in the 300!! Thank you JESUS, and I am now down to a size 18!! From a 24 to an 18 is AWESOME!! This journey is slower than I thought it would be but it is so worth it. People who have not seen me for a while are always like WOW you look awsome what is your secret and I just smile and tell them I have been watching what I eat and workng out...wich is the truth! My husband has been so super suppportive and has encouraged me t

I'm on a mission

So it's been a while since my last post...I have lost a total of 21 pounds and I had my first fill on Tuesday....still havent lost as much as I thought I would at this point but I think my progress is pretty good. I have fallen off the whole work out train becuase I am just so darn tired when I get home from work, but tonigh I mad a consious effort to gt back into the swing of things. MY husband and I are going to the MArine Corps ball on the 4th so I am really trying to get down another 15 lbs

Soooooo

So another 4 lbs gone!!! YESSSSssss! Still tryingto get in the groove of working out, but keeping up on my daily walking. I am still having gas pians really bad from time to time, but I thought they would be over by now. I am loosing inches like crazy but the number on the scale is not changing as fast as i'd like it too, but no biggie at least I am noticing progress..Took my hubby out to Dave and Busters last night and did really well, ate lots of green beans a few bites of BBQ grilled chicken

Post opp....hmmmm

Soooo I had my post op appt yesterday, and I have only lost 17 lbs!! WHAT!! I know others who had surgery same day as me and they have lost over 20lbs. I am al ittle frustrated, and kinda sad, I know I have not been following the T but honestly have been doing really good...I have not eaten a full meal yet and when I am hungry I eat things like string cheese and yougart, oatmeal and cream of wheat,,,I am still doing the soup, but honestly I am starting to hate soup I have been careful about the

I'm in hell now!

So a few days ago I thought that my band had slipped..:thumbup: It was a false scare, and I found out that if my band had slipped I would be vomiting all the time, I am just in bandster Hell, which means that all the swelling fromsurgery has gone away, and I feel hungry all the time and my restriction is almost zero.....:blushing: I have my first post-op on the 1st and I am going to talk to my doctor about when I can get my first fill. For the past week I wake up in the middle of the night in ag

Life....

So I have been back to work for two days now....and I I am healing nicely. I my self can actually tell that I am loosing weight mainly in my face right now but also becasue a few pairs of pants that (uhh ummm) usually fit like tights:blush: are actually a little loose on my now! I have not weighed myself in the past few days so I don't know what the total is so far I am trying to hold out until my appt on the 1st, I still have not bought a new scale and the one we have does not go up to the 300

It just takes a little time

So it's Saturday, and I have to say that as each day passes I feel a little better...I am very happy to say today that there is NO MORE GAS PAINS!!!! All the air that they pumped into me belllt is offically GONE THANK U GOD! The only minor discomfort I have now is soreness where my port is located, and I am guessing becaue it has been attatched to my muscle. I have loss another 3 lbs which is AMAZING so I am down a total of 17 pounds now who hoo!! I am really ready to start working out to speed

Progress......

So today is a better day for me...I woke up a lot les gassy THANK GOD, and a little less sore, I am actually healing alot faster than I thought possible. This morning was my first day of solid food. I ate about 1/4 cup of oatmeal and I am still sipping on my morning cup of joe. In about an hour I will make a protein shake and sip on that until it is all gone. I have to say that I have not really been hungry it's just the mental thinkg of wanting to chew and taste something. I have to keep remind

Iv'e been Banded!!!

I just got back from the hospital about an hour ago!...Ok lets just start from the top. I woke up yesterday morning stressed and a little overwhelemed I was a big ball of nervous energy not knowing what to expect. I was fine as I said goodby to the kids, and then me and my husband were on our way to take our youngest to preschool, and he looked over at me and asked if Iwas ok and I just fell apart, crying....I guess it was all that nervous energy finally letting it's self out, and me a person wh

Preop- Visit done....Life as I know it is over!

It's offically set in stone! I start my preop diet tomorrow...and my surgery is on Monday . I went and saw my doctor today and I have to say Dr. Hamn and his staff are wonderful, they treat you like family and are so warm and welcoming when you come in, and although Dr. Hamn is not the most personable man, that is really not my main concern as long as he is a master at what he does which from what I hear he is he can have the worse bedside manner in the world, just as long as he sucessfully, and

Only one week to go!!

Soooo Next Moday is the big day!! I am so anxious and nervous, and excited I can barely stand it:biggrin:! I have a girlfriend at work that has had banding done and I know I must get on her nerves because I ask her questions all day long all the time on what to expect and what is gonna happen next! OMG I CANT WAIT!!!

Preop-Test DONE!!!

Well I went for my testing yesterday, and got a little bad news, but I dont think it is anyhting that will stand in the way of my goal! So I had to be there @ 7:30 am which meant I had to get up @ 6am ughhhh! :confused:Anyhow I made it to the hospital and did all my registration, they actually went ahead and did everthing so when I go in on the 17th for the actual surgery all I have to do is check in on the 2nd floor. Anyhow I had to do the Chest X-ray first which was no biggie, then I had to d

Anxiously...Nervously.... Patiently......waiting!!

So...I go for my preop testing on Tuesday, and I am really nervous what if they find something wrong with me and decide that I cannot have the surgery?? I am so excited about getting the lap-band, I don't know what I would do if they told me NO! I feel like this is the last resort for me. I have been heavy all my life, and it really got out of control once I had kids. I have tried everything that I can think of to loose weight, and nothing seems to help. I would work ouy 5 days a week and lower
