I guess I spoke too soon

GOOD MORNING!! Well my last post was me sobbing about not having lost hardly any weight so far...blah blah blah. Well I received my 3rd fill on 8/16 and have lost 7 pounds! That's half a month! Stepped on the scale and FINALLY reached my short term goal. I'm officially in the one hundreds at 198.8. YAY me!! :thumbup:   What's changed since my last post is well the fill of course helps a load. So I don't eat as much AND i have been on the treadmill for 30 minutes 4 times a week. I don't

Somewhat dissapointed

Ok....I know that everyones different. I have been reading through blogs trying to find someone with my situation but cannot find them. I had my surgery 5/15 (exactly 3 months yesterday). I have only lost a total of 10 pounds since surgery. I am not eating terribly. I watch what I eat but I don't feel that fullness that many people have been experiencing. I havent realy been working out due to my personal schedule. But even if I thought at least more weight would have been lost...   So yes

No day like today!!

I got banded today at 11:00 am at Strax Rejuvenation. Everything went great! The procedure itself was 45 minutes. When it was over there was some discomfort but they quickly gave me some pain medication. The rest of the day went fine. Not much pain and I walked on the treadmill for the gas at only 1 mph but it helped. The only thing I didn't like out of the whole procedure was that I had huge dark bruises. Apparently they nicked a blood vessel which caused the bruising but it's nothing to w

1st day of pre-op diet

Ok so today started off good. Took my pills and drank my shake which I had to add coconut oil to and it tasted great! Then a fews hours later the hunger kicked in.....urgh I thought those appetite suppressants where supposed to work! For lunch I did not have a blender so I stirred all the ingredients and it was gross. The coconut oil was clumpy and it was difficult to swallow.....dinner was great 'cause I had a small steak and mixed veggies. I need to really think of a way to make lunches sha

Got my pre-op package

Yay 2 days til my pre-op diet....excited about loosing some weight and being closer to my surgery date....not so much excited about the starving part :smile:. So I was given Curcumin, Citrin Plus, YES tablets and Right Whey meal replacement shake. The first week is a shake in the morning and in the afternoon and a small dinner (6 oz fish, chicken or meat w/a small salad, 3 different veggies and white vinager). The week of my surgery is all liquids, (shakes for morning, lunch and dinner). My ne

1 week till pre-op diet

:w00t: I start my pre-op diet on May 3rd and the time cannot pass fast enough. I see the pics of all the women who have done the surgery and get super excited. My sister has lost so much weight in just 2 weeks and she looks great already. Soon it will be my turn!!!!!   This week i'm focusing on eating the foods I will not be able to eat. :biggrin:

My decision

I have been overwieght for most of my life and have been on a diet for as long as I could remember. Everyday is full of awkwardness. Between the tight pants that pinch my belly to the rolls on my back that cannot be hidden. Everything about being overweight is horrible. I have a healthier less out of breath person inside me that wants to come out.   I have always known that surgical procedures were out there but my insurance didn't cover it and I thought it would be too expensive to do on my
