What To Do...

I'm having a hard time right now. Yes my life has quieted a little after a month of pure stress.   Firgured out that my band was too tight so of course I was having a hard time eating. We removed some fluid and now I'm sitting comfortably at 5 ml (I have a 10ml band). I actually get hungry now and for the first time in YEARS! my stomach growls. It's rather odd sitting at your desk at work and then you feel your stomach vibrate. I'm back in school and trying desperately to get caught up since

Happy Birthday To Me!

Now that I'm out of my "funk" I should be a little more active... possibly.   Went to the clinic today and I'd lost another 3 pounds in the past 2 weeks. I blame that on stress, lack of food, and moving. We got a new place and it's a HUGE improvement over the previous. Just moved the last truckload of items yesterday, now it's time to unpack. If I do that while listening to music, it makes me more productive and it seems to go faster.   Today is my birthday and I am officially 30 years old.

Something's Up And I Don't Know What...

I haven't talked to much less logged in here in about 2 weeks. My reasons... none. Something is wrong and I don't know what... well maybe I do.   Got a notice last week that we need to find a new place to live. No problem, we were planning on moving anyway. I've lived in this same place of hell for i think 4 years. Yeah it's time to go. I don't want to deal with packing, moving, unpacking, sorting, getting rid of, keeping, re organizing none of it.   Maybe I'm looking at it all wrong. Maybe

Good Stuff And Bad Stuff

Dr. appointment on Thursday morning to add fluid to the band. YAY! I'm excited about this. I'm trying to eat less but seem to be failing right now. I've understand the first 6 weeks are for healing after surgery and I'm still shy of 4 weeks. Doesn't mean I'm not irritated. I'm doing my part of choosing healthier alternatives but having trouble with the smaller portions right now. Just trying to substitute fruit for sugar cravings and vegetable juice for salt cravings. Still eating protein packed

Something To Consider About Us Bandsters...

I have been thinking about how I got to where I am now. How I got to be so unhealthy. I love food and food is a big part of socializing in American society. I was talking to a college friend of mine and they are big too. We came up with the following explanation. It doesn't fit EVERY situation but I think it is possible to sum it up for most bandsters.   We are "Food Aholics" (FAs).We love food and like to socialize with others. The main difference between FAs and alcoholics and drug addicts i

Rough Day Yesterday

I found out that I was denied unemployment assistance. I was expecting being denied but it still hit me like a ton of bricks. I cried and sobbed so hard last night. My poor husband didn't know what to do. I was so upset that I didn't even want to get up this morning. It was like, "What's the point?" But like this journey, I got up anyway; one step at a time.   I found myself wishing for things to be different so much last night. I was wishing I had never gotten my band. Mostly because it's ano

Week 1 After Surgery And The Post-Op Visit

After my surgery on the 12th, I was pretty weak and in some pain for a few days. I took my pain meds the day of and the day after surgery only. I was a little less sore the next few days and have had little to no pain since. Woo hoo for a fast immune system and for vitamins!   I have been taking my One a Day Gummy vitamins with Immunity Support to help me out. (hint hint, awesome for the immune system). I was on to eating soft foods within a few days after surgery and I wanted to start walking
