Happy Bandiversary to me!

Yes, it is here already! It is my one year anniversary of getting my Lap band. Overall i am very happy, down 110 pounds, have no complaints. Have had a few little issues along the way but really has been relatively easy. Unfortunatley I think its harder for me now then it was in the beginning. I am not losing as much, which is to be expected but it makes it harder to stick to. The last 2 months i lost only 3 pounds a month and agreed to have my 1st adjustment. Was really unhappy about that, co

feeling introspective

Ok I havent posted in a few months. Ankle is still on the mend, not 100% after 3 months but I think its about as good as its going to get. Been doing not so good lately, really the past 2 months! Have been very up and down with both my mood and eating, note the coorelation!! Have only lost about 5 pounds over the past 2 months, very depressing! Add that to my already down self and I have been just beating myself. Of course my wonderful husband has taken the pleasure of kicking me while Im dow

Stupid accident and completely sidetracked

Ok I am a HUGE clutz!! I am always doing something stupid, walking into things, dropping stuff. I am always the one to spill something or knock something over. Well 3 weeks ago, Saturday August 7th to be exact, I went to my interval training class at the gym. The first part of the class is with the step platform. I have been doing these type of classes for YEARS! So what does stupid me do, I jumped up on the step and must have stepped on the edge of the step instead of the middle, turned my an

Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggg ggggggggggg!!

So freaking aggravated! I have been doing well the past months. Then the stupid gallbladder issues but i was still losing. Now this month I have been back and forth up and down repeatedly the same 5 F*** pounds. I am in the gym everyday, usually 2 hours a day and I am eating less than I had been previously. If it was something i was doing wrong I could understand not losing. I had one bad month where I only lost 4 pounds and I know I had cheated a lot and been drinking. I have been sticking t

Update

Ok I had the evil gallbladder removed yesterday. Immediately after I woke up I felt relief!! The first time in months I dont feel that lump under my rib, no more random stabbing pain, and best of all no more nausea!!! I woke up feeling no pain, just a sore throat. I was happy to see that my wonderful surgeon could use 2 of my old incisions(from banding) and the 3rd is in my belly button so it wont show. Not that i have any intention of showing my belly but less scars makes me feel better. I am

So tired of this....

I am so tired of all of this crap! I feel like hell and no one is doing a damn thing about it. This started back in JANUARY! It was very mild compared to now but I went to see my dr and he didnt think it was anything but let him know if it continues. It went away but came back every once in a while. Just getting random stabbing pain under my rib on the r side, it would come and go so no big deal. I let it go... In march, it came on strong. Feeling completely miserable, in pain, and disgustingl

Now I realize who my friends are

This whole process has been relatively easy for me. I think its because of the wonderful supportive people I have around me. I have been very open with my plans from the beginning. I had a few people that were skeptical, most had questions about the whole thing. The wonderful women I work with have been my personal cheering section and I am so grateful to have them. They have been terrific about being my support group, pointing out my success, and picking me up when I slipped. There is a few

Needed a boost

After my pathetic loss at my doctors appointment last week, I have been feeling really disappointed. I have been good about not cheating since then but I am constantly thinking about that stupid scale and only 4 pounds!! I needed to give myself some positivity. I did my measurements when I was 6 days post op.I have been recording my measurements randomly about once a month. I never went back and compared them. Well, i needed a boost so here it is: Bust -5 inches Belly -10.5 inches Hips -9 in

So disappointed!!

So, this is my first blog! I am 4 months post-op, I have been doing pretty well so far. Or so I thought.... I have been in the gym every day and loving it. Initially I was being good about tracking what I was eating and protein intake, etc. Now I have kind of slacked off and been cheating more. Dont know why but I was fooling myself thinking it would be ok>Then I had my doctors appointment last week and it was like a slap in the face- only 4 pounds down this month:-( I really was not awar
