Good Work Out!

Tonight I really worked out on the treadmill!!! I was listening to Dorinda Clark-Cole!! So Many Times!!! I was rolling! When I got off, I got on the scale and another pound is history!! Woohoo!!:clap2: :clap2:   Be Blessed!!   Coming Soon... Diva Style Cosmetic Consultants, Inc.

March Goal!

I'm setting a goal to lose 15lbs this month!! I need to increase my cardio and also my EATING. I know I eat about 500 or less calories a day and that is not healthy. Yesterday I had a half of sausage w/ not even a half of "biscuit" and gravy for breakfast, no lunch and no dinner. I don't get hungry anymore. It has been seven weeks since surgery and I still have a lot of restriction.   Clothes update: I'm in a pair of pants I have worn in over two years!!!! :clap2: :clap2: I knew I wasn't sup

Pain

The pain is a little better today, but I'm ready for it to go!!! I thank the Lord for today, I feel much better. Praise God!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Down a Pound!!

Although I am still have these pains, I have lost another pound!!! I am waiting for my test result to come in, but like I said the doc that gave me the test assumes everything is normal. I was also told that I may be experiencing muscle spasms in my chest! Well for now I'm happy about my weight loss. I also walked three miles today!!!   Be Blessed!

I Can't Believe I'm Saying This, But...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want to go back on liquids. As much as I hated being on liquids, I am going back. The nurse said I can always go back to liquids to regroup, so I am. I go see Dr. Madan this morning to see what is going on with this possible food being stuck thing! He is great and a hottie too! Well my appointment is at 9:00am, so I better start getting ready. Liquids here I come, again.   BE Blessed!

It's Still There!

Well after using different remedies for what I thought was trapped gas. The only thing so far that has helped is the meat tenderizer, lemon juice and pineapple juice mixture. I did buy the Papaya Enzyme supplement by American Health at Wild Oats. I got the "super" Papaya Enzyme Plus and I can't tell a difference yet. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I just made another cup and I put two of the Papaya Enzyme tablets in it. I'm just trying to maximize my results, anyway I hope everyth

Food Stuck?? Meat Tenderizer??

***I posted this thread and decided to add it to my journal.***   Hi everyone,   Lately I have been feeling like I have trapped gas for over a week. My doctor prescribed Prevacid 30mg, today is day three on it and no change. So last night I use an old remedy of baking powder and warm water. I felt okay for a few minutes, then it was back. Today I called the doctor again and ask the receptionist I could drink a little bit of diet coke to relieve the gas and Dr. Madan must have over heard her

Gas Pain???

I have been having what I believe to be gas pains for about a week. I feel like I want to burp, but can't. Then I can feel it move back down to my chest. My doctor prescribed Prevacid 30mg, I hope it works. Other than that I am good. Saturday I walked three miles in about forty minutes, and did a few other fast pace things to burn calories. Some people are starting to notice, my weight loss :clap2: !   Be Blessed

One Month Banded and Down 23 Pounds!

Well it's been a month already and I am doing great! I went to Dr. Madan's office, but he wasn't there so I saw Dr. Tschansky (good doc too). He said my weight loss is really good and to keep it going. I was suppose start on my mushy stage today, but he said I can start eating solid food now. I was already eating mushy foods, so I can kick it up another notch. Well that's all for now.   Be Blessed!
