Fill #4

Yesterday I got fill #4. Went from 5.3cc to 5.7cc. This morning I had 3/4 an egg and 1.5 pieces of turkey bacon. STUFFED! I hope I am in the green zone now!   Down 31 pounds since surgery Nov 30th, 2011   Just thought I would check in - now I am off for a jog while my little man is asleep.

3.5 Month Update (Roughly)...

I am roughly 3.5 months post banding and down 30 pounds. Started at 226 and currently 196.   I thought it would come off faster but I don't think I am in the "green" zone yet. I am doing my best with the workouts now. My soon to be one year old is walking and keeping me very busy!!   I am scheduled for a fill on the 27th, fill number 4... I currently have 5.3cc in a 10 cc band. I hope this one pushes me closer into the "green" zone.

Update... No Change On The Scales... :(

If you read my "oh, December" entry YOu will notice that I am still 22 pounds down...... I gained 3 then lost three.. Woot?!?!?! GAH!!!   UPDATE:::     I was banded Nov 30th, 2011 @ 226. I lost 10 pounds two weeks pre-op, 10 pounds 2 weeks post-op. Now since Dec 20th I have only lost 3 pounds to bring me to 203...   6X a week I run 3-5km 1X a week I play volleyball 2X a week I play soccer   I am eating between 1300-1500 GOOD calories. No snacking, no junk, whole foods ie: eggs, ch

Oh December - Your Evil!!

31 days post-op with the lap band - down 22 pounds... I only lost 2 pounds in the last two weeks. BUT the last two weeks involved many christmas and new years celebrations.... So I WIN! Hahaha, I am a-ok with pretty much no change as last year (or the year b4, or the year b4, etc, etc) I would have gained weight! Makes sense to me anyways....   Now today is January 1st! A new month, a new year!! A big day for big changes!   goals for 2012: 1. Lose 60 pounds 2. Be the best mommy I

Just Over 2 Weeks Post-op

I am 16 days post-op and down 20 pounds!! Heck yeah! Well in the last few days I gained then lost 2 pounds and it felt like it took forever!! yeah, yeah, I hear you - we didn't put this weight on over night... lol. I think my issue was eyeballing 1/2 cup of food and not actually measuring... I fixed that issue now!! I eat 3 times a day, 1/2 a cup each meal and I am never hungry - but I could eat more if I let myself......   I slipped and fell 1.5 weeks post-op and my port spot still hur

Got'er Done!! Banded On The 30th Of November

So I went through with it! I am with the band!! I've wanted to say that for a while now. LOL. I am post-op day 3 ( I think, I was banded on the 30th and it is the evening of the 2nd now) I blame my confusion on the codine...   I am really gassy, walking helps lots, and my port sight hurts. Other than being stoned I am doing pretty well. I have to sleep on my right side to be comfortable, but normally I am a left side sleeper so that is driving me nuts... Oh well... In a few days I s

5 Days To Go...

5 days to go till I am banded. Woot! I am down 12 pounds since Nov 1st. I am currently on antibiotics for bronchitis. The cough is going away - slowly... I hope it is gone b4 I have stitches in my tummy. That could hurt!! My surgery is 2pm on the 30th.   My parents are coming to watch my 7.5 month old so I get a 4 day break from him. I love him to bits, but who couldn't use a break after 7.5 months?? My husband and I have to fly to Vancouver, BC Canada for the surgery. I live in

9 Days To Go...

9 Days till surgery and I am down 11 pounds since Nov 1st. I am so happy about this!! That is about 1/2 a pound a day!! Woot Woot!! I am getting a little sick of the shakes though. Do you think adding some instant coffee to a chocolate shake to make a mocha is a bad idea??   We went to my husband's Christmas party on Saturday, I did well with eating (yes, I cheated) I had some turkey, house salad, and broccoli. And 3 glasses of red wine.... No one from his work knows what I am doing so

18 more days to go...

Well if you have been following my blog you will know that I have started a "pre" pre-op diet. Well I did great for a week and lost 4 pounds, then my husband's granny died... We had to go out of town to stay at my mother in laws place. She does not cook at all... I thought for sure I would gain every pound back and then some due to eating out 3 meals a day every freakin day for a week. Well I made the best choices I could and I lost another 3 pounds!!! WOOT!!! My husband asked her to buy

27 days to go...

I am on day 3 of my pre pre-op diet and I am already down 2 pounds!! WOOT!!! I do not feel hungry at all, I am eating 2 (body by vi) shakes, a healthy dinner, and one snack under 200 calories. I am still having a glass of wine at night. ARG!! I love my one glass of wine at night!! It helps me relax, decompress, and figure out what I am going to do tomorrow. At least I have another 12 days before I start my real pre-op diet and I have time to cut it out... Brutal, I know... But I'd rathe

It all starts in 4 days. The road to a better looking me.

I am required to do a 14 day pre-op diet. I have decided to do 29 days... My surgery is on November 30th, 2011 and I am to start a three shake a day + 250 calories of low glycemic veggies on Nov 15th. I have decided that I am going to do 14 days of the Body by Vi Challenge starting Nov 1st. 2 shakes a day + a "normal healthy dinner". Why you ask?? Cause I need to get my but in gear b4 it is too late!!! I need to get back to eating healthy, I need to start losing b4 I HAVE to due to the ba

I have one month and 12 days till I am banded. I am really excited but still have some weird questions....   1. Can I chug water afterwards??

How will/should I react to the negative nancies when they ask me how I lost the weight??   4. WIll I succeed? I friggen hope so!! I feel like a skinny person, pl

Anyone remember that song???   My mother in law is here for a total of 9 days. 4 days down, 5 to go. We have not told her about my WLS plans as she is very judgemental... Anyways she is so negative!! My 6 month old is bored playing on the floor with toys even though he is giggling and playing, he is hungry cause I haven't started him on solids yet, he is pooping every time he makes a weird face, the three songs on his jumperoo are driving her nuts... I could go on...   Today I made

What am I doing to myself?!?!

53 days till my surgery and I am going nuts with food!! Why am I such an idiot?? Like today. I went to the grocery store and bought 4 days of healthy dinner stuff, Chicken, steaks, Turkey breast, veggies, etc. Then I went to the A&W drive through and ordered a Teen Burger... WHY?? I haven't eaten at A&W for over 2 years!! But I felt I needed it cause I prob wont be able to eat it in a month.. BAH!!     I feel like crap now cause it wasn't that good, but can someone help me fi

1 month, 3 weeks, and 3 days.

Till I am banded... I paid the $1000.00 deposit, filled out all the forms and talked to my GP about getting the lap band today. She said since she knows about my constant gain, lose, gain, lose over the last 5-7 years she is supportive of me getting the lap band. That was a huge relief!! I though for sure she would tell me to try and diet again... WooHoo! Another person to add to my support circle!!     I am practicing chewing lots, eating slowly, only eating if I am hungry, and eatin

I'm with the band... Well not really...

I am scheduled as a self pay for November 30th, 2011. I am 225 pounds - give or take... I am so excited to start my banded journey. I have started listening to my tummy to tell me when I am satisfied. I am breaking a sweat 2-3 times a week. I am eating my protien first. These are the things I am going to do over the next 2 months in preperation for my post-op success.. I need to work on my glass or two of wine at the end of a long day... but that will come with time I guess.     I
