:thumbup:My journey with the band - On my way to the 2nd part of my life!

Entries in this blog

 

I'm back - again.

Back from my cruise and back to the Lap band eating. My eating was HORRIBLE during the cruise, and my exercise has been ZERO.   I'm refocussing and getting another fill August 6th. Until then, I'm eating lean meats, fruits and vegies and getting back into the exercise mode.   will post more later, extremely busy at work today since its my first day back.

Updating my journal -   Got my 3rd fill on Friday (7/6/07), was raised to 3.5cc's and I now feel like I have less restriction than I did before. So weird. I called my dr. and they are scheduling me for an upper GI tomorrow. I hope everything is okay.   I have lost another 2 lbs - weight now finally to 176! I've been on a 3 week stall maybe even 4 weeks.   Still exercising, but have slacked this last week. Planning on doing my LBWO tonight.   I'm also very nausiated right now. I went to the gym on Saturday morning, and was working out and thought I was going to barf on the elliptical machine. I'm not sure what is going on, very weird.

3/9/09 - I hate Mondays!

Okay, Mondays.......I just hate them. I always feel so disorganized on Mondays. I'm always tired (partied too hard on the weekend - not beer drinking partying, just a lot of running and errands kind of partying), I am always lacking my sleep on Mondays, and it seems everything goes wrong. Can we start a petition to outlaw Mondays?   My DH wakes me up this morning at 7:30 "honey, what time do you have to be at work today". uhhhh "the same time I've worked for the past 10 years dear". He said "it's 7:30", I fly out of the bed without even touching the floor "Oh, crap, I have to be at work in 30 min". NOw mind you, my driving time is 30 minutes alone. I throw on something that doesn't need to be ironed, brush my teeth, and head out the door. Oh crap, back into the house I go, I grab my lunch, and head back out the door. Okay, I glance at the clock, I'll only be about 10 minutes late I think. I'm cruising down the highway at a nice 65 mph, and all of a sudden, screech, uuuurk, I slam on my brakes. I am sitting at a complete stop for 15 minutes. Finally on the radio they announce a 5 car pile up on the highway I'm on. Oh, I tell you, I knew from that moment, it was going to be a bad day!   I get to work, FINALLY, 1 hour later, looking thru my purse 5 times and still I could not find my badge. I have to go thru a long check in process with Security. So after getting in thru the security (which acts like we are the freaken white house and wants to check all your credentials, along with almost taking your fingerprints and everything else you might have) I get to my desk, to realize I had a conference call at 8:30 this moring that I missed.   I go pour me a cup of coffee, I need the caffiene this morning! So I'm sipping my coffee, and oops, there goes the coffee, all over my pants, all over my floor and splashes on my new purse which I paid big bucks for, So I run to get a paper towel, and we are out of paper towels in the kitchen. I finally get some out of the bathroom. I get the coffee cleaned up and then go unlock my desk, and I can't find my desk keys. I'm looking thru my pruse, but and they are no where. But as I'm looking thru my purse, I find my badge. grrrr, I couldve saved myself the long Security check in after all!   I have a big call this afternoon and I need my keys! So now I have to drive home (25 miles) at lunch and get my keys!   Now, this is the kind of stuff that happens to me EVERY MONDAY, so with that being said, lets all ban together and OUTLAW MONDAYS!   Okay, I need to start thinking positive or I will be a complet Beotch the entire day.   I missed my workout this moring - overslept - so I have a backup plan, going tonight after my weight watchers meeting.   I have done pretty good this week on WW plan. Had a slip here and there, but I think I did pretty good. I weighed this morning and my scale shows not a big loss, maybe not even a loss. I will find out tonight when I go the meeting and they weigh me.   Well, since I am so far behind today, getting to work late and all, I better sign off and get back to work.

