I am at a plateau and I am happy about it!?

No this is not a typo I am serious. Allow me to explain. Between my pre op and post op surgery I have lost 48 pounds. So far I am happy because I did this to myself I trained myself to read label and excerise reguraly. I didn't have to use any magical diet pills to loss this wieght. Me and my tool did this.   In the past I used to give up when I reach a plateau but this time it is different because I have my tool in my corner and together we will over come this plateau. I know we will because in the past I will reach my plateau when I lost 20 pounds but this time I lost 48 pounds to hit a plateau! To me this an improvement.   So what am I going to do about it? Easy replan and regroup! I review my food diary for the last 2 weeks (that is how long I been at my plateau) and I realize that I have not been eat enough protien! My average is 45 gram a day and I know I need to add more! My calories intake average is 600 to 700 a day maybe I need to up it. I will be seeing my Dr this Thursday and trust and beleive I will be asking him alot of questions. I don't think I need a fill yet because to me I cosider myself in "band training" still. Also I don't think I should get a fill because I am at a plateau. But I will leave this up to my Dr.   I am also going to change my workout rountine. This is going to take time because I work two jobs and I get home late. As of now I've been jogging on my wii fit for 20 mins and doing step aebrobics for 20 mins too. I might try Zumba at home and see what happens. But if you have any suggestions let me know!   Other than that I am happy and I am loving my banded life! I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!   Thanks for reading!

Someone forgot to pay her AT&T Uverse Bill!

I just like to say AT&T will disconnect your internet if you owe them $25. Yeah I forgot to pay them last paycheck so they disconnect my service last Friday. Ooops!   I had a very interesting weekend. Saturday I went to a Fundraiser at one of the bars I used to go to before I was banded. I am not trying to sound conceded but these dudes was on me like white on rice or my pheromones were really high. Anyway my hand got kissed on more times than I received in a lifetime. It felt weird over overwhelming. I am not use to that. I still see myself as the 267 girl but more healthy. I had to text my best friend Lesley because I was overwhelmed! She told me to get over it and enjoy the new me!   I talk to my big sister about yesterday to and she told me to embrace all of this because more will be coming my way. My sister and Lesley are right because I look damn sexy! I am so happy the football season has officially started and next Sunday starts the preseason of Hockey! This is why I work out more on Sundays but so far I am going well. How about those Rams!   Anyway tomorrow is my port replacement surgery and I have to be at the hospital at 530am! Ugh that is so early but I know I won’t be able to sleep a wink tonight. I think it’s going to be a candy crush of a night! I will do my best to keep everyone updated.   I still love my band and I am 65 pounds lighter! God is good   Thanks for reading

Yesterday was my One month Bandversary!

Wow I can’t believe yesterday has been one month since I got banded. I am happy to say that I have lost 27 pounds and I feel amazing. I really didn’t have any plans yesterday I just made me some coffee and use Atkins French Vanilla protein shake as creamer and worked out for 15 minutes until I received a phone call from my Bestie Mandy. She stated that she had a surprise for me. Mandy had tickets to the St. Louis Cardinal game! I was a little bit excited until my fears kicked in. So what were my fears? Yesterday I was able it start drinking alcohol but will I be tempted to have a beer or mix drink.
What if I get hungry and Busch Stadium didn’t have 5 week post op friendly food. Unfortunately I did not have time to research their menus and I need a better cell phone.
My least favorite fear was am I ready to do this?
I decided to not shelter myself because I am banded I need to live and learn. Mandy brought her cooler and added 4 bottles of water. At the stadium we found an Asian stir fry place and they had shrimp. I ask the hostess if I can just order a side a shrimp because I am lap band patient but they charge me $10.50 anyway. Mandy didn’t care about the price and paid for it. The cool part about it was they gave me a Large Chinese to go box full of shrimp! We got more than $10.50 worth of shrimp. Mandy stated laughing at me because I got full of 12 pieces of shrimp. She ended up taking the leftover home. It was a great game because the Cardinals won! After the game me and Mandy met up with our friend Jessica. I haven’t seen Jessica since she came over and made me homemade soup for day one of my 2 post op diet. Jessica complimented me on my lap band success and told me that I look amazing. I have to admit I felt pretty good. We went to our first bar and I had a glass of water with lemon. I wanted to have a drink at the second bar we were at. I was thinking shot of grey goose with water and I was going to add a crystal light packet in it or maybe a beer and let it fizz out for a bit before drinking. I had all these scenarios going through my head and I decided to drink at home first to see how it feels before I drink in public. So water was my drink of choice last night and I was okay with that. If felt good going out last night and just having fun. I am so bless to have great friends in my life. Thanks for reading.
