so happy

Well i am trying to figure out this new set up , it has been a while since i have been on this sight.. I am doing well my weight is not coming off as quick now. I have lost about 45 lbs total. But it is my size i am loving i tried on my first pair of 12 and i can button them yippeee. Although there is still a little muffin top when i do but i cant believe i fit into a 12.not to bad coming from a size 20. I still have to think healthy and eat healthy, i wont say i dont cheat here and there with a cookie or piece of cake but i try not to do that alot. I have joined a gym and have started last week. I had some health issues and was unable to excersize or even do walking distances so i am happy even for the small amount of excersize i can do. I have given away so many bags and bags of clothes that were to big for me that felt wonderful! I do wish i knew how to add pics on here before and after i am amazed at myself when i look at them. Actually i printed them and have them hanging on my wall at work to remind me of what i was. Still not smoking not even a puff that alone makes me feel great so glad i dont smoke anymore and if the band was my motivation for quiting so be it. I do wish everyone the best of luck patience and a wonderful journey i do believe this is a wonderful thing.

Live and learn

Well i had my first episode of throwing up last night. It was not a good feeling took forever to get that feeling out of my chest. I know it was my fault i was eating to fast and not chewing good enough and it got stuck. I do think its a wrok in process sometimes we feel so good we forget and you have to train yourself to chew well and eat slow. On the brighter side i took out some old clothes and tried them on i was very pleased to fit in them again although i still have a ways to go i am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel . I am starting to make a pile of my old clothes that are to big to donate them.. hmmm to big i never thought i would say that. I am looking forward to going to the Drs on Wed to get my 3rd fill and to step on the scale never thought i would say that either. Wish me luck!

excersize

So i have been dealing with an issue with my foot for months now. I went to the Dr and now they have put my foot in a boot saying it looks like a ligament problem. So my question is will i still loose weight if i am not walking and excersizing? I was just banded on June 1st. :thumbup: I trully hope i do i have done everytjing i was suppose to and i am just hoping this doesnt mess it up.

A little worried

So my friend laughed at me when i said i cant wait for real food. I am still on a liquid diet right now my second week. She said i will never be on real food again. I will wont i? It will just be smaller amounts and wiser choices right? just not stuff that is ull of fat. I sure do hope i am right and not her.Thoughts anyone?:bored:

Slowwwww

OK so i think what happened to me last night was totally my fault i ate to fast. Now that i have a little restriction going on i need to chew and eat slower and i need to be conscience and make sure i do this as i was starting to eat my lunch and got the same feeling as last night so i stopped put my food away then when that feeling was gone i tried eating again only much much slower and counting while i was chewing and it went down no problems . I am glad to have some restriction this time after my fill Wednesday as i really had no resrtiction before.

Happy Camper

Well my Drs visit went well i lost 7 lbs without excersize i was so happy and what makes me happier is i am under the 200 lbs woot woot ! I was worried as i am unable to really excersize but am getting around still doing things. they only gave me a half of a cc and didnt really want to they think i am very close to my spot . I think i am to but i still wanted a fill so far so god i dont think it was a wrong move. Now the Dr doesnt want to see me for 3 months ugggggg thats so long i so liked going and getting on the scale every month at the drs office i do have a scale but its not the same as stepping on the scale at the drs office. My friends have been telling me to get rid of my clothes and start wearing more fitted things which is hard to do even though i have lost weight and need to wear smaller sizes i still see myself as a size 20-22 but am happy to say i am fitting into some 16 pants and XL tops yipee! I am also making a pile of my clothes that are to big to donate the pile is getting bigger. Well thats it for my blog kinda rambbled alot this morning. Hope everyone has a great day :thumbup:

Almost time for my 2nd fill

wll think i had my first time of getting food stuck last night. I was eating a burger and didnt get through half way and i felt a feeling in my chest. I got up from the table and just walked around my house grabbing a pepermint tictac and sucking on it. Had my daughter throw my plate out . I couldnt even look at it. The feeling lasted about 10-15 minutes and then after several tic tacs and pacing around the living room the feeling went away. So I am pretty sure that i had my first restriction thank god i did not throw up. i dont think i have lost alot of weight either :rolleyes2: 1 maybe 2 lbs since my last fill if i am lucky i sure do hope i have. Keeping my fingers crossed cant wait till Wednesdays fill :bye:

the day before

Well liquid diet has started today before my surgery . I am nevous,been sucking down broth and water like crazy savoring my green jello for dinner :frown: I did not have to go liquid diet before my surgery is that normal? or is it because the i lost the required weight and then some before surgery? Well guess it doesnt matter cause the surgery is tomorrow.Does anyone know how the whey protien drink is>? that is what they recomended but do i mix it with water or the 1 percent milk?