12/26/07

Okay - enough of my self sabotage, its time to kick it up and get the body I've always wanted. I'm so pumped. My knee still burns and I have not been able to climb a step yet, but I am ready to hit the gym! I will just have to modify my exercises. Its time to adopts the NO MORE EXCUSES rule. I cannot and will not be making any more excuses. I have this wonderful tool inside me (also known as "the band") and it is time to use it and quit eating around it!   I'm starting a 2008 12 week exercise challenge, begins 1/7/08. I'm so excited to get back into the exercise. I can't wait for my fill on 1/18. I need it so bad!   I need to measure tonight and I'm going to start planning my meals better.   Today   Bfast 4 slices of bacon (70 calories for 2 slices - very small & thin) coffee with cream   Lunch 1 cup of lettuce 2 oz of chicken on top 1 oz of cheese a few sunflower seeds balsamic/olive oil dressing   snack LC SF yogurt a handfull of granola   dinner -   Water -   suppliments - quickslim30, flinstones

My mind is finally right!

Yep, my mind is finally right. I've gotten over the "mindless eating", I'm back into the swing of things. I really am! I turned down CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE last night. Yay! I felt so much in control when I didn't eat it.   It's been 3 weeks since my last fill and I notice I'm tighter, I think I've hit my sweet spot, I really do. I actually had a PB episode yesterday. I know it not good to PB, but I was glad I've finally got to the point to PB. I was eating some chicken - 4 bites and I was full, and my last bite got stuck. I think I took too big of a bite. I'm finally to the point where I need to take smaller bites. I'm glad I finally can feel the restriction!   I ordered some herbel suppliments from a girl that has lapband (babygotback - Aubree), they are called Quickslim-30. I started taking them today. You only take 1 a day first thing in the morning. Aubrey swears by them, so we'll see how they work for me. They are supposed to help your matabolism - somthing I need help with. :confused:   Weight this morning was 171.5. My menu today:     Bfast - coffee with protein powder mixed in   Lunch - albacore tuna mixed with brown rice   Dinner - grilled talapia - spinach salad   For all those who are considering lapband reading this - if anyone really reads this. Please know that the lapband can be your best friend. But, you can be your worst enemy. The thing with the band is, it works, but you have to work too. You cannot eat whatever you want and expect the band to "lose the weight for you". However, the thing the band will do is keep you from eating too much of whatever you want. For that, I am so grateful. I am able to maintain when I splurge, instead of gain. That to me is a major accomplishment. But, when I watch what I eat (eating grilled meats, and fresh veggies), I lose. All I have to do to lose weight is follow the band rules.   1) No liquid calories 2) protein first 3) no drinking with meals 4) stop eating after 20 min 5) stop eating when full - listen to your body 6) exercise 30 min a day   These are just a few of the rules I remember off hand. I have not been following them - and my mind is finally back in the game, so I'm following them now. I will succeed - I really will!!!

10/22/09 - I shouldn't be so nice!

Well, last night my sons gf came over, she wanted to cook for us. I let her too. :huh2:   So anyhow, she grilled steaks, baked potatoes and made a salad. I measured my steak out (3 oz) and filled the other half of my plate with salad - skipped the potatoe. Anyhow, I couldn't eat it all, got too full, but then she made dessert.   Okay, I thought, I'll just eat 1 cookie, after all, I wanted to be nice after all, she went thru all this trouble. Well, 1 cookie turned into 3. Later that evening I decided let me see how many calories and points a cookie is.   HOLY CRAP, 170 cal each and 4 weight watcher points each! I blew my entire day with 3 freaken cookies. And to tell you the truth, they were not that great! Oh they were good, but not good enough to blow my entire day on.   Lesson learned, I shouldn't be that nice! I should have let my son and the rest of my family dig into them and I should have grabbed my SF jello cup!   So, this morning, scale was not that kind - shows I'm up 1.3 lbs.   Wt 164.9 (yesterday was 163.6)   Today is a new day, and I will not be that nice again! I've got to remember the three little words "No thank you".   Exercise   3:00 pm - 20 min elliptical 8:00 pm - 1 hour circuit training/stretching

