Started with personal trainer!

I have both started weight training with a personal trainer. It has been kicking my butt!!!! It has been 2 weeks and we love it. The QuickSlim30 really helps with the weight training. My body is really toning up and taking on a very nice shape. I don't even recognize my body!   I am maintaining at 146 even during the holidays. QuickSlim30 is out of stock and I have not been able to take it, but I am still maintaining my weight loss. I know muscle weighs more than fat, so I may gain a li

Reached my goal!

I weighed in today at 147!!! I have lost a ton in inches. I noticed when I added the 24 hour QuickSlim30 weight loss patch, things started really moving. First the inches fell off and then the pounds followed. I will never regret my band, but I never did reach a "sweet spot". I was either too loose and could eat anything or too tight and sliming, getting stuck and pbing. Then I guess my metabolism dropped so eating less was getting me no where. My band will always be there to aid me in

I feel great!

I didn't want to get another fill, since I slime on almost all my food, but I think my metabolism slowed down a lot since being banded. The Quickslim30 has definitely raised it up.   I am doing the happy dance!!!:clap2:

LOST 10 MORE POUNDS!!!

I am soooo excited!!! I lost another 10 pounds!! I was going to go and get another fill, but Ruben told me the thought I should try to take the QuickSlim30 again since I was pbing and was tight at leat 1 week or more out of the month. So I did and lost 10 pounds!!! I am at 153 now, only 7 pounds from my all time goal!!!

September 2007 check in

I have not journaled in so long!!! I had a 3rd fill and they put 3cc's in my 4 cc band. The fill level is good and I have pb'd a few times, but the weight is still not coming off. I have been at a plateau for so many months. I had even gained 5 pounds. They came off with this last fill, but no more. I am at 164 now.   When I first got banded, I lost the 25 in the first few months. I was also taking a supplement called QuickSlim30 in the beginning. I didn't really know if it was the band or

Finally checking in!

I can't believe I haven't written in my journal since the end of February!!! I had a second fill to 2.4 cc's. Not much change in restriction. I am going for fill #3 next Saturday. I have lost 25 pounds and have 20 to go. I am cutting the 20 pound goal into two 10 pound goals. The first 10 pound goal I'd like to complete in at least a month, so by mid August. If my new fill is still holding, I will lose the last 10. I have started swimming, but need to step it up and add weight traini

1st fill

I went for my first fill on Wednesday. It didn't hurt and they put in 1.2 cc's in my 4 cc band. We drove into Mexico no problem. Dr. Romero pulled out the air, put saline in and asked if I could feel it. Then did my fill. He said I would feel pretty good restriction and could come back in 8 weeks.

Friday weigh in

I am premenstrual and bloated. I stayed the same in weight which I see as good, since I usually gain during this time. So, could mean I actually lost but won't see it for a few days or so?   Yesterday I ate a 3 egg omelette with crab and cheese and 3 turkey bacons for breakfast, for lunch had carnitas with cheese and 1 Laughing cow for dinner since I got so busy I just didn't eat dinner. So maybe about 900 calories? I only got about 32 ounces of my water too since the people who were doin

Checkin In

I have been doing really good!!   I LOST 3.5 POUNDS ON FRIDAYS WEIGH IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I have been eating really good on South Beach. My ability to eat more has gone up a little. I can tell I don't have much restriction because I don't have to chew as carefully and I can eat more. But, being on South Beach helps a lot. For example yesterday I had for breakfast 2 scrambled eggs, 2 sausages, and two bacons, with another sausage cut in half. For lunch I had almonds and 2 laughing cows and f

Post Op day 21

One more day to go!!! I get to start solids tomorrow!!! Ruben made me weigh myself since he said I looked so much thinner. Well, I started at 190, the day of surgery was 186.

Post Op day 19!!!

YIIIPPPPEEEE!!!! I am almost to solids!!!! Day 22 is almost here!!! I am feeling really good and feeling thinner! I have found out why Dr. Ortiz does not have a mushy stage and it is as I suspected. You can get a lot of calories in during the mushy stage and gain back weight. So, he cut out that stage. 3 weeks on liquids is enought time for the stomach to heal and you just go straight to solilds!!!   Makes sense to me! I have heard of some people pureeing tamales, enchiladas, mole, very fatt

I am feeling very good today!! I do have a slight cold, but band wise, feel really good. I didn't feel any restriction yesterday, but ate the same and when I felt restricted.

This is what I ate today:   Breakfast: 1 cup Gano Mocha coffee; 100 calories 1 package of Spirulina Oats (stired into my coffee); 125 cal. 1 cup of Silk vanilla soy; 100 cal, 6 g. protein   *** I felt very satisfied with this combination.

Post op day 17

I am feeling really good, positive and pretty energetic. I started going to the gym again just doing the treadmill for now. I am clear to do full exercise on Saturday. I will go 4 -5 times a week and do cardio, free weights, swimming, sauna, jucuzzi. I can't do ab work for 3 months, but walking/elyptical/stair master while holding in your abs works them pretty well. I still have not gone on the scale, but my clothes are fitting much better. My thighs also look smaller. I just know I can't take

Post Op day 16

I have been doing really good. I went to the support group in Rancho Cucamonga and they really helped me. They really focused on getting enough protein and the 64 ounces of liquids. You can dehydrate and have problems. I also met a 34 year old lady who has lost 130 pounds in a little over a year. She followed a South Beach Diet type of plan. Lots of water and exercise. I want to follow in her footsteps. They also told me to make sure I am getting over 1000 calories a day or else I will

Post op day 13

I feel great today!!! I woke up with energy. I am also meeting my mom at the gym today. I think that is what it takes, for someone to just ask me. I need to keep it up. I think she wants to meet twice a week to work out together. I should ask Marlene to work out with me at least once or twice a week since she works at the gym anyway and I get a free account because she does.   This is what I have had today so far:   Breakfast: I Gano Coffee with 2 cups of Silk Vanilla soy and I Carnati

Post Op day 11

I need a plan of action. I am officially burned out on cream soups. I need to focus on not eating the same food over and over until I get soooo burned out on it. I need to buy some V-8 in regular and spicy, try all of my new Nectar protein drinks, try different liquids like juice or the soy drinks that are sugar free. I am also making a pot of homemade beans with a lot of water. I put them to boil for an hour and am now putting them in the crock for the rest of the night on high, with some
