I am still in it !

Its be awhile but I am still in it ! I ve reached onederland finally mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn the poundage leaving as I call it rate has slowed......... But I am not going to give up. I am exersizeing more 45 min a day treadmill and bike I am doing about three miles a day. I 've started another mode of exercise ,taking part in every 2k fun walk I can find to sign up for on the weekends I 've completed 3 so far.I amazed at how much I really do love to walk.The social experience is good too I refuse to

Yeah!

I am still working slowing and not giving in to my old ways. I am 11 lbs away from ONEDERLAND !!!!!!!!!!!! I am razor focased on that ONE thought pray for me people............

They really Fit !

Jeans,man we all know how hard it is to find the right pair. Over the past few yrs I was only concerned that I could zip and button them...........(Shield me from the size) and that I would not pass out if I sat down with them on from the pressure of the buckleing( Vivid memories ) Today I am down four sizes and 18's actually fit non sagging butts..............I am soooooooooo amazed :rolleyes2:

Second Fill

My Doc removed 3 cc from my band this morning and added 1cc to now equal 4cc. You know the drill ! instructions liquids for the rest of the day followed by tommorrow mushies and friday I can eat again. Everything seems right in the world when I can control at least one thing with assitance (My Band) my hunger.

Head Hunger or not ?

Going in for my second adjustment or fill Wednesday.Dr said he will give me another 1 cc to my band. That will make 3 cc total. I felt a pretty big pause of no weight loss for the month of June. Dr reminds me that I did lose 8 lbs in May.I am feeling hungier between meals and am battleing myself ( or my head hunger) Fill is the right move for me,I am working my tool. My Dr listens to me I am grateful.

Two's company

I challenged my hubby to join me at the Y last week. We became members In Feb , this morning was the first time he physically joined in the the fun. It was great seeing him swim. He said that just that little bit of activity made him feel like he had more energy!:bored:

I Survived !

Back at work today,feeling almost 100 %.The mail and return calls I need to make are a killer. I don't mind working for a living its just that I TRUELY hate getting behind..the pressure I guess its my pet peeve. What do I have to show for being off from work for a week no post cards to send or anything. I lost 8 lbs last week the hard way puking and running. My only response was to carry a can of lysol with me as I traveled thru my house.................I became obcessed with the idea one coul

Yuks !

I am at home sick today caught my husbands stomach virus. I ve been vomiting and etc for two days. I ve kinda forgotten how to take care of myself when a virus hits. Sip sip sip sleep sleep sleep thats the ticket.:frown:

I think its time for another fill

This month has been a bit awkward I ve jumped on the scale one too many times. I have not lost or gained a thing. I ve felt less than satisfied with my 4 oz servings at meal time. I am sure its time to increase my 2cc for better control. My newest plan for exerciseing is be on a unchangeable scheduel starting today. I did my mile in the pool at the Y this morning at 6 am. It takes me about 20 mins to do it. The YMCA is a few blocks from my office so I ahve no excuses PLease REMIND me I have no

My Doc

Had my visit after my first fill of 2 wks ago. 4 more lbs gone. My Doc thinks I got this, so he said one more visit next month before going to a every three months visit. I feel like I am graduateing or something yeah!!!!!!!!! His words of advice stick to the 4 0z measurement at each meal I don't need to get ahead of myself on this. I agree weighing measureing your intake is critical.............it would be so easy to just eyeball my intake and let my brain confuse want with need. :smile:

6 Months out

Feeling great about my decison to have the Lap Band. I ve had many ups and downs just as all other banders even still i would'nt change a thing. 67 pounds down I am proud of myself. I am physically more active now by just pushing myself. My back pain is much improved and even my arthritis seems to be enjoying my new lifestyle. I ve eliminated the need for two of my medications I ve taken for yrs. I realize now that the meds had some side effects that I had accepted as my normal. They too I have
