Day Three on Liquids

Ok, ok I'm getting back into the swing of things! Breakfast sugar-free Kool-Aid (I know not good) and chicken soup/broth from Chik-Fil-A for lunch (thanks for only giving me the broth!), just ran, next is my 52 grams of whey protein. I know I need 80 grams but I'll try to do better tomorrow. Until then Keep the FAITH!

Try Try Again Liquids for Two Weeks

Today is was day one of the liquid phase. I am trying to get that momentum back if at all possible. SO! I had 52 grams of Whey protein and sugarfree juice and one popsicle. And I went running in probably 99-100+ degree weather. I pray I can continue...but I do have another fill scheduled for Wednesday the 28th of this month. This fill will be number five in over three years. Until tomorrow, Keep the Faith.

Fourth fill

On June 1st I had my fourth fill and I think this maybe the one. Now I am aware in the mornings the band is tighter, but this is crazy! I had a peanut butter cracker on yesterday and I was doubled over! And it happened today. However, I must say I am EXCITED! But the stuck feeling is not good.

2 Year Baniversary!!!

As I was running this morning it hit me that today is my two year Baniversary!!! And I am so proud of myself!! Two years later, three fills and now with no restriction:cursing:!! I am on a mission to still meet my goal though...170 where are you:confused:??? Hey others have asked me where would I get thirteen pounds from anyway, but oooh there are plenty of places!! Haha!!

Two Years Ago Today

Wow I can't believe that 2yrs ago today I was preparing myself to be banded on January 11, 2007. Sooooo much has changed since then and I do mean SOOO much. But I thank God that most of the changes has been good changes. However there were others that were bad and scary. Just to elaborate a little my job was relocated and I had to find another, but thankfully I found one a week later. On a more personal note I have maintained my weight and exercise for almost two years. Although I am not at my g

Hello!

I am really trying hard to meet my goal by 1/11/09 without RESTRICTION:angry_smile:!!!! But I have been in range of it....so I will see! Anyway I hope all is well with everyone! God Bless! Oh yeah my birthday was on November 4th! And my present was OBAMA's victory!!! Thank you Jesus!! What a GREAT birthday present!!!

Noooo restriction!!

Okay I have had 3 fills and I still don't have any restriction and I am starting to thing my band has eroded:cursing:!! But I pray that it has not. I have scheduled my 4th fill, but it is not til December 10th!:cry_smile:   Be blessed!   ***UPDATE!!!!**** MY 4TH FILL WAS CANCELED WITH DR. WEAVER (different Dr. and hospital)!!!!! NOT TO MENTION THAT UT MEDICAL NO LONGER HAVE A WEIGHT LOSS DEPARTMENT ANYMORE!! I HAD TO RESCHEDULE AND MISS DR. WEAVER IS CHARGING A 350.00 TRANSFER FEE!!! SO WH

1st PB!

Hello everyone,   I have been meaning to blog, but I have been so busy lately. But a few weeks ago I had my first PB!! It was after 230am (shouldn't have been eating that late!) and I was eat a corn dog, I think I may have been eating too fast. And I felt something that was maybe a little stuck. And then it happened and I was sooooooooo scared!!! OMG!!! But afterward I decided not to finish my food and I went to bed. I don't ever want that to happen again!   Be blessed!

Pre-Opt Phase (again)

Hi Everyone,   I have to get this weightloss thing going again. So I've decided to do the pre-opt diet. Even though I go for my 3rd fill on 7/31 (who knows what will happen). I haven't had a fill since August 1, 2007. So I must say that I've done pretty good!   Okay today is my 1st day of liquids:   SF Jello Better Than Boullion broth Protein Shake   Be blessed!

Well Well Well

Or should I say surprise, surprise. I went on 7/17 for my 3rd fill and after arriving I was told that Dr. T was running late and that he will be in around 1pm. Well my appointment was at 10:15 so I decided to stay. Well after waitin two hours I was told that he wasn't coming in at all!!:smile: So they rescheduled my fill for 7/31, I was so mad! So hopefully nothing will interfere next week! I need a fill bad!!!   Be blessed!

Fill

Hello Bandsters!!!   It's been a minute for me, I hope everyone is doing good. I never got my 3rd fill...so I made an appointment on 7/17!!! Hopefully, I won't have a problem like before!!   Be blessed!

Until My 3rd Fill

On 3/6/07 I started the Pre/Post diet to jump start my weight loss again. I am sick of these 13 or so pounds lingering around. So today is day two and I only had my Nectar shake for breakfast. I also took a Lipo6 so I am not hungry even at 6:48 (cst). I go for my 3rd fill on 3/20 and I really hope Dr. T will give it to me. The last time he said I didn't need one :confused_smile:! Well I know I need to drink another shake or have some broth.   Until next time...   Be blessed!   P.S. It's f

It's Been a Minute Since I've Checked In...

Well hellooo!!! Well I've decided to check in since it has been a while. Well I'm about to wrap up the fall semester at school(THANK YOU JESUS!!) Now I can focus on my exercise. I do have somewhat of a trainer...I've been stuck at 183 for three months. I am vowing to be at my goal by January 11th. I go for my third fill on 12/19 (WOOHOO!). I can basically eat anything!! But I during the week I don't eat any solid food, and I have my protein shake (sugarfree choc syrup, sugarfree Blue Bell Gr

184!!

Well since yesterday, I'm down 2 pounds:clap2:!! I'm :whoo:184!!! :whoo:I really worked out hard today. Today is day five of liquids, I kinda want to keeping doing it, but I'm not sure if it will be healthy. Anyway, tomorrow's another hard workout day and I'm still shooting to lost three more pounds by Sunday. Be blessed!

Long Time No Write!

Hi everyone,   It's been awhile since I've been here. However, everything is going well...I've been taking Lipo6 and I can't tell a difference. I think it's because my workouts have been less and I've been eating a bit (that'll do it), but the good news is I haven't gained!! Anyway, today is my fourth day on liquids. As much as I hated this phase in the beginning it's working out good this time around for some reason. Maybe I am anxious about my 2 year anniversary on 10/1 and my birthday on 11

Lipo 6

I will be starting Lipo 6 on 8/11 to increase my weightloss. I have heard a lot of good things about it and hopefully it will work. I know Telly takes it and look at her!! So I will see. Be blessed!
