job hunting

Well, I've started looking around for a better job. I work seasonal right now, get good money, but I need something year round if I want to support me & the kids. My husband has drank away everything he owns and I see him drinking away this house inside the next 5 years, he already drank his buisness away, his vehicle, so I have to save myself. And there's no way I'm going to bust my butt working just so he can continue drinking. It's either he quits or I'm gone. Oh who am I kidding, I want

calorie counting works!

I'm losing! started counting claories, i've been resisting doing that since surgery (50+ days) I wasn't losing, but now that i realized that i was eating almost 4000 calories i've cut down to 1200 aprox. and the weight is going down, a good 5 lbs this week. I hate counting calories, but it's easy using the lapband-progress site. i went out with the kids last night, they needed a night out, i had some onion rings and i don't regret it, they were good! i get another fill in 2 weeks, i hope i

I'm writing it down

The truth. I want to lose weight so I can get a better paying job so I can leave my husband. I married a mentally abusive alcoholic 15 years ago, and that has led me down a river of self abuse/denial. I've filled the holes in my life with food & pets. Food loves me, pets love me, and I love them back. Don't ask me how it all hapened. It just did. He drove away my friends, then my family, then my own self respect. But bit by bit I'm clawing my way out of the hole I've been in. When I got my b

Frustrated

ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I am so freakin frustrated, I'm hardly eating, working outside ALL THE TIME, don't stop moving, AND THE WEIGHTS NOT COMING OFF!! I haven't lost a single #&%*$& pound for WEEKS. Ya ya, i've lost 20 so far, but 15 of those was before the band on that liquid diet phase. CrAP!!! I......HARDLY.....EAT.....ANYTHING!!! I nibble more at night, but hey, that's hardly anything at all. some nuts, cold chicken, ok i had a icecream drumstick one night. i hardly think

Less computer time!

Yup, moving more, sitting less. I feel good. Could use a bit more sleep, but it's all good. I have to cut down on tim's ice caps, but it's so HOT and they go down so well! But it could be worse, it could be beer. The scale isn't moving too fast, but i see that my tire is definately getting smaller. yeay me!

and I SLEPT!

For the first time since surgery, I slept throught the night without being woken up by pain! I took a zanac around 9pm, so what i thought was hunger pains must have been heartburn! Plus, yesterday...No back pain all day!! I'm on a roll baby! I wasn't going to post this, i didn't want to jinx it, but hell! No pain! And a full night sleep, the first in a month!! hopefully my energy will start to pick up now and i'll want to walk/exercise more! wooooooooooooooo!!!

I did it!

I did it! I actually got off my butt and left the yard and went for an hour walk. I feel great now! What has helped me is not waking up with back pain. I cleaned the kitchen, washed all the floors then out I went. Now, if i can just do this again maybe not tomorrow, but at least the day after! (plus, I have puppy fever really really bad! somebody stop me...)

waiting for the call

Well I called the docs office this morning to talk about all the pain I've been in, still waiting for the call back. I hope I didn't slip my band when I fell with the dog. (ya, sure, 'with' the dog...she bounced me, dragged me, rolled me...) Crossing my fingers and still waiting for my first fill in a few weeks. tick tick tick tick tick....

after vacation...

Well, back from vacation. Had a good time, but it's always nice to come back home. A little dissapointed that I haven't lost any weight since surgery, I EAT SO LITTLE! I know I should walk more, I just don't have the energy. Still getting killer hunger pains in the middle of the night, still have big backaches that I think are brought on by being too full. "real food" seems to bring on the backaches. I wanted this band so bad, but it's so hard changing myself to fit into my band! I'm stil

19 days post-op

19 days, and I hardly slept last night. Boats going up & down the river all night, music, parties, yelling. Plus I had killer backaches all night. When will it end? I should get up, take a shower and go for a walk with my dog. There are lots of people coming to my house tonight, and I'm not looking forward to it at all!! They want to BBQ (they invite themselves every year) and i don't want to cook, even less eat with them. They are the kind of people that only talk to me when they want some

Solitairy confinement!

Yup, that's what if feels like. Solitairy confinement. That's because I haven't told anyone about being banded 18 days ago. I am married, have kids, extended family, friends...And I managed to fly under the radar. It's a bit wierd that no one questioned me more about being in the hospital overnight, but when I said "I don't want to talk about it" , well, they didn't talk about it. Now I'm anxiously waiting for my first fill in about 2 1/2 weeks. I find it a struggle going to restaurants wi
