Interesting phenomenon

The saturday before Memorial Day, I began taking a progressive boxing class. It's an hour long class where you box and actually hit the bags. I've never sweat like this in my life!! I have been religiously going at least 3 to 4 times per week. The day I started, my weight loss had hit the 80 pound mark!! I was sooo excited because I figured I would lose that 20 pounds in a month and reach the 100 pound mark!! Literally and I mean literally I did not lose an OUNCE in 3 1/2 weeks!!! Then al

Uncertain....

So I'm trying to figure out why all of a sudden I am having Heartburn like crazy!!! I've never had a problem with heartburn in my life!! It's the MOST uncomfortable feeling ever!! I've been researching the symptoms of the band slipping. It sounds like it could be, but I'm not so sure. I think I may have irritated the band by eating too much. I have those days where even now I feel like I can't control what I'm eating. I had my second fill about 6 weeks ago and it was too tight so we to

Inspiring others

Today I am feeling pretty good!! A friend of mine from Florida told me after I had my surgery that her daughter was thinking about doing it too. I got together all my information and made copies to send to her. I found out yesterday from her mom that she was scheduled for surgery today. So I sent her a quick message of encouragement. She's still so young and I think this is the best thing for her!!! She told me that I helped her make her decision to go through with the surgery!!! YAY ME!

My road to discovery.....

It took me a very very long time to even consider having weight loss surgery. I was so against it for so long. I felt like it was failure to not lose weight on my own. But obviously at 37... I had failed enough!!! I had to face the reality that if I hadn't lost the weight by now...I probably never would if I didn't get help!!! At the time of my consulation, my mom had been battling cancer for about 4 months. It was an up and down rollercoaster that I chose to ride ... and I rode in the FO

Pants on the ground...

I walked out of the house this morning in a pair of light weight khaki pants... of course I was late... so I could do NOTHING about the fact that my pants were halfway down my butt as I walked to my car!! :smile: It's a good feeling to know that my clothes don't fit because they are TOO BIG!!! Fortunately I do have some really nice stuff in smaller sizes. I've been so afraid to get rid of anything for the fear of gaining weight again. But Just when I think that will happen...I lose more weig

Feeling good...

So this past Saturday I actually went through that dreaded process of pulling out the spring/summer clothes!! I was trying to hold off until I moved, but I'm soooo glad I did it now!! For the first time I was excited because I KNEW all of those clothes were going to fit!! I was running late, but I had to try everything on!! I literally had a 4 ft by 3 ft pile of 90% brand new with tags still on them clothes!!!! And the kicker....some of them are TOO BIG!!!! But hell...I'm going to wear everythin

Feeling better....

Feeling much better today. It seems that once I realize what the cause of my stress is...regardless of whether I can do anything about it... I feel better. Just knowing the cause it a relief!! So now I'm 6 days after my 2nd adjustment (well 2nd, 3rd & 4th) ... and I'm finally able to drink without pain. I'm still taking it slowly as far as eating is concerned. Egg salad, tuna salad, cottage cheese, yogurt etc. Keeping it soft just in case. I am in love with shadybrook farm turkey meatb

Post Surgical Blues...

So here I am... almost 8 months after having the LAP-BAND® surgery. I've lost 72 pounds so far, and up until now I think it's been too easy. This should be difficult right?? I think the losing weight part has been easier than what's happening inside my head. I always thought that losing weight was the beginning of everything. I would have more confidence, I would be able to get a better job, get more respect, etc etc etc. So far... all I've gotten are a bunch of pants that hang off the back of m
