No Resriction...i Need Support Asap!

I am in not reaching the green zone yet and feel like I am losing focus. Had surgery in Jan. 2012 and have now gained back 3lbs. I work hard for each pound so that's frustrating. I am going to try and find a support group around here to attend...need the support of my own kind....Bandster! I have only had 1 fill nad Thursday will have another! God willing they will find my port. dr had a really hard time finding it last time. I only have 1 cc and it is not helping. I need this "tool" to start he

Stuck On A Number

I have been stuck on the same weight for 3 weeks. I would really like to get below the teens 209 would be good! Not seeing the 10 ten in 210 would be great! Mental thing! All I have to do is lose 3 lbs....easier said than done! Could use a little cheer leading everybody...." i think i can, i think i can!"

Happy Mother's Day!

One year ago today I decided that if I wanted to get to see My Gramma years and meet any Grandchildren I am destined to have that I needed to lose weight or I wasn't going to get to meet them when ever it is they are born. There is so much I want to do with them and I have so much to teach them. I knew I had to make a conscience choice to take control of my weight/ health. So I started out on my weight loss journey. I have lost 46 pounds in a year. I had lap band surgery January 19th and I lost

Ups And Downs Are Inspiring

I have been going up and down a few pounds. It is like mental torture. I did drop 8pounds in 7 days but the reason was I have pneumonia, so that doesn't count. Now it is TOM and the water weights here! Well at least I got to see that number and boy it felt great. It has inspired me to dig in, because although I saw the number because I was sick, I now know that it's there....really....strange when you step on the scale and see a number you haven't seen in 15 years! Keep trudging along until I ge

Stuck

I believe I had a stuck incident last night! It felt like there was something sharp stabbing me in the chest and lower left side after I ate some nacho chips. It lasted a while. painful. Can someone tell me there experience with getting stuck.

Rebooting

surgery was 1/19, no fill yet. I have to reboot while I wait for my band to be filled. This is hard I'm running on will power! Isn't that what got me in trouble in the first place!? lol Any suggestions on going on a liquid diet to get myself recharged for weight loss and back to a better frame of mind.

Fitting In

This journey has so far had many surprises and mostly all great experiences. From the people I meet to the friends around me that are all so supportive. It is definitely a journey. I believe my children are learning from this too. They see the good I am doing for myself and I know that they are happy for me. I think they like the idea I am taking care of myself now that they are a little older. They like to see me do things for me. I am so glad to be where I am at this point in my life....life i

Breakout The Rubber Bands!

I remember seeing someone wearing a rubber band around their wrist. I asked them why. They said to remind them of something they needed to do. They said that if they saw it on their wrist they knew there was something they needed to remember. So as crazy as it sounds I'm going to try it! Remind myself what I need to be doing and that's eating better. It might help to put it on the wrist I eat with! lol

I Saw It With My Own Eyes!

This morning I got up and I stood in front of the scale, as I always do....looking down as I stepped onto it, (I believe I stop breathing each time as I wait for the numbers to appear) it said 219!!! I have waited to hit the point where I was in the "teens"!!! I thought there would be a happy dance, but instead I was in awe! I don't think I have come to yet! This is a big step in my journey for my mental part of this. I realize I can do this! What a great feeling! One number less and in overdri

I Can See My Toes!

I Can see my toes and actually the whole top of my foot! So exciting. I have also discovered that I have a collar bone! I can wrap my fingers around my wrist and touch the floor! My joints still hurt and I am hoping it gets better with losing more. I am so happy!

One More Day Closer

It was a challenging day. Stress from home and family. Work went well and believe it or not it is a lot less stressful at work than it is a t home right now. I am caring for my elderly Father and the stress of that is making this journey difficult. I'm a stress eater and I had a good fight with myself to stay in the ring and duke it out with my inner cookie monster! lol After work I stopped at a local restraunt and got a cup of soup broth and tea. Just enough down time to re-charge before headin