10/31/07 - long month, but finally going good

Its been a long Month, things in my life have been hectic, my knee surgery really put a damper on things. My house flooding was a total nightmare, and my grandmothers passing was a heartache.   As they say, Old habits are hard to break. I realized just how much I was an emotional eater. I did it before I even realized I was eating for comfort. I am trying to "think" before I eat now and it seems to be working. I'm trying to get back to the basics and follow the rules. They are easy to sway away from the longer you have the band. But let me tell you, they are rules that you need to follow for the rest of your life. At least, I need to follow them.   My knee is improving everyday. I'M OFF MY CRUTCHES officially today!!!! I'm so excited!!!! I still have my brace on, but soon, that will be leaving too! I'm still tight, and I still have to ice it down throughout the day, but I can deal with that. I am going to probably get to start out SLOWLY next week on the elliptical machine. YAY.   My house, it looks so pretty now. Still have a lot of tiny things to do, but it looks like a home again!!!! I love my new wood floors, I love my new tile in the bathroom, I love my new paint in the bedrooms and new carpet. It looks like a totally new home (its about 40 years old).   My restriction has really kicked in, I have to slow down on drinking and eating. I get full quickly, so I'm making sure I eat good healthy protein that my body needs.   I'm taking the quickslim 30 (on my 2nd day of it), so I'm anxious to see if this will help me as well. I don't feel any different taking it, I don't feel like I have a lot of energy, or don't feel like I don't. I really feel the same. I do think it could be helping me with my appetite.   I was going to "try" and stay off scales, but I couldn't do it, I ended up weighing this morning and it said 170.4. So, I'm losing!!!!!   I am hoping by Monday, I will see the 160's! OMG, I can't believe I'm going to weigh in the 160's. Thats so hard for me to comprehend. when I say it out loud, or type it out loud, it just seems so unreal to me. It makes me want to cry. My eyes are tearing up now. I just can't believe I'm no longer morbidly obese. I am no longer Severe overweight, but the charts show Overweight and getting close to the "healthy weight" range. I'm out of the Red Zone on the charts.   I never want to go back to my old self, never ever ever! I feel so much better now. I love my new me. I'm trying to look past my imprefections (stretch marks, scars, sagging skin etc) and see what my DH tells me all the time - That I'm beautiful. Thats so hard for me, I still see myself as a fat ugly person. I know others don't see me that way, I get told I'm beautiful all the time, however it is hard to have a good self image of myself when I let myself go for so long.....but this is something I am working on. I want to be happy with my body and my looks and accept the things that I cannot change.   Okay - back to work I go............

New Month, and new goals! This month, I WILL get back to the gym, not tomorrow, but TODAY.   I have got to get back to exercising!!!!!   On a good note, we had our District Convention (religion) this weekend - three day, and I ate great! I packed my lunch everyday and had hummus and carrot sticks, very filling. I would also throw in a yogurt or piece of fruit.   Dinner consited of grilled, or smoked chicken. yum.   When I left (Thursday I was at 159, this morning I am at 161). But my body bounces around until it decides what weight it wants to stay at. Also, traveling always makes me hold more fluid.   I am upping my water today, and we'll see how tonights weigh in at weight watchers goes.   I can't believe I'm getting so close to goal!!!!

I GOT APPROVED!

