Long Time!!!

Wow i have not been on here since my surgery.. It's been a whole year and I am down only 50lbs... But its all my fault.. . I haven't really been following protocol... I do go to the gym but not as often as i should.. I eat much less now and i am basically not able to eat all bad foods.. lol like fried foods, bread, i have trouble with alot of meat...even fish! but chicken is ok and sometimes beef, but pork is a no no and so is steak... One day i had ate a piece of steak, and it got stuck and i could not eat for the rest of the day... I could not even drink water, everything just came back up. .. That day i lost 5lbs... lol Not Kidding.. so far I have only had 2 fills but i am going to make an appointment soon for another one cuz my weight loss has slowed terrible am im actually gaining my weight be now.... but I can't wait to get out of the 200's I feel that if i keep on the right track i will be 199 by christmas... Well that's all for right now.. Have a nice night everyone!!!

My Internet Sucks

Im back at school and the internet sucks this semester... anyway... im at a stand still with my weight loss but this week im going to up my gym usage... 15 lbs down since the start of the process, just 9-10lbs down from surgery... it goes up and down everyday.. its kinda frustrating but i know i am not doing and eating everything i should... i mean i don't eat that bad, its still healthy food, its not like im downing burgers and fries or greasy foods, its just hard for my to break the habit of not drinking with food, like sometimes i forget that im not supposed to do it but i do practice everyday to remind myself not to get a drink... its just a hard habit to break, when you been doing it your whole entire life... plus i can eat more than i expected but i know once i get the one fill that my doctor is talking bout at our first fill visit everything is going to change... portion size and certain foods.... i have had a roll, but i am still kinda scared to try pasta or rice...

1 more day!

:smile2:Now i am 23 hours away from surgery.... This liquid diet thing is not bad at all i haven't even really been hungry.. i didnt even really eat anything today.. Like i had my water, i had one container of SF jello, about 8 ounces of chicken broth with one scoop of Unjury unflavored protein. and i had 1 SF popsicle and one of m 8oz optifast shake for dinner.. and its 1am and i am not even hungry, usually by now if i had regular food i would be starving.. i just really hope to get all my calories and protein in after surgery because i don't think im getting much in right now... i hope i still continue to lose more weight before my surgery.... oh did i tell ya'll? i lost my 2% weight requirement for surgery!!!! YAY!!! Thank the lord!:thumbup: My nutritionist think that by a year time i should have lost more than 100lbs.. she said i have be doing so good with my food diary and my food choices, like i told her, i know how to diet, its just sticking to the diet that is the challenge.. but im getting sleepy my Bandits friends good night all and God Bless!!!

:-( Sad weekend for me!

This weekend was just horrible, My brother had got robbed at gun point, he gave the boys his money and they still shot him... and then the next day My favorite uncle dies... this has just been a bad weekend altogether.... and on top of that i just found out that his funeral is on the day i have my surgery, i wont be able to attend because i already put in the time at my job and i can't reschedule becuz school is bout to start back up and my surgeon wont be able to do the surgery til the 27... too close to school and if we don't attend the first week they take us off the roster for the semester.... AHHHH i just hope i wont have to be to the hospital til like 1:30 becuz his funeral is in the morning.... RIP UNCLE NELSON, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

1st day

Ok so today was my first full day on liquids, (oh and in case ya'll didn't know, i don't have to do a liquid diet, i put myself on it.) anyway the optifast shakes and soups is not bad at all.. they are actually tasty... i think i did fine all day but now that it is late at night i am extremely hungry and i should have went straight to sleep after i got off work... my stomach is jumping up and down... i wonder if i am allowed to add protein powder to my shakes cuz i need the extra full feeling at night.... OOOORRRR maybe i should just go to sleep earlier... lol... ok ima try to go to sleep now... Goodnight BANDITS....

Normal

Ok so everything is back on track again... Thank God, but he always come through, that's why i love him so much! im having really bad gas pains tonight. Hopefully by the morning they will all be gone... August 20th is creeping around the corner, and fast! I am kinda happy i have to work the night before my sugery, i need something to take my mind off of things... Now get this, i have my pre-op meeting with a different Surgeon since my surgeon doesn't have any available dates for pre-op, but this other surgeon wants me to meet him at a spa.... i hope he pays for a massage for me.. LOL. Things i need to do 1. Get a ditigal scale, Mines suck! 2. Go shopping for my post-op diet, Glad i don't have to do the pre-op diet before i go in, but still may do it the week of surgery, just to ensure that i lose the 3lbs i need to, im not sure if im there yet. and 3. Tell my Grandma when my surgery is, i keep forgetting to tell her, even though i know she wont come to the hospital because she don't like them.... It's kinda funny that im having my surgery done at the hospital i was born in. It's like my second birth in the seem place.. well im getting tired, ima take it down for the night... GNE!

uuugggghhhhh

Ok so i'm a little frustrated right now, Just found out today that my pcp went on Maternity Leave now i have to wait til my surgeon office gets back with my doctors office, so they can set up an appointment so i can have my medical clearance. Mind you i still need an appointment for a follow up because i just got out the hospital from gallstones and an UTI infection. My dang surgery is next friday and they don't think they can fit me by that time to clear me... What??? but i called you last week and left a message and you didnt return my call... Now if i go with the medical doctor at my surgeons office i have to pay $135 just for him to clear me.... I'm a college student who only work weekends, i don't have that type of money, especially since school is bout to start back up and i need books.....UUGGGHHH FML!!!:thumbup:

Surgery date!!!

