update: 4/17/2010

all the moves are done. Im now living alone in Tennessee and its gorgeous here. Im currently looking for work. Ive got the steps for reenrolling at my alma mater lined up and ready. things are good. okay, lets see. started at 330. got down to 140. (too thin for me). and got an unfil in ..august? maybe september? of 2009, and gained twenty lbs back which...was a good thing. of course i prefer it to have been ten to fifteen instead and i can live with that constant range. Im currently at 160, an

Feb 13, 2010 update

Much has happened. I think i lost too much wieght, and had an adjustment before i left the island with my surgeon and had some fill taken out. Ive left the state, and in transition. Im preparing to move to even yet another state and resume studies in a program i left 7 years ago and finish this time. On the island, i got down to 140 lbs (down from orig 330). much of it was poverty and stress, and the inability to see where i was supposed to stop. Ive since put back on fifteen lbs and feel sign

its been a while, heres how ive been.

i currently weigh 159 lbs. i started out at 330 lbs. i dont have a car down here, and i ride my bike everywhere i go. I am currently waiting tables and still paint, but shows these days are far and few between, so i wait tables. Im also back in college. Prealgebra is kicking my tail. but ...im plugging along. im happy. Im very close to my surgeons goal, and to be honest, i was thrilled even twenty lbs ago. Skin is an issue, but not as bad as i thought it would be. I dont know if im going to pu

Under 200. My re-entry into onederland.

i'm 199.5 today. Tom too. I have found that when its TOM i swell up and cant do food very well at all for a day or two. Its okay, because two days before i was eating everything in the house. I shop well so its not a huge problem.   Whew...what ive found..i can eat BREAD sometimes without much problem, even a quarter to a half of a sandwich sometimes. it comes and goes and i can tell when its going to be okay. Best advice my surgeon gave me was that if i had a pb or threw up, liquids for the

jan 20 2008, galveston from another perspective

Yesterday morning: 228 im so broke. im feeling thin and pretty. got my hair done, eyebrows and something else waxed, last night was the artwalk and my opening reception for the show here, and im exhausted. Ive been out there schmoozing and socializing and im ready to go back into seclusion now before i get into any more trouble. You know, no one ever really talks about, or maybe they just feel like they cant because there is always someone to chastize, but the way things in life change when y

what a winter this is turning out to be!

Yesterday morning: 235 and im in my TOM too! woo! my clothes are dropping off me. I was a size 24 in the stretchy jeans and now, i can wear a 18 or 20. I need new clothes and a haircut, badly.   Im a little concerned though, and i hate to admit this having been smoke free for three years (after 23 years of smoking) but ive picked it back up again. I KNOW its not good. I dont know how it complicates the band, but im sure it does somehow. Also drinking a good chunk of wine a few times a

We have MOVEMENT on the SCALE!

Stepped on yesterday morning and bam! 254.5 today it was 255 but ill take that! woo! im finding excuses to hop on the bike and get out there. the weather is FANTASTIC and gorgeous. As i type this i have on a BATHING SUIT TOP, some peddle pushers and sandles and ive got the window open. its beautiful. i woke to it raining and just let today be sunday all day. Im excited about this. I am hesitant to feel too excited about it though because my tom is approaching and i will likely gain a litt

as per the scale weights

it has varied greatly every day. one day it will be 258.5 (the lowest yet) all the way up to 261. seriously big variations each day, but in that ball park. for xmas, id like to be at least 248. thats ten lbs in thirty days. i bet money it doesnt happen, unless ive been on pure straight liquids i cant lose ten lbs in a month.

getting better but still the same wieght?

Im in GALVESTON!!! and ive been way more active just as i thought i would. I ride my bike starting at sunrise, and just ride around getting things done. I usually dont get back to the apartment until two pm. Im loving this. Im slowly getting furniture and getting the apartment clean and MINE and its great. My clothes are way loose too, but the scale isnt moving. I do NOT understand it, since I dont even BUY sugar or anything sweet or not 'approved band food'. Seriously, not even cheat food

weight change this month (October-November)

i weighed 259 at drs office last time there when i came in and was too tight. he loosened me up, i went up to 262 (was my tom too), then i went in and he tightend me up again, and i left there at 259 again. I got down to 258 and then its stayed there. Im currently at 259. Im at great restriction right now. I dont think i need a fill. i dont think i need an unfill either. im feeling pretty good. i eat small portions and im feeling a sense of satisfaction afterwards that lasts a while. Im still

the wasabubblebutt show

I had the balls to voice a disagreement with something she said was wrong on a thread. it started with her following me. I at first tried talking to her, then tried talking to admin about her via email, tried reporting the posts and NOTHING would stop her from following me around making sure i didnt get a chance to talk to anyone. I do NOT understand what is wrong with this twisted bitch but anyone that posts as OFTEN or as MUCH on this board as her has NO time for decent sleep offline, much les

i started this journey Feb 13 2007

I was banded originally feb 13. i live in maine and fly to houston each month for fills. On my third fill and at a wieght of 285, they found a leak in the top of my band, and replaced it with a new small ap band. I love my surgeon. i hate my nutritionalist. shes very nice, dont get me wrong, but she told me to do fitday.com for our visits and so she can see what im eating and we were only to meet six months. SHE WAITED until the FIFTH month to finally download and even LOOK at my files. she also