I received a call today from my case worker at the doctor office and she said that she was notified by UHC that I was approved. She told me she would hand my file off to Linda who would be calling me to set up a surgery date.   Now, I'm just waiting on that call.   I am trying to schedule the surgery for January 18th and return back to work on February 14th, this will give almost 4 weeks off of work! I should be able to eat regular foods by then. No one from work knows I am having the surgery, they just think I'm taking off for a hernia repair (which I am doint that too).   I'm so excited, I want to tell someone, but I can't since no one knows, so I'm yelling it in my journal. Yay!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

M1 - Cottabe cheese mixed with lc yogurt (couldn't finish it all) M2 - 6 oz of apple juice mixed with Daily 5 M3 - grilled fish, broccolli & cabbage (about a bite or two of each - except ate most of my fish - need the protein to build my muscles) M4 - grilled chicken, grilled veggies M5   Exercise - UBWO - Worked out at my gym at work today, couldn't get out of bed, this weather is not letting me get up in the AM, but I will work on it next week! My biceps and shoulders were worked to total fatigue - they are burning now!   Exercise #2 -   NOTES - Wt this morning 184.4 - OMG, I am getting so close to being out of the 180's!   I must get my butt back in gear next week and get out of bed at 5 am. Although I haven't missed one exercise session, I have been doing it at all different times in the evening, afternoon, etc. It just works better for me when I do it in the am. So next week, that is my focus.   Next week I begin week 4 of my BFL challenge, after completing next week, I will be 1/3 of the way finished - yay. I can't wait to take my measurements on the 19th - it will be my 4 mo anniversary and, it will be 4 weeks doing the exercise challenge. I am anxious to see what progress I have made and compare my pictures - even though I hated taking a picture of me in my bikini (I had to go buy one cause I didn't own one) - I think it will be neat seeing the difference after exercising for 4 weeks straight. Sorry, just can't share those pics with you guys, lol. Maybe after I finish the 12 weeks and I see a difference and I don't look so scary, I will share the pics.   To all my journal buddies out there, thanks so much for all your compliments and your cheering me on. I am inspired by each of you and watching your progress motivates me even more. Together we can achieve this!

Day 24 of the 84 day challenge

Notes - ahhhh, I'm back in the game! Had THREE exercise sessions yesterday! I am so proud of myself! I am almost 1/3 of the way finished with the BFL challenge! I haven't missed any exercise sessions, and I'm starting to see some changes in my body.   I swear, I get a glimpse of myself (even though I still see myself as FAT), I will sometimes look at my profile walking by glass or a window or something, and I think WOW,that is me? I am shocked that I actually look skinny sometimes. Then when I look at myself in the mirror, I see this fat girl starring back at me. I notice every dimple, every sag, and every fat cell on my body. My DH tells me I'm way too critical of myself, and he is right. I am trying to accept my body and love it and just be the best I can be. No matter what sagging skin I have.   It feels so good to try on clothes and they fit! I am wearing a 14 now with absolutely no problems, and that is a 14 regular, not 14W. I love it. I can even wear Juniors clothes - this is cool. I want to lose more weight, and I will lose more weight, but I am comfortable now. If I don't lose another pound, I still feel good. But, I will lose more and I will get to goal - that is a promise I made to myself and I will keep it!   Also - I managed to stay off scales this morning! Yay!   Exercise #1 - 10 am - 20 min HIIT on Elliptical - felt a little sick afterward - 196 calories, 1.72 distance   Exercise #2 -   M1 - LC Big train Vanilla Latte with Betagen added in M2 M3 M4 M5

Exercise Update

Things have been hectic, so I haven't been keeping track of my exercise & eating in my journal, my bad. I haven't missed an exercise session one - matter of fact, my butt really hurts today. I did lunges last night on my lower body workout, and I'm feeling it this morning.   I actually had THREE exercise sessions yesterday, 2 cardio and 1 weight training. I ate too much yesterday and I know I'm ready for a fill. I go tomorrow - yay!   I'll try and get better regarding updating my journal, just so busy, no time to for anything.   Next week will be 1/2 way mark (June 3). Then I will have 6 weeks to go to complete this challenge. I will be so proud of myself if I can complete this challenge, or should I say, WHEN I complete the challenge. I have tried so many times to complete it but never do, so my focus is to complete it!

