My trip was awesome I did not worry about what I ate, but did not eat too bad. I think the worst I did was have a Snow cone and i know the syrup is the worst part but dang they were yummy. I cam home and was the same weight as when I left 202/203 depend on the day and time... well FINALLY this week I hit 199. I started worrying that I would not lose anymore weight because of the past failed attempts..

Well I missed my goal by 2lbs but I am not to upset at this moment since I am at the airport heading to sun and warm weather... Well I was 200 one morning but did not count it cause I knew I would go back up because it was because I was semi sick the night before and did not eat and was in the bathroom off and on all night..... POOF then a stall.... I truly believe I will start losing while I am in Kauai because its so much seafood and fresh fruit and I will be eating healthier!! We are doing

213 For A Total Of 50Lbs Lost So Far

If you read my other blogs you will know I went to the casino last weekend........ Lost my butt... LOL....... would have been ok if I would not have woke up at 430am and wanting to gamble cause I won 160.00 off the $ machine and blew that the following morning....   My son flew in Tuesday night.... I was almost nervous to see him..... was afraid he couldn't tell I have lost weight.... I know silly of me.. but I think we all still see the chubby person.. He was like WOW mom you are looking good

216!

I forgot to weigh my self yesterday AM, so I weighed myself last night I was 218 at night,(usually I am that in am and then by night I am up anywhere from 1-3lbs) and i just knew I would be at least 217 this am and was totally shocked that I was 216!... I dont know if I posted in the last one but I measure my waist and I am 3 inches smaller for a total of 7 inches!!!   I decided I needed a night away so my mom, sister and I are going to go stay the night at the casino/hotel Saturday, which is

218 / 217.8

So got on the scale and I was 217.8 in the middle of the night but when I woke up and got on the scales and weighed myself like normal in the am. I was 218 so I am not counting the 217.8 even though I want to so bad!!!!!!!!!!! So I have decided to take my multi Vitamin in am and pm to make sure I am doing ok on those. I have a doctor's appt. Nov 30 and I was hoping to have lost more by the time I went!! now I am stressing that I am a slacker!! lol   So the gym did not work out as well as I tho

Finally Losing Again 219 This Am!

I have not posted in a while. I have been pretty depressed with my weight lose. I know part was my fault because I was not exercising, but I have been so tired with no energy! I finally forced myself this week to join the gym. I have my best friend and my sister join with me so if one is unable to go the other will be there sooooooooo that makes me have to go!!! I am only able to do 1.25 miles right now but that is better then nothing and OMG the elliptical is WAY!!!!!!! out of my league right

9/3/2012

Been 2 weeks 5 days since I had surgery. I am down to 230lbs total 33lbs, (12lbs down from day of surgery weight) even though when I left hospital I was up 11lbs, but how do I count re-losing that weight.   My mom and I went to the mountains Sat. road was a little bumpy but I did ok. I ended up pretty tired when I got home, and I have taken it easy today. I wished I had a little more energy but I figured it really has not been that long.   I think this weekend has been the hardest with the

My Dad Stopped By!

I was not planning on doing another blog so soon but my dad stopped by, he seen me right before surgery but he was leaving town! ( I did the don't change your plans I will be fine speech) He stated "wow, I can tell sis" I know that I was down almost 20 lbs before the surgery, but seems these last 10lbs were the ones that you could start to notice more in my face and stomach!   Can we say roller coaster day!!!!!!! Today is the first day I felt like I had energy and the day I decide to cry at ev

Sunday!

Well I feel like it has taken 2 days to get over going to the Dr. Friday. I have truly learned my lesson on making sure I eat enough during the day!   I went shopping at walmart today, dang that store is BIG! LOL.......   I am trying different protein drinks, everything taste TERRIBLE... I know its just me right now. I spent 14.00 to try this "new" stuff stated taste like watermelon, excited right! I love watermelon flavor..... thinking woohoo 42 grams of protein I can sip on this all day..

Dr.'s Appt Today

I had my Dr.'s appt. today, which I was very happy when the Dr. said I was down to 237lbs!!!!!!!!!!! so happy, but really sucked was the drive. 2 hours there, 2 hour appt., 2 hour drive back. I stupidly did not bring enough to eat on, and going that long made me almost sick. Lesson learned!! I get to move up from liquids to pureed foods. pretty excited!   So I made a short term goal to be under 200 by my next appt. which is in Nov. I am part worred that is a lot to lose in 3 months!! but I t

Sister Stopped By!

My sister stopped by yesterday, and walks in the door and says OMG!! I can tell in your face already..... She makes me go in the bathroom in front of the mirror and we stood there and she told me to lower my face so you can see how many double chins we had. I noticed!!!!!! it was not there compared to the way I used to have BIG double chin. So then She started looking me over and said let me see your stomach so I showed her........ she said YEP I can tell your tummy is not out as far. Well I am

After Surgery

Surgery was Aug 15th!!! Everyone was so nice, a lot of in and out with people all asking the same questions (safety First!!!) My boyfriend (marc) and my mom were in the pre room with me up till they wheeled me away which was really nice. I do remember going into the operation room and looking around but I was done from there.   I woke up in recover for a few, I was in such a fog. They brought me to my room, I am not sure what all happened or how to explain it. But I freaked out pretty bad, I

2 Days 19 Hours Till Surgery

I asked my other half to take pictures of me today so I have some full front, side and back pictures. Part of me feels time is not going fast enough and another side of me is its flying by.   Today my nerves are getting the best of me... almost like anxiety!! Seems like the protein drinks are not enough today!!!   Picking up a tread mill today so I will have it in the house and be able to walk on it when ever I want since I will be home almost 3 weeks before I head back to work.   My son

Sunday Been A Good Weekend!

I was worried about the weekend being bored and eating, I think I did pretty good. Even went out with family for dinner and had salad and baby shrimp. I went with my mom and walked about 1 hour nothing fast just walking around shopping you don't even realize you have walked 1 hour. I started a list of items I will need after I come home from Surgery to have it all in the home for me. I also found a robe to take with me to the hospital, as most know its hard to find one that would fit.... I found

Pre Op Appointment Today

I had my pre op appointment today. I had started my liquid diet two days ago and let her know that I was having issues drinking 5 or 6 shakes a day I am only getting 2 down but I am getting my 64 oz of water down plus extra. She let me know it was ok to have chicken, fish, and such just really watch Carbs. I did order chicken broth that is from unjury that has protein that should help but until it arrives I needed to do something I was only taking in about 400 cal. a day. On a good note I had l

From The Beginning

I have wanted the lap band for several years now but was unable to afford the cost. I was watching TV and seen a commercial stating go to this web site and on the web site it would give you the codes to ask your insurance about. I did not even realize my insurance would cover it, I called my insurance and they were so helpful and let me know what I needed.   I went to a Rockwood Clinic seminar in April, which I found 2 hours out of town (nothing local due to a small town). Then I went home and
