You know, its only been a month since surgery~

My husband helped me realize that I had the band put in like a little over a month ago. I feel like it has been so long and I should be losing more, but thats crazy! I'm too obsessed with my weight right now. I need to stop worrying and just let it happen.   People obsessed about their weight are annoying and boring. I don't know how I got to this point, I wasn't like this before surgery. I think it's just that I have nothing better to do right now.

JUST SO YOU KNOW.. I will STOP reading your post if...

You use the phrase "that being said."   it infuriates me, it is SOOO annoying!!!!!   I will read a post up until that line, after that I figure this person has nothing original or worth while to say.   HAHA sorry i might just be cranky cause I'm sick, but I also can't stand when people say "DH"   I will never say that. It is so ewwwwww!!!   I'm sure there are more, but those two just KILL me!!!:bored:

I'm watching Miss America

stupid bitches! haha they're so pretty. It's not even my style but I just love tan, blonde, tall beauty queens. Probably because my mother was one.   Here I am pale, short, chubby, and have dyed my blonde hair dark for 10 years.   I wonder if I will ever be a "babe".   I have always wanted to secretly be "mainstream attractive" but my heart just sort of gravitates to an alternative look. I think it stems from my attraction towards alternative ways of thinking. and now i have all these ta

1 month Post op: losing fast

I had some requests for tips.. I am trying to think of what I have done differently.   For one- I don't drink any coffee or soda or any caffeine which increases appetite and dehydrates you. I quit cold turkey along with smoking cigarettes.   I eat anything I want. But, I usually just have protein or mostly protein because I crave it. I like canned tuna, beans, and chicken mostly.   I have a stupid protein shake every day because it is the only way I can take my pills. It usually has 30 gra

first fill!

I had my first fill yesterday and I found out that I pulled a muscle behind my port. Thats why it hurts and pinches when I move.   I have to "take it easy"   Thats lame bc I am so bored and Brian is a terrible house keeper!!!:thumbup:
  • HiMow

encourage me!!!

In one week I get my first fill. I want it sooo bad! I have been really disciplined and only eat 2 oz at a time. I think thats why I am losing so well and my pre op diet was all clear liquid!         10 lbs a month sounds good. If that happens I will be...   80 more lbs by my wedding. that would put me in ONEderland.   199! Can I do it???

I was so excited to weigh less than my fiance

I stepped on the scale and I was 281. So... Brian weighs 280 and i was so excited to weigh less than my fiance. Then he informed me that since I had the surgery he lost weight and is now 270.   WELL HELL.   I am really excited that he is losing weight, too! then we can be hot together.   But, you know...   I guess maybe in a few more weeks. I want to catch up to him!

Please comment is you can help.

I feel like I didn't have the band. Yes, I hurt! Yes, I can't eat. And yet??   I look at people that have lost and think.. gee I wish that were me. I have lost 43 lbs in a little over a month!! and I think I haven't lost any!     I think it might be because I don't feel the restriction. Or maybe I feel like my gravy train is going to end and my loss will slow sooo dramatically.   Also, I cant exercise yet so I feel like a fatty. I just sit around all day. I know this will only be another

Do you remember the first time?

I remember when I first saw the scale go over 200. I was in 7th grade. I was scared. It was the worst time in my life. I lost my family, I was being abused, I was homeless for a time, I saw my mother beaten.   My mom was always obsessed with weight. I have been on a diet since I was born.   When I was born, the first words I ever heard were, "Woah! Thunder thighs! It's cute now but it won't be cute later." That is what the doctor said to the nurse.   I am hungry.

Stressssss

I keep thinking of all the stuff going on in my life.   I'm having major surgery (obviously). I quit my job. I'm getting married on New Years Eve. I'm on like 300 cal a day!! I'm running out of money. I'm looking for another job but.. I'm moving to another state in 3 months.   This is by far the most eventful time in my life. I'm in a constant state of stress and worry with no food to comfort me and no energy to do anything but lay around.   I can't wait to look back and laugh about

Man am I hungry!!

I am so close to my band date! I haven't cheated at all and it has been the hardest thing I have done to not eat any solid food for this long. I am literally starving but I have lost 31 lbs as of this morning.   I think that my hard work is paying off and setting me up for success in the future. My jeans are loose and my double chin is nearly GONE!   I feel like cheating is not even an option. I keep reading in the forum about all these people that cheated here and there. I would be too sca

So I guess this is resulting in a secret marriage

I am engaged to be married on Oct 21, 2010. It has already been planned for almost a year.   I quit my job to focus on my well being throughout December and the most difficult part of this process. Well that includes me losing my medical benefits.   How can I cover all of my post-op care? My insurance is up on the 31st! So, Brian and I have decided to get married on Saturday so that I can be on his insurance plan. We do not want to tell our families because they would all be devastated that

So worried!

My liquid diet starts on Thursday. I am so worried that I somehow will not lose enough weight to get banded.   I took all these tests today. They took sooo much blood. They have to take it out of my hands because my veins are too deep due to my obesity. It was slow and painful.   Then I had an ultra sound. It was surprisingly painful as well. Man she jams that thing down in between your ribs and after having no food or water for the 12 hours before I was not in the mood. It took about a hal