11/09/07

Wt 170.3   Scale is steadily moving down, I'm hoping to get to 169 by Monday. If I can chose the right foods over the weekend, I might be there. Weekends are the hardest time for me, We always go out to eat on Fridays, so seem to eat more than I should, and its not always the right choice. So, I'm going to focus on eating healthy over the weekend to see if I can hit the 169 mark. If I do, I will be so happy!   Exercise so far today:   10min recumbant bike, some strength training on my legs (total gym). Will try and do some more time on the bike later this afternoon.

Honeymoon is over!

Well, once again, I can feel myself losening up. I think the swelling goes down and I get lose again. I still have some restriction, but not as much as I want.   I'm going to call for another fill and have him do the fill just like he did this last time, not to take ANY out, and just add a little, I'm so close to that sweet spot.   I can't eat a whole bunch, but can eat more than I should. I do force myself to stop eating before I eat too much.   I've had fills in the past that got tighter after a few weeks, so I'm hoping this one will get tight again, so we'll see. In the meantime, I will make another appointment for another fill.   NOTE TO SELF, time to exercise again and you will lose! Quit depending on the band to do all the work for you!!! ...End of Note to self.   Last Monday when I woke up and stepped on the scales, the exact number was 171.6 - yikes! This morning, it was 164.5, so the weight has dropped a lot in the past 5 days.   I'm sure in the morning I will probably weigh more than I did this morning, I went to my aunts house for a family get together. Well, had a peace of homemade chocolate cake, ate barbeque, and just ate more than I should have.   I'm planning on hitting the gym tomorrow, and eating right so hopefully by the time I weigh in on Monday, I can be happy.   I really really really want to see the 150's again! But more than that, I just want to be at goal. I'm almost embarrased that I've had the band as long as I have and not reached my goal.   I knew when I got the band it was going to be a long process, but I seriously thought I would be at goal by 18 months. I'm now getting close to 3 years! January will be 3 years. I guess I should be happy with how far I've come, I'm down from a size 18 to a comfortable 10 and when I'm weighing around 160 I wear an 8 comfortable. Today I'm wearing my size 8 capris and they feel good.   So I should be happy with my progress, and I am happy. I just want it all. I do not want to be the statistic bandster that usually only loses 60 to 70 % of their excess weight. I said from the very beginning I would lose 100% of it and by jolly I will!   I need to THINK before I eat, I need to quit grabbing the chocolate out of the candy dish, and most of all I need to exercise! Time to refocuss and finish what I've started. So, as of tonight or this morning, Sunday at 12:45 am CST, 9/6/09, I promise to myself that I will recommit to the bandster program. Recommit myself and give me what I deserve. I deserve to reach my goal, I deserve to take time out for myself and exercise, I deserve it all!   So, by my 3 year Band anniversary, which is 1/18/10, I will be at goal! My goal is somewhere between 140-150.   I'm going blog my daily progress, or at least try and blog daily. I seem to do better when I blog....I want to keep myself accountable to my promises to myself so I'm putting it down in black and white! Here goes my final push.........time to cross the finish line and finsih this race!

Finally feeling like myself

Today is day 8 Post op. I am feeling better and better everyday. I was having a lot of blurred vision and a lot of pain on my left side (port side). I seem to be feeling better in the mornings, but in the evenings the pain is a little worse, not sure why?   Still not back at work yet, and probably won't go back until another couple of weeks. I'm still on clear liquids and I am wanting food. I'm really not hungry, I just desire food. But I WILL NOT CHEAT! I have 5 more days of clear liquids and then I will begin my mushy stage. I can have refried beans on that day, and I am really looking forward to refried beans!   I'm losing very quickly right now, not sure if that is good or bad. My doctor told my I hold the record of any of his Lap band patients for losing the most amount of weight from the time of my first visit to the first visit after surgery. He also wants me to be in his calendar for 2008 if I continue to lose. How exciting. I'm down 33 lbs now since my very first visit with the doctor. What have I done? I've simply followed the lap band rules. Simple.   I'm feeling very excited about this journey!