Guess What everyone, i just went to my first dietician meeting on monday, and i have a surgery date for the 20th. Is anyone else on that date too, i have 3 more pounds to lose, because i just found out on monday after two months of not knowing that i have to lose 2% of my body weight... requirement of my insurance. Now wouldn't it have been smart of the surgeon to tell me that at the first consult.. Thank God i didn't really go on a binge eating frantic, or get that Last Supper Syndrome (even tho i think i kinda did, but i still lost 4lbs off of it)... everything is being rushed now, i have to do labs and go see my pcp who's an hour away, and see the surgeon for the pre-op 3days before the surgery... Thank God i don't have to do the 2 weeks pre-op diet.. My surgeon is not that strict.. Its finally here.. I'm excited and scared and i truely HATE the feeling of being rushed, im on a diet right now, and i finally signed up for a gym to get them extra pounds off now. i have to prepare my mind mentally for the surgery, im just so happy that i still got to get this surgery done before i go back to school, exactly 10 days before i have to go back. My aunt said i am going to be a monster after the weight falls off, cuz i am already conceited. And i think its true. I'm spoiled, conceited and i throw fits from time to time, but i am also caring, generous, and an all out loving person. so i still think i will still be me no matter what... Thank you guys for your advice on here, it really helped pull me through. OMG I'm just so excited i can't stop writing. My new birthday is coming soon and i can't wait!

next appt.

i have my EKG done tomorrow... i am not sure of what to expect. like i know they are taking a look at my heart and valves. i hope everything looks good... Update: my first dietician meeting was cancelled, and now i have to wait another week.. so mad about that.. but oh well! I think im kinda getting discouraged here.. I have put on weight in the last two months i think its that i gotta eat everything insight syndrome... Sometimes i wanna cry and just stop eating but i know that wont help... i am not an emotional eater, i just don't know when to say when yet... i need to just stop and slow down and just think for a minute... i have to join a gym everytime i go to sign up i back out... i dont know what i am afraid of.... uggh im bout to cry again:crying:... i THINK i have gained about 10 pounds in these last two months instead of losing the 10 i was supposed to... tomorrow when i go get my EKG i will see how much i have gained.. :rolleyes2::frown::bye::frown:

Dietician Meeting

I finally got my first meeting with the dieticican.. although it is not until the end of july. hopefully i can get all my meeting in a row... even better, hopefully i will only need that one meeting.. even tho i doubt that.... i am really pushing for an August surgery but since i can't really get in to see the dietician i doubt it will happen in August.. better yet before i have to go back to school...:smile2:.. i really didnt want to have to take off from school being as though im paying for it... i don't think i will be able to catch up missing almost two weeks of school work, and projects.... All i can do is pray that something opens up and i will be doing my pre-op first week of August.... Today seems to be a bad day for me... i have to dwell on not gettin an august date, and i have to go to work when all i wanna do is sleep.... I hope my travelers don't mind my B!%^& attitude today...

So far so good

ok so i've started drinking my shakes in the morning, i have chose the slim fast shakes but now im thinking i need a protein shake being as though i get hungry after i drink the shakes, but today i really didnt get hungry til about 12pm so that's lunch time, i guess my body is getting used to just having it in my system, i haven't join the gym yet because i ran out of money this weekend but hopefully i can get my brother to give me like $40 so i can join! hopefully, i am still excited about joining especially since i just found my workout shoes at my grandma's house.... LETS GOOOO!!!! I can do this, i know i can!:smile2:

Starting Anew

Ok so i decided that i want to start a blog, i think this will kinda calm me down during my journey to be banded...i am an inpatient person sometimes, especially when it comes to wait for something to happen, i just want it done now without all the extra stuff that's involved but i know i have to be physically, and mentally ready for this surgery so it is for the best:rolleyes2:.... N.E.Way i had my pysch evaluation yesterday and it went pretty well. The Doc, thinks that i am ready for the lifestyle change and can see that i am not BSing about it.... Good! The surgeon is looking to do the surgery in August, i hope before i go back to school, i know that in school i can make a healthier eating choice than i can at home (my mom love to eat, but she's a twig) why couldn't i have had her Genes like my brother and sister? Next month i have my other appts. and i have to see the dietician 3 times before the surgery, i know my insurance will pay for the surgery so i am not worried about that at all, what i am worried about the most is sticking with the routine diet and exercise, when i do diets i stick with it until i see that i have lost a good amount of weight, then i get bored and stop... then gain it back plus some:eek:... i am tired of the vicious cycle so i have to be determined to stick with it... i dont want to be too skinny i just want to be healthy and out of risk for everything.. i think maybe a size 8-10 would be good:cool:... Is there anyone else out there that don't want to be too skinny or is that just me?
