Obsessed

I have become severely obsessed with bloggerland. I feel like I spend so much time reading about everyone else's journeys. I love it. It keeps me motivated, happy and also find I can relate to some of the stories and shed a few tears. I go onto everyones sites and continue to find new people to follow on here. I love it.   Couple questions for the pros out there. How do you know you are at your sweet spot??? I notice at 5 ccs I get full easy but also find I get hungry early and start to snack

Mistake

Sorry Antonella goes in this coming wednesday for her band...   ALso I am down 36 lbs today. Yeah... I am 31% to my goal weight. I love lapband.com.. IT does have some pretty cool features..     www.bandsterjourney.blogger.com   Sorry in a hurry have to bring kids to the bus..

Congrats to Antonella

2 months today since surgery

Hey well I am two months since surgery. Since November 1st. 2010 I have officially lost on my scale 30lbs. I am so happy... I am down to 268 lbs. Yeah for me. Once I hit 50 lbs lost I am going shopping at Lulu Lemon.. So fun... LOL   I have an awesome green tea that I am drink 3 times a day and I am continuing with my freshly juiced juice that I do myself so I can control what goes in there.... Todays was yummy. Cucumber, carrot, tomato, spinach, celery a few grapes strawberries and

2 fill

Yeah I get to go for a second fill next wednesday,... I am so happy... I am doing a happy dance and you can't even see me... For me it is the little things..   I feel like I am doing pretty good. My friend was here for a few days and brought me my favourite Japanese green tea. It is kind of a cool mix loose green tea leaves with with roasted rice and a few pieces of popcorn in it.. It is awesome.. So I have been drinking three cups of that a day.. Yummy...   I have bought more le

Lots going on in this head

Well I am doing Fine.. And if any of you know what FINE really means then you know that it is not true. LOL I have been working pretty hard on losing but have slowed. This is where my weighloss usually plateus and I give up... I have vowed to myself that is not what is going to happen for me.. I am changing my plans with my personal trainer because of the pain from my Fybromyalgia... I went to one workout and was in pain for a full week plus some.. It made my symptoms flair up.. I also g

Weightloss to date...

Well I am so excited today I weighed in and I am down another 2 lbs. This week I lost 4 or 5 lbs total... That is so awesome... Another thing I am so excited is I have gone on the BMI from morbidly obese to severely obese... Yeah how cool is that... The band fill went good. I had half cup of mashed potatoes for supper and was full off that.. Later in the evening to get my calorie intake up I had my bowl of cream of wheat with milk to also get my protein up for the day... I am so happy with all o

First Fill

Well it is done... It was not as bad as I thought. I had 2.5 cc from surgery and they added another 1 cc today... So I am at 3.5 ccs. Interesting... It did not hurt felt a pinch but not bad... I can handle it.. LOL SO I will see how the fill goes otherwise I think she said I can go back in 3 weeks which works out good for me because I do not want to be down there during the olympics... It will be crazy traveling the sea to sky through Whistler all the way to Vancouver. I will be staying h

First Fill Coming Soon

I go for my first fill on wednesday I am feeling pretty nervous.... But I am down almost another 2 lbs. Official weigh in is not until friday but I cheated and jumped on the scale...   Juicing is going good getting braver have been doing tomato, celery, carrot, spinich with an apple... I may not savor every drop I basically chug the whole glass... Happy knowing I am getting my vitamins in....   Also tonight Len and I went to see Leap Year then went out for a nice dinner.. I had the three c

Being prepared

Well I have learned a lesson today. I was unprepared and eat some foods I should not have. I did not go over board but old habits die hard and I am feeling guilty as heck about them. I had some chips and a piece of pizza. I did add them into my daily calories so I didnt really go to over board but I am wanting to be eating better more healthy. I learned I need to be prepared for situations. Carry an Isopure with me to hold me over. Buy some protein bars that I can eat and have in my car.

