My Journey to being the best I can be!

Entries in this blog

Wow ... Its been awhile!

Well its been about 6 months since my surgery. I have not lost nearly as much as I was hoping, doing nearly as much as I wish I was ... but I'm losing. Thats all that I came into this whole thing for ... to start losing. I have hit goals ... which is awesome! The first one was to just start losing. With having PCOS it was impossible to lose, I had tried, trust me. And it just never happened. So losing anything feels great! The second goal was to get below 200 lbs. I am currently at 198.4!! Not t

Im back!

Well I'm back! After my 2.5 weeks in WI visiting my family for a get away from stress and life right now and for Christmas, me and my daughter got back to an empty and messy house. My husband moved out of the house the day we got home. Its an adjustment that's for sure and my daughter is missing her daddy and doesn't understand what is going on. He decided to move in with his girlfriend and I don't want her around that. Anyways its been very stressful and I'm breaking out, losing hair like crazy

A new turn ...

What a crappy week ... There I said it. I've had a terrible week, in regards to my "husband", our fights, being sick, then being sick of what is going on. But I'm determined to make this next week and the ones to come so much better than the one I just had. In church last night the Pastor was talking about a women that was sexually abused by her father when she was a little girl. Well when she grew up she had so many issues because she couldnt let go of the whole situation. She harbored so much

Slow go, no go

I cant tell if thats where I am at right now .. either a slow go or a no go. I feel like I'm at a no go. I know I'm eating less, somewhat better quality of foods ... Just have not done a SparkPeople/Fitday calculations for my eats. I guess I'm too lazy for that ... probably not a good combo for having a LapBand. I just feel completely and utterly TIRED of everything that is going on. I know I am partly depressed because of whats happening in my personal life, exhausted of the go around and waiti

Fearfully and wonderfully made!

So of course I dont like my body. I got the lapband for a reason. As long as I can remember I've been semi-obsessed with losing weight and getting to be "skinny" and fit into skinny jeans etc. I want to look hot and feel hot and be hot. I was always, and still am to a point, jealous of all my skinny friends and all the cute clothes they could wear, and how all the boys liked them and not me. The result this mind set has on me is not really the best ... It makes me feel really discouraged, disapp

Woah!!

Wow ... I'm completely lost! I knew there was some trouble with the site around the 20th because it seemed like no one was posting. Then I wasnt getting any e-mails saying anyone submitted a blog (at least the ones that I'm subscribed to). This is definitely going to take getting used to. A lot has happened recently since my last post ... besides the reformat of the site, all of these things contribute to the "WOAH" title of this blog. To begin with, my first fill went really well .. it was VERY

1st Fill here I come!!!

So today is my first fill .. I hope at least! I'm literally 15 minutes away from walking out the door to head out to the docs office. It will be the first time I'm seen in the office since before the surgery since I was in there 2 weeks after surgery because of my complications. I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to eat, fast, drink water beforehand or not. And the office isnt even open till 9am! Oh well, I guess if I go in there hungry, and I get the fill that will take care of it for a while

I think I screwed up :(

Ugh .... I was on mushy foods for like 3 days then realized I could eat real food and moved on to solids. I have no restriction what so ever and can basically eat anything I want. Today I decided to look in my handy dandy information book the surgeon gave me and it says not to move on to solids until day 25 out. I moved on to solids 16 days out. I've gained 8 lbs since I started on regular foods ... granted I was so excited I was basically eating whatever I could get my hands on. :smile2: Plus h

Moving on from Liquids!!!

Okay, so Tuesday will be 2 weeks out from surgery. Even though I had that mishap last week and it set me back a bit on my diet, I think I'm ready to move on to soft foods! Last night we had Trick or Treating in our town and after days of candy being in the house, untouched by me of course, I decided to try one Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. I figured, its soft, it can be chewed down to nothing, it will be okay. I took extremely small bites, chewed it to the extreme and it went down well. I waited abo

What a week!

So I got banded Tuesday the 19th, everything was great! I was healing nicely I think, I was able to drink my liquid diet fine but the gas bubble was still around. Saturday I went to get ready for church and once I got dressed in real clothes I started feeling nauseaus and really sick. I decided to go to church anyways and it was so bad we had to leave early and I had to be wheel chaired out! Talk about embarassing. I was in bed the rest of the night. Sunday was a bit better but I could barely dr

I'm a Bandie! :)

I'm official! YAY! Everything went really well, my throat is whats causing me the worst pain right now although I am still sore in my tummy and have some gas pain, but seem to be doing well. I walked quiet a bit today so I'm resting for the rest of the night. Hopefully I can check back in tomorrow but this Bandie is going to rest now!

Tomorrow is the day!

Yes, tomorrow I will officially be a bandster. I'd love to come up with a cute name for it, like LoseIt did ... Band Jovi was it? LOL I dont know. Anyways .. tomorrow I will have it. Tomorrow is the start to the rest of my life. I am praying the Lord helps me stay disciplined, to do what I'm supposed to do and follow the rules so I can have the most benefit and success from this experience.   I have been thinking lately about my NSV and my SV. I dont know if I have a set amount I would like t

I'm back and ready to go!

So I havent really been on here that much. I guess I was just waiting for more progress to be made in scheduling my surgery. And the progress has been made!!!!   My surgery date is October 19th! I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 5th, my bloodwork is scheduled for the 11th and my pre-op appt is the 14th! I am sooooo excited to get this all done and be on my way to a healthier better me!   I am going to continue to pray that everything turns out the way God wants it, that my blood work wil

Progress!!!

So! In a past blog I mentioned that I had to wait for my surgeons office to call and schedule a consult with me and I got in on August 25th! Well I called the Psychs office to see if I could get an appt the same day, so we could move it all along ya know? Well they were completely booked that whole week! Bummer! BUT ... I got an appt for Aug 31st!!! I'm going to see the nutritionist on the 25th as well!   So I asked the receptionist what I needed to do to speed things along and when I could "

Moving Along!!!

YAY!!! So at the end of the info seminar I was under the impression that I wouldnt get any appt until September. Well today ... I GOT A CALL!!! I go in for .. well I dont even know what it is exactly but I go in to see the PA, a pre consultation maybe? I dont know exactly. So that is for August 25th! I'm going to try to schedule the psych consult that day and the nutrition consult too! That way I can just go from there!!! I'm so hoping that I can get the surgery before my husband comes back from

Info Seminar

Well I just got back from the information seminar, got the kiddo in bed and sat down at the computer. It is K's (my daughter) first day of school tomorrow .. going to Pre-K! I"m so excited for her to go and learn, I know she is going to do great but I'm gonna miss my precious baby!   So, on to the seminar ... two things really that I thought of it 1. I'm really leaning toward the Lapband for sure now. Just from what they said about the bypass and the sleeve, I feel like the lapband would suit

Here goes nothing!

I'm going in for my educational seminar tomorrow night. I don't really know what to expect really. I think I have researched what I need to. I just get this feeling that ... well, I'm not even really sure what I"m feeling.   I guess this doesn't make much sense for my first blog. I was thinking it would be something poetic like :cool: I saw a picture of me that was taken last night and then one today .. wow, I really need this surgery. I know this is a tool and its not an answer. But right no
