Frustrations And Working Around Issues

When I started all this I tried to ask all the right questions. That said not all of the answers given were completly true.   Frustration Number One - Eight eight hundred callories a day. Not a problem most days it's hard to get that much down. However if I eat anything less than 1000 callories I don't loose weight. However I have noticed if I eat 1000 for 2 days and then drop down to 8 for 2 days I loose weight. My body is on a weird loop and it's driving me crasy.   Frustration Number Two

First Week Down

Things I should have bopught for myself prior to surgery; scale, blender, dishes, food scale, hobby ...   Let me explaine the reasons why. First the scale the thousand resons why here. I have been using my wii fit which would drastically change through out the day and have me at the brink of tears. And yes I should only be weighing in the morning but lets be honest most people pre op that I have taked to weight often through the day to see the changes in their body weight I like to see the ch

6 Days And Made My One Month Goal

So here I am six days post op and I am down 15 pounds.       No complaining there, I now weigh 297 pounds and yes I feel great about it.       Sure it helps that Scotts mom game over this morning and was like, "Oh wow Tom your really looking great!"       Thanks mom, just what I needed to hear this morning.       I can't believe that in the last year I have lost 46 pounds. But most surprisingly I made my one month pre op goal in six days! This morning I noticed an even bigger c

Five Days Post Op

Can't believe it's only been five days and I am twelve pounds lighter!   The next pound I loose I will ve under 300 pounds, and I havent been under 300 lbs in at least ten years.   I am thinking that I need to reavaluate my weight loss goals for the first month. I had originally planned to lose fifteen for the month. As I have already lost 12 pounds in 5 days. At this rate I will reach my weightloss goal of the month in a week. Now I am not complaining one little but, it's just I am shocked

FOUR DAYS POST OP

So I am alive and well, over all I feel pretty damn good for a guy who went to mexico to get lap band surgery. My incesions are happily healing well, the skin around them is brused, a funky yellow color. The sturry strip have fallen off now, I helped a little bit I admit it. But everything looks amazing thus far. Weighed in 2lbs less, starting weight prior to surgery 312, now 310. Not a lot to post today other than I am happy happy happy to be two lbs less.

THE BEGINING - WRITTEN THE DAY AFTER SURGERY MARCH 15TH, 2011

Pre Op Day One by Thomas Moore on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 5:34pmMy surgery day came yesterday, our transport arrived at the porta vista hotel at 8:15 am. We arrived to the border and waived straight in. A few Minutes later we were at hospital Angles. Immediatly registered, there was zero wait times. We sat down in the lobby them immediatly shown to a special waiting lobby, within maybe three minutes I was in the lab getting my blood drawn. Which only took about ten minutes...I am a hard stic

It's All Coming Together

Making the choice to do the lap band is something I have agonized over for years. After finally making this choice I can say it's an educated one. I have fought with obesity since I could walk. And I am so ready for this it is not even funny.   On December 31, 2010 I paid the 500.00 deposite for lab band surgery. This was commiting to the surgery, the other 4,500 will be paid on the surgery day. This after noon, Sue the travel leason called me to discuss my travel plans. My husband Scott, our