2/21/07 menu

Bfast - 3/4 container of SF Yogurt with some granola   snack - 15 almonds   Lunch - 4 wholewheat crackers and somewhere between 1/4 & 1/2 cup of hummus dip   Dinner   Exercise - 15 min on treadmill durring break 3.0 mph, 109 cal, 3% incline, .74 miles -   Water -   Supplements - 1 viactiv multi-Vitamin, 1 liquid B-12   Notes - I went to my regular physician today, I broke the news to her that I had the Lap-Band, I was happy she was supportive and she told me she is thinking about having it done. She looked at my chart and said we show you gained 11 lbs, but then she saw the date of my last visit (over a year ago), I explained to her that I always yo-yod and on my last visit to her I weighed 200 lbs, that was May of 2006, By November 2006 I was up to 248 lbs. Anyhow, I had the Prealbumin (Malabsorption test) done, I won't know the results until Friday, and I will pick them up to take them to my surgeon and discuss a fill on March 1st. I should not have the Malabsorption test since I did not have Bypass, however, my surgeon requires it with all his patients, even lap-band.   Sad note, my great aunt who is 87 years old is dying. She has never been married nor does she have any kids. Matter of fact, she has never even been on a date. So, needless to say, we are her kids/grandkids. So, we've been taking turns to be by her side during the time of passing. Hospice has been called in and they will stop giving her fluids beginning tomorrow, only pain meds under her tongue to help with the pain and keep her comfortable. Anyhow, I know there will be lots of food from the church, family & friends, so I'm trying to get prepared and not cave in to all the goodies. Stressful times and grief always makes me want to eat, I turn to food so I'm working on not turning to food during this time.

Well, another goal I'm not going to make........I wanted to be at my goal weight by my bday, which is next week. eeeek, not going to happen. So now I'm just hoping by my 3 year band anniversary which is in January!   Eating has been good lately, exercise needs to pick up - it needs to be more consistant. I've got a plan for next week, so we'll see how that goes.   Tomorrow taking a vacation day from work to just play. I plan on hanging out at my friends and lounging in her pool all day. Yay.   The scale is going down, but not down as fast as it goes up. Why is that? Ever wonder how you can show a 2 lbs weight gain overnight and then only lose 1/2 pound the next day? Hmmmm.   Wt 164.6

I'm recovering from my surgery nicely. Still tired but not as sore. I've been eating pretty good but not losing. I've started keeping a food journal to see how many calories I am eating, I could be eating too much without realizing it. I still cant exercise, but hoping to when my 6 weeks recovery time is up. I will check with my doc at my follow up appt. From everything I've read, 6 weeks recovery time is needed after a hysterectomy. wt 170.7

30 Days and counting

Yepper, 30 more days until Band Date!!!!   I went to the gym AGAIN last night. I did another 20 minutes on the Elliptical - Then 10 min on treadmill.   I almost talked myself out of going to the gym. My DH was trying to talk me out of going, telling me to stay home with him. He even said, its fun being fat. LOL. He is 6'1 and weighs 180lbs, perfect size, no fat. But he didn't want me to leave him last night, so was trying everything to get me to stay home. I told him I was only doing 30 minutes and would be back. The big baby.   I did make it to the gym and it took me about 10 minutes to really get into the exercising, I kept watching the time and thinking (I can't believe its only been 3 min etc. ) I didn't think I was going to be able to do it, I just didn't have it in me last night. But I forced myself to do it, and I'm happy I did.   Today is a party at work and lots of goodies. I plan on enjoying myself and not feeling guilty with whatever I eat. I was offered some homemade cinnamon rolls this morning, but I declined since I know I will be eating more than I should for lunch.   I am not going to over do it, but I am sure I will eat more than I should. I will exercise again tonight.   Well, off to get a little work done before my party.....30 more days until my band date - YAY!
