Have I Mentioned I Need A Fill

Yes, I need a fill, I have an appointment, and am patiently waiting, but watching that demon scale sitting at 226 is making me want to football it out into the yard, I know i have said all this before, that is all I can think about at this point. I keep telling my self you have lost 30 pounds in 4 months, not a bad track record, I once lost 75 pounds in 5 months, by walking all day long, sigh, I do not have time to walk all day long anymore. Plus I was bigger then than I am now. I lead kind of

I Really Need Another Fill

I have an appointment on the 21st, but I hate to wait that long when I know I need a fill now. I will be patient, but I have gained a few pounds. It is so hard to get it off, I hate to gain back any. Sigh, the process where you are not yet in the green zone is hard. I do so well, then things loosen up and I stop losing then I even gain a little. I hate those mornings on the scale and would gladly football that darn scale through the house. Yes, I can be very childish at times. Anyway I will be

Dining Out

We go out to eat most weekends. I have seen many people ask what can I eat dining out, so here is what I usually choose from, chopped steak, baked or broiled fish, grilled or baked chicken, most seafood, baked potato, and veggies, Now I can never eat a whole meal, but I just save the rest for later or for miss puggy my doggie. She loves leftovers lol. Some people can eat salad, I can eat a little bit but not much lettuce based salads. I can do better with salad that has no lettuce. I skip the br

Just Updating

Well I am nearly three months out and 28 pounds down. I feel good, but I always felt good, Changes are happening, I am down one size in clothes and even my ring size is down one. lol My doctor visit last friday went well and I may get another fill Wednesday. My biggest gripe right now is my baggie pants keep pulling my underwear down lol

Pcp Visit Today

All is well I am now down 26 pounds, and I feel wonderful. My blood pressure was perfect. My sugar was good. I am down to one pill a day for my diabetes. I love my band! I still have issues with eating too fast, not chewing enough, but mostly when I do not pay close attention. I am logging my food every day on sparkpeople. and the stubborn ole scales moved down today after 3 weeks of staying the same. Then I am at work and I can hardly sit still, and I am thinking what is this crazy feeling, It

Breaking Up With Food!

Well I am two months in, I am still at 24 pounds. I am not at all upset with this, I know I need another fill but probably only a little one. What I have learned is that I have a few hurdles yet to conquer. I hate exercise I have to walk. I have a dog, and a treadmill (for rainy days) I have a bow flex. I do not have ambition. lol I am battling with myself over all of this and I know my health will win. It takes time to make a lazy girl move, but the scale sitting in the same spot for a month on

Happy New Year

Working late tonight, but that is ok, cause then it is a three day weekend!! YAY. Time to spend with Hubby makes me a happy girl! I am stuck at 230 and it aint budging. I get my third fill on the 11th of January!! I need it. Hope you all have a great new year.

Over Slept Yay

Well a little more rushed today, we over slept, that never even happens on the weekends! I love it, I am not at risk for being late to work or anything, just a little less time to relax with the coffee. The thing is we are usually up between 5 and 6 and today it was nearly 7 before we rolled outta the bed. Sometimes that is just really nice!! We could do it more often but usually one of us wakes up early and the other follows suit. So I betcha anything today will be a great day. The scale is ju

Food Everywhere

This Christmas there was food everywhere. I did not do good. As usual food won and I gained. It was just a couple pounds and I will have to work them off. It would be so much easier if I could just refuse the treats!! I gave away all the gifts of food made for me. My son says Mom I made you a pie and all these cookies before I remembered you cant eat all of it. I had a slice of your pie son and it was great lol. It is just so hard to avoid the whole season of food. I was in a good place with my

To Fill Or Not To Fill

I have another appointment with my doctor, on the 14th, I thought I would not need another fill, I was feeling good restriction for about 2 weeks. But now I am reconsidering, I am able to eat more, I am trying not to. I was steadily losing pounds, but now I put one back on. I know about weight fluctuation, but gaining is not an option for me. lol (I am self pay) I am really not complaining, I have lost 22 pounds in 8 weeks and that is not a bad thing. But I think you have to give the band time t

All Is Well

I was banded on October 14, 2011. I am down 20 pounds. I was not given a bunch of rules, of what to eat or not eat, but my band is teaching me more than reading the rules has. I have had two fills and am at 3 CC in my band. I feel pretty good restriction. My doctor has moved me through the steps faster than most I have read on here. But so far so good. I am well and happy. I am going to try and post pics 1 per month of my progress. I have lost one clothing size. So I can finally wear the clothes