Holidays be gone

Yeah I am so happy the holidays are almost finished. We have gotten rid of a lot of the jun that was brought into the house and just doing the house cleaning now as we speak.. Just a few more things to go.. I have decided to not weigh myself until my first fill which I have to schedule. I do not want to get upset with my progress. Especially if I have gained a pound. Those where my old self sabatoging behaviors gain a pound and throw in the towel.. So I have opted out of weighing in. Espe

Well the beginning of the holidays

Well we made cookies... Yes we did. We had a friend come over and we made sugar cookies and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yummy. I did ok. I ate 2 cookies... I counted them into my calories for the day.. Tomorrow we are doing a big road trip so I will be having scrambled eggs in the am, I will stop at star bucks for a protein shake and at booster juice for another shake.. I can do this.. As long I dont get hungry I am good... I will also bring my carnation mix in case... as long as i a

Weigh in day

Yeah I am down another 3.2 lbs. I only have .8lbs to my first goal.. I am so excited.. On another note I am able to wear my bra with support with out any pain to the port site.. That was exciting I was getting tired of sagging.... Hope everyone else is doing well who has been banded this month or will be banded this month.. OR any other time.. I'm so happy with this...

Nervous

Well on tuesday is my weigh in day.. I am nervous about not being down.. I have been hungry.. With being on liquids my surgeon said that i am not to focus on losing weight that this is a time to heal, but I feel like I need to be down some weight. I don't want to be stressing over this but I can't help it.. I have been keeping my calories to around 1100-1200. This has not been to hard i feel satisfied with this number but sometimes feel like I am eating to much.. How crazy is that.... Onto

Weigh in day

Yeah I am down 16 lbs in 2o days. I am so happy.. This is just the beginning.. I also bought a good protein powder mixed it with skim milk, half banana yogurt and an omega smoothy. I went into a health food store today and got chewable vitamins that taste good, chewable ascidofolus (sp) and macasure. The macasure is the only thing in pill form and man could I feel it going down. OOUCHY.. But I need this have been off it for months and man I am a mega Bit&^ without it. So here is to sta

My Little Diva

I have named my band officially my Little Diva because this band is going to help break out the Diva in me.. Something that has not shown her little face in a long long long time.. Also if there was a time spot on her you would realize that I am typing this at 3:30 am and without my glasses.. I must admit that I must have over done it cause I am sore tonight and having a hard time sleeping. (Yes Crystal and Chantal I am admitting that going to a movie was not the brightest decision) I am al

Three days out

Well I am feeling much better today.. I crawled into bed today and slept another 4 hrs. That felt good. I have only been getting in under 500 calories a day.. Hopefully that goes up in the next few days.. Enjoying this stage of liquids but get filled up fast and then definantly have pain until I burp.. I get up regularily to get the gas out. I am still so happy I did this.. Loving my new life... Still feeling crabby and iritated easily my poor kids but I feel that as I feel better I wil

Officially a bandster

Well I am home.. I feel good... Not great but good. Pain meds are working.... I did well doctors said I did great my Liver was good. I was released 2hrs after surgery because I was up and to the bathroom. I am so happy for Lynn and Suzanne. I got to met Suzanne so that was good. Get to keep in contact with her and have a good buddy...   Thanks for all the support... I was so excited could stop talking about all the things I will be able to do...   Thanks again will keep everyone po

only 2.5 days of liquids left

Well I went on a big road trip yesterday. Left from Pemberton bc all the way around the loop to Vancouver up to whistler and home again... I made it on my liquid diet. A couple fries made it down the hatch but that is all.. I was exhausted when I got home and today I feel like I was dragged behind the vehicle for the whole trip.. I drove most of the way except for an hour out of the twelve hour trip... Crazy.. It is amazing that when u are cut off all food how good all the healthy stuff sou

So close I can almost feel the surgical pain... LOL Not much else is new.. I am trying to figure out my day on saturday need to do a day trip but get really burned out with only 700 calories... So I am not sure what I will do on Saturday... I have to take all the kiddies with me as well..   Today I found a protein powder that tastes like lemonaide. It is pretty good I added extra lemon to it and a neste ice tea pouch and drank it. It will be a good alternative to the other protein sh
